Given that the triangle is a right angled triangle, to solve for x we shall use the Pythagorean theorem given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
where:
c is the hypotenuse
a and b are the legs.
c=10
a=6
b=(x-6)
thus plugging the values in the equation and solving for x we get:
10^2=6^2+(x-6)^2
100=36+x^2-12x+36
100=x^2-12x+72
0=x^2-12x-28
factoring the above we get:
0=(x+2)(x-14)
hence
x=-2 or x=14
given that there is no negative distance then
x=14
thus the value of x is 14
Answer:
k = -4 or 2
Step-by-step explanation:
For the lines to be parallel, the lines would need to be the same slope. This means to find the slope of each we would take the difference of the rise over the run.

and

To find K, set them equal.

Factor the quadratic and solve for K.

k+4=0 so k=-4
k-2=0 so k=2
