The answer of x=7, because 7+2=9
So 30/48=15/(x+9)
this could be easily solved by recognizing the proportion (the other way is usiing full algebra and doing multiply both sides by 48(x+9) and then divide both sides by 30 then subtract 9)
30 is 2 times of 15
therefor 48 is 2 times of (x+9)
48=2 times (x+9)
divide both sides by 2
24=x+9
subtract 9
15=x
x=15
Answer:
<h2>AAA postulate.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
- Angles KOM and LNM are congruent, because both are right.
- Angle LNM is common to both triangles.
If two internal angles of two triangles are congruent, then the third angle is also congruent.
Therefore, the similarity is proven by AAA postulate, which states that if we have three corresponding angles congruent, then those triangles are similar.
Remember that similarity is about proportion between sides and congruence between angles.
