Question

What is the solution to x?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By geometric mean theorem,

In a triangle ABC,

$\frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{CD}{BC}$

$\frac{y}{(4+6)}=\frac{6}{y}$

y² = 60

y = √60

y = 7.75

Similarly, $\frac{AB}{AC}=\frac{AD}{AB}$

$\frac{x}{(4+6)}=\frac{4}{x}$

x² = 40

x = √40

x = 6.32
