m∠1 = 30° (by Vertical angle theorem)

m∠A = 80° (by Triangle sum theorem)

m∠D = 80° (by Triangle sum theorem)

The value of x is 7.5 and y is 9.

Solution:

∠ACB and ∠DCE are vertically opposite angles.

Vertical angle theorem:

<em>If two lines are intersecting, then vertically opposite angles are congruent.</em>

⇒ m∠DCE = m∠ACB

⇒ m∠1 = 30° (by Vertical angle theorem)

In triangle ACD,

Triangle sum property:

<em>Sum of the interior angles of the triangle = 180°</em>

⇒ m∠A + m∠C + m∠B = 180°

⇒ m∠A + 30° + 70° = 180°

⇒ m∠A + 100° = 180°

⇒ m∠A = 100° – 180°

⇒ m∠A = 80° (by Triangle sum theorem)

Similarly, m∠D = 80° (by Triangle sum theorem)

In ΔACD and ΔDCE,

All the angles are congruent, so ΔACD and ΔDCE are similar triangles.

<em>In similar triangle corresponding sides are in the same ratio.</em>

$\frac{9}{12}=\frac{x}{10}

Do cross multiplication.

90 = 12x

7.5 = x

Now, to find y:

$\frac{9}{12}=\frac{6}{y}

Do cross multiplication.

9y = 72

Divide by 9, we get

y = 8

Hence the value of x is 7.5 and y is 9.

What are two fractions equivalent to 5/12
saul85 [17]

Answer:

10/24 and 15/36, more answers possible

Step-by-step explanation:

if you multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number, it will always be equivalent to 5/12, as you can simplify it back to that fraction.

5/12, multiply both by two, and you have 10/24

5/12, multiply both by three, and you have 15/36
