Answer:
x=37°
y=6
Step-by-step explanation:
(ASSUMING BD is a perpendicular bisector of AC, otherwise answers maybe be wrong)
Consider the triangle ABC:
AB is the same length as BC (marked), meaning ABC is an isosceles triangle.
Since ABC is isosceles, ∠BAC=∠BCA=53
All angles in a triangle add up to 180:
180=∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠BCA
180= ∠ABC + 53 +53
∠ABC = 180 - 106
∠ABC = 74
Assuming BD bisects ∠ABC perfectly, x is half of ∠ABC.
x=74/2=37
If BD bisects AC perfectly, AD=DC=y=6
Lets see!
We need to use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) to check.
So..
15^2+ 17^2 = 19^2
225+ 289= 361
Hm 225 and 289 do NOT equal 361 therefore it is NOT a right triangle.
This is very weird. How to find x and round that answer to the nearest tenth,
The building blocks of geometry would be point line and plane.
