Answer:

  x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The corresponding segments are proportional, so you can write any of several equations relating the different segment lengths. Here's one way:

  top segment/bottom segment = x/(x+5) = (x-2)/(x+1)

Multiply by the product of denominators:

  (x +1)x = (x +5)(x -2)

  x² +x = x² +3x -10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  10 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10 -x -x² to both sides of the equation

  5 = x . . . . . divide by 2

Help, please in this problem
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

x=9.768

y=6.972

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we have to use the trig relationships of cos and sin to figure out the lengths. Cos is equal to adjacent/hypotenuse so we can set it as x/r=.814 and since r is equal to 12 we can do 12 times .814 to get x.

We do a similar process for sin but sin is equal to opposite/hypotenuse so we can set up the equation y/r=.581 and we simply multiply both sides by 12 to get 12*.581 to get y.

Also for future reference adjacent and hypotenuse are based on the angle at use, since ∅ is on the bottom left x is the adjacent side and y is the opposite side.
