What is the value of x? Enter your answer in the box.
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right with hypotenuse of 13
Use Pythagoras' identity to solve for x
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
x² + 12² = 13²
x² + 144 = 169 ( subtract 144 from both sides )
x² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = = 5

The unknown angles in the cyclic quadrilateral is as follows:
∠BGX = 74° (sum of angles in a triangle)
∠BGF = 180° (opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)
∠BCF = 100°(sum of angles in a triangle)
∠BCG = 26°
∠BFG = 22°
<h3>Cyclic Quadrilateral</h3>A cyclic quadrilateral has all its angles equal to 360 degrees. The sum of angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is equals to 360 degrees.
Let's find the missing angles as follows:
∠BGX = 180 - 48 - 58 = 74° (sum of angles in a triangle)
∠BGF = 180 - 100 = 80° (opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary)
∠BCF = 180 - 22 - 58 = 100°(sum of angles in a triangle)
∠BCG = 100 - 74 = 26°
∠BFG ≅ CBF = 22°(alternate angles)
