Find the value of x will mark brainliest

Mathematics
1 answer:
Virty [35]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ∠P ≅ ∠P and  ∠PST≅ ∠PRQ (corresponding angles are congruent when the lines are parallel), ΔPST is similar to ΔPRQ by the AA postulate

Therefore, corresponding sides are in proportion.  

PS ↔ PR and ST ↔ RQ

\frac{PS}{PR} =  \frac{ST}{RQ} \\\frac{x + 7}{2x + 6}  =  \frac{6}{8}   Note:  PR = PS + SR = x + 7 + x - 1 = 2x + 6

8(x + 7) = 6(2x + 6)

8x+56 = 12x + 36

4x = 20

x = 5

Here are two similar rectangles.Work out the area of the larger rectangle.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The area of the larger rectangle is 40.32 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Two rectangles are similar if the lengths of their corresponding sides form a proportion. From the picture:

4.8/4 = x/7

where x is the length of the base of the larger rectangle.

x = (4.8/4)*7

x = 8.4 cm

The area of the larger rectangle is:

A = base*height

A = 8.4*4.8

A = 40.32 cm²
