Find x. Side splitter theorem

Mathematics
1 answer:
professor190 [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The outer and inner triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{8}{8+4} = \frac{x-3}{x} , that is

\frac{8}{12} = \frac{x-3}{x} ( cross- multiply )

12(x - 3) = 8x

12x - 36 = 8x ( subtract 8x from both sides )

4x - 36 = 0 ( add 36 to both sides )

4x = 36 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 9

How do you write 9/10 as a decimal?
kykrilka [37]
Hey there! 

In order to turn a fraction into a decimal, simply divide the numerator by the denominator. The numerator is the top part of the fraction while the denominator is the bottom part of the fraction. 

So, 
\frac{9}{10} as a decimal would be 0.9. Simply divide 9 by 10 

Answer: 0.9
