If ABC and EDC are similar, what is the value of x? A

Mathematics
1 answer:
abruzzese [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

BC/DC = EC/AC , substitute values

3x×5/32 - 5x-5/56 ( cross- multiply )

56(3x - 5) = 32(5x - 5) ← distribute and simplify both sides

168x - 280 = 160x - 160 ( subtract 160x from both sides )

8x - 280 = - 160 ( add 280 to both sides )

8x = 120 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 15

I’m honestly confused on how to solve for k. please help.
stellarik [79]

Answer:

k=9

Step-by-step explanation:

slope =  \frac{y2 - y1 }{x2 - x1}  \\  \frac{ - 5}{2}  =  \frac{ - 11 - k}{6 - ( - 2)}  \\  -  ( \frac{5}{2} ) =  - ( \frac{11 + k}{8} ) \\  \frac{5}{2}  =  \frac{11 + k}{8}  \\ 5  \times 8 = 2(11 + k) \\ 40 = 22 + 2k \\ k =  \frac{40 - 22}{2}  \\ k = 9
