Question

Find x in the follow triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Fixed

x=5.66

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an around about way since it's not a right triangle.

lets call the segment line that bisects the lower right angle= M.

The two triangles created would be similar. So:

4/6=M/(x+3)

4x+12=6M

M=(4x+12)/6

and

(x+3)/(x+4)=M/6

(6x+18)=Mx+4M

M=(6x+18)/(x+4)

since M=M

(4x+12/6=(6x+18)/(x+4)

(x+4)(4x+12)=6(6x+18)

4x^2+12x+16x+48=36x+108

4x^2+28x+48=36x+108

4x^-12x-60=0

x^2-3x-15=0

Factor

(x+2.65)(x-5.66)=0

x=5.66
