Answer:

Case 1:

AB = 30

BC = 50

Case 2:

AB = 15.9

BC = 36.7

Case 3: Not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for illustration of each case

Required

Find AB and BC

Case 1:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

AB^2 = AN^2 + BN^2

This gives:

AB^2 = 24^2 + 18^2

AB^2 = 576 + 324

AB^2 = 900

Take square roots of both sides

AB = \sqrt{900

AB = 30

To calculate BC, we consider ANC, where:

AC^2 = AN^2 + NC^2

40^2 = 24^2 + NC^2

1600 = 576 + NC^2

Collect like terms

NC^2 = 1600 - 576

NC^2 = 1024

Take square roots

NC = \sqrt{1024

NC = 32

So:

BC = NC + BN

BC = 32 + 18

BC = 50

Case 2:

Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

AN^2 = AB^2 + BN^2

This gives:

24^2 = AB^2 + 18^2

576 = AB^2 + 324

Collect like terms

AB^2 = 576 - 324

AB^2 = 252

Take square roots of both sides

AB = \sqrt{252

AB = 15.9

To calculate BC, we consider ABC, where:

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

40^2 = 252 + BC^2

1600 = 252 + BC^2

Collect like terms

BC^2 = 1600 - 252

BC^2 = 1348

Take square roots

BC = \sqrt{1348

BC = 36.7

Case 3:

This is not possible because in ANC

The hypotenuse AN (24) is less than AC (40)

Can some one help me find x?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Exterior angles are equal.

7x - 3 = 6x + 17

Add 3 and subtract 6x to both sides.

x = 20 is the answer.
