Question

Solve for x. Triangles below are similar. a) 13 b) 10 c) 4 d) 3

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 4 (option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, and in triangle UTV both sides are equal, we can consider QTR also has two equal sides.

therefore, the equation forms:

13x + 3 = 55

13x = 55 - 3

13x = 52

x = 52/13

x = 4
