There are two triangles here: ABC and ADF. These triangles are similar, and thus proportional. So, we can set up a proportion between the left side of each triangle and the base of each triangle.

AB / AD = BC / DE

4 / (4 + BD) = 5 / 9

---AD is made up of AB and DB. We know AB, but not BD, so we need to find its value to find the length of AD.

5(4 + BD) = 9 x 4

20 + 5BD = 36

5BD = 16

BD = 3.2

AD = AB + BD

AD = 4 + 3.2

AD = 7.2

Hope this helps!

Answer:

<em>y = 4x - 57 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

( x_{1} , y_{1} )

( x_{2} , y_{2} )

m = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

y - y_{1} = m ( x - x_{1} )

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

( 15 , 3 )

( 19 , 19 )

m = \frac{19-3}{19-15} = 4

y - 3 = 4 ( x - 15 )

<em>y = 4x - 57</em>

Whats the value of x?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

x = 8 units, measure of angle AFE = 60 degrees, measure of angle CFD = 60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding x:

You know all three of the given measures add up to 180 because they are on the same side of the line. Write an equation and solve for x.

6x + 2 + 8x + 6 + 7x + 4 = 180

21x = 168 --> x = 8

Angle AFE:

Substitute the value of x in the given measure.

7x + 4 = 7*8 + 4 = 56 + 4 = 60

Measure of angle CFD:

Angle AFE is it's vertical angle, so their measures (60 degrees) are equal.

In the recursive formula an = an−1 + 5, the value of the previous term is represented by
den301095 [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

In the recursive formula an = an−1 + 5

a_n = a_{n-1}+5

Suppose if a_5 is the nth term then previous term is a_4

To get the previous term we need to subtract 1 from the n

So a_n is the nth term

a_{n-1} is the previous term

Here 5 represents the common difference between two terms

So value of previous term is represented by

a_{n-1}

Answer : a_{n-1}

Can someone PLease help me, Please please
Molodets [167]
The triangle on the left appears to be congruent with the triangle on the right.  If this observation is actually valid, then x+7 = 2x-5.  12=x  Yes, I realize that this doesn't match any of the answer choices, 'tho the 4th choice is the only one that contains "12."  Would you please share the instructions for this problem.
