You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the third side AB (Identified as "x" in the figure attached in the problem), which says that in a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs:
a² = b²+c²
As we can see the figure, the triangle does not have an angle of 90°, but it can be divided into two equal parts, leaving two triangles with a right angle. We already have the values of the hypotenuse and a leg in triangle "A" , so we can find the value of the other leg:
b = √(a²-c²) b = √(10²-4²) b = 9.16
With these values, we can find the hypotenuse in the triangle "B": x = √b²+c² x = √(9.16)²+(4)² x = 10
Let Xavier's favourite fraction be a/b, Yessie's favourite fraction = b/a and Zorro's favourite fraction = c/d,
c/d x a/b = 12/35 . . . . . . . . (1)
c/d x b/a = 15/7 . . . . . . . . (2)
(1) x (2) = c/d x a/b x c/d x b/a = 12/35 x 15/7
c^2 / d^2 = 36/49
c^2 = 36
c = 6
d^2 = 49
d = 7
Xaviers favourite fraction = 12/35 / 6/7 = 2/5
Yessies favourite fraction = 5/2
Zorro favourite fraction = 6/7
8x+6-5x=1
3x+6=1
please vote my answer branliest. Thanks.
You need to find x so that then you can do it and you didn’t share a answer so how are we supposed to know??
