Answer:
<h2>1. x = 4</h2><h2>2. x = 20</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
1.
ΔABC and ΔAJK are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:
We have:
AC = 1 + 4 = 5
AJ = 1
AB = 1 + x
AK = 1
Substitute:
<em>subtract 1 from both sides</em>
2.
ΔVUT and ΔVMN are similar (AA). Therefore the sides are in proportion:
We hve:
VU = x + 8
VM = x
VT = 49
VN = 49 - 14 = 35
Substitute:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>use the distributive property a(c + b) = ab + ac</em>
<em>subtract 35x from both sides</em>
<em>divide both sides by 14</em>
Answer:
r = - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula and equate to - 4
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, r)
m = =
= - 4 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
r - 5 = - 16 ( add 5 to both sides )
r = - 11
