X = 10

The triangles are similar by SAS, so we can set up a proportion of their sides.

9/(33-9) = 12/(3x+2)
9/24 = 12/3x+2

Reduce
3/8 = 12/3x+2

Cross multiply
3(3x+2) = 12*8

Distribute and multiply
9x + 6 = 96

Subtract 6
9x = 90

Divide by 9
x = 10

Check:
9/24 = 12/3x+2
9/24 = 12/3*10 + 2
9/24 = 12/30 + 2
9/24 = 12/32
3/8 = 3/8 :)

From their location in the diagram, what are two possible values for m and n?
yarga [219]
M=6/5 and n = sqrt(2), is rational (but not an integer) and n is irrational.

The case with n = sqrt(9)=3, is not a solution. The case with m=4pi neither.

The last case is m = 6/2=3, integer, so neither works.

So, it is the one with m=6/5 and sqrt(2)
