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 :)

Enter the range of values for x using the picture shown
yarga [219]

We are asked to find a range for x. Let's start by finding the maximum value. We know, by definition, that a side opposite a larger angle has a longer length. For example, if you think about a right triangle, the hypotenuse (the longest side) is always opposite of the right angle (the largest angle). We are given two side lengths: 23 is opposite of 42 degrees, and 21 is opposite of 3x + 15. Because 42 is opposite the longer side, 42 degrees is a larger angle than 3x + 15. We can set up the inequality and solve for x:

\begin{gathered} 3x+15

Now, let's look at the minimum value. We know that the angle definitely has to be larger than 0. So, we can set up that inequality and solve for x:

\begin{gathered} 3x+15>0 \\ 3x>-15 \\ x>-5 \end{gathered}

Now, we have our final range: -5 < x < 9

Mamont248 [21]

Basically you want to find an equivalent fraction for 3/5 in the answer choices.

12/20 equals 3/5 because 3/5 x 4/4 (or 1) = 12/20

answer: 4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle BCD is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle

BC represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

Taking 45 degrees as the reference angle,

BC represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

BD represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine BC, we would apply trigonometric ratio

Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse side. Therefore,

Cos 45 = BC/2√2

√2/2 = BC/2√2

BC = 2√2 × √2/2

BC = 2
