Answer:
x = 3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector divides the triangle proportionally.
The base segment to the right of the bisector is 6-x, so we can write the proportion ...
x/6 = (6-x)/4
Multiplying by 12, we get ...
2x = 3(6 -x)
5x = 18 . . . . . add 3x
x = 18/5 . . . . divide by 5
x = 3.6
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
Since the base of the triangle is given as a left-part and a sum-of-both-parts, we can write the proportion the same way:
left-part / sum-of-both-parts = x/6 = 6/(6+4)
Then the solution is x = 6(6/10) = 36/10 = 3.6.
Doing it this way avoids having x on both sides of the equation, so makes solving the equation be "one step."
Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
a
x+2=7x-3
x+7x=3-2
8×= 1
×=8
b
13y+25=8y+5
13y+8y= 25+5
21y=30
y= 30-21
y=11
Difference means subtract so we can reduce the choices right away to first and third choices. of the only the first is the difference of squares, namely x² - 4²
For this questions you need to memorize formula of triangle area. for question 5, just substitute the value into the formula. for Q6 you need to use pythagorean theorem formula to find the lenght of each triangle that i already seperated
Answer:
By virtue of the Pythagorean Theorem, in a right triangle the sum of the squares of the smaller two sides equals the square of the largest side. Only 9, 12, and 15 fit this rule.
