Answer:

x = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

AD/AB = DE/BC (Similarity Theorem)

AD = 6 + 4 = 10

AB = 6

DE = 2

BC = x

Plug in the values

10/6 = 2/x

Cross multiply

10*x = 2*6

10x = 12

Divide both sides by 10

x = 12/10

x = 1.2

What is the value of x?

Talja [164]

Use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem uses the following formula:

$a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

Plug in the known values into the equation:

$a = 6, c = 10$

$6^{2} + b^{2} = 10^{2}$

$36 + b^{2} = 100$

Subtract both sides by 36.

$b^{2} = 64$

Square root both sides to get b by itself.

$\sqrt{64} = 8$

$b = 8$

The value of x is 8.

The measure of angle A in ABC is twice the measure of angle B and the measure of angle C is 20° less than the measure

diamong [38]

Answer:

m∡A = 100°

m∡B = 50°

m∡C = 30°

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' = m∡B; 50°

let '2x' = m∡A; 100°

let 'x-20' = m∡C; 30°

x + 2x + x - 20 = 180

4x - 20 = 180

4x = 200

x = 50

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the hypotenuse into segments of lengths 64 and 4. What is the length

Brilliant_brown [7]

Here, Ratio of corresponding length would be equal.
Let, Altitude = x
Then, 64 / x = x / 4
x² = 256
x = √256
x = 16

In short, Your Answer would be 16 units

Hope this helps!
