I think you selected the right graph in the picture, I wouldn’t all the way take my word because I’m still learning this stuff in school but I’m pretty sure you already picked the right answer
1- ASA for all triangle mentioned. The have one side adjacent to 2 angles
I'll do problem 1 to get you started.
The vertical sides are 3 and x for the left and right figures.
The horizontal sides are 15 and 60 for the left and right figures.
The corresponding sides form fractions which are equal (due to the nature of the similar polygons)
3/x = 15/60
3*60 = x*15 ... cross multiply
180 = 15x
15x = 180
x = 180/15 .... divide both sides by 15
x = 12
----------
Another way you can see this is note how the jump from 15 to 60 is "times 4", so the jump from 3 to x must also be "times 4" to keep the same proportion
3 ---> x = 3*4 = 12
Or you could set up the proportion
60/15 = x/3
4 = x/3
x/3 = 4
x = 3*4
x = 12
-----------
<h3>Final Answer: 12</h3>
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that if we have an original line and we are finding the perpendicular we know that the slope of the second line is gonna be the negative reciprocal of the first line and given that we know it must be perpendicular to the original line it will be heading downwards on the y axis with no slope so instead of y equals it will be x equals and we know that our x value of the point given is three so the answer is x = 3
