Answer:

x = 16, x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a line parallel to a side of a triangle and it intersects the other 2 sides, then it divides those sides proportionally, that is

\frac{x+8}{20} = \frac{2x-5}{22.5} ( cross- multiply )

20(2x - 5) = 22.5(x + 8)

40x - 100 = 22.5x + 180 ( subtract 22.5x from both sides )

17.5x - 100 = 180 ( add 100 to both sides )

17.5x = 280 ( divide both sides by 17.5 )

x = 16

----------------------------------------------------------------

\frac{2x+8}{28} = \frac{5x-4}{82-28} = \frac{5x-4}{54} ( cross- multiply )

28(5x - 4) = 54(2x + 8)

140x - 112 = 108x + 432 ( subtract 108x from both sides )

32x - 112 = 432 ( add 112 to both sides )

32x = 544 ( divide both sides by 32 )

x = 17

Question 9: Please help, what would be the length of the image of the segment GH?
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

<u><em></em></u>

  • <u><em>The length of the image of the segment GH would be 5 units.</em></u>

Explanation:

You can use the <em>center of dilation</em> as your origin of coordintes.

Thus, the <em>point H</em> would have coordinates (0,0) and the <em>point G</em> (-1,0).

A <em>dilation</em> multiplies the coordinates by the <em>scale factor</em>. Hence:

  • H = (0,0) → H' = 5 × (0,0) = (0,0)
  • G = (-1,0) → G] = 5 × (-1, 0) = (-5, 0)

Thus, the length of the image of segment GH would be the distance from 0 to -5 in a number line, which is 5.
