NEED ANSWERS ASAP The two triangles are similar. What is the value of x?

1 answer:

4 0

If the two triangles are similar, then by definition we have that the quotient between two sides of a triangle is equal to the quotient between two sides of the second triangle.
We have then:
((3x) / (4x + 2)) = ((20) / (28))
Clearing:
3x = (20/28) * (4x + 2)
28 * 3x = (20) * (4x + 2)
84x = 80x + 40
84x-80x = 40
4x = 40
x = (40) / (4)
x = 10
answer
The value of x is 10

24 feet long :)
All I did was I divided the 36 into 3 equal parts of 12, then doubled the 12 to make that longer piece 24 feet. This 24 foot piece would be twice as long as the other leftover 12 foot piece since 12x2=24

Find the altitude and area of an equilateral triangle

Nataliya [291]

If you look at the attached graphic, you will see that the altitude (or height) of an equilateral triangle is:
Height = side length * sq root (3) / 2
Area = side^2 * sq root (3) / 4

B.

You know that the angle formed by 51 and y + 6 is equal to 106 because it needs to be supplementary with the 74. Thus, after subtracting you can get 49.
