Answer:
x =
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-
=
← factor denominator
-
=
[ x ≠ 0, x ≠ - 1 as these would make the terms undefined ]
Multiply through by x(x + 1)
4x² - 5(x + 1) = 4
4x² - 5x - 4 = 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
4x² - 5x - 9 = 0 ← in standard form
(x + 1)(4x - 9) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
4x - 9 = 0 ⇒ 4x = 9 ⇒ x =
However, x ≠ - 1 for reason given above, then
solution is x =
The triangles that are similar would be ΔGCB and ΔPEB due to Angle, Angle, Angle similarity theorem.
<h3>How to identify similar triangles?</h3>From the image attached, we see that we are given the Parallelogram GRPC. Thus;
A. The triangles that are similar would be ΔGCB and ΔPEB due to Angle, Angle, Angle similarity theorem.
B. The proof of the fact that ΔGCB and ΔPEB are similar pairs of triangles is as follow;
∠CGB ≅ ∠PEB (Alternate Interior Angles)
∠BPE ≅ ∠BCG (Alternate Interior Angles)
∠GBC ≅ ∠EBP (Vertical Angles)
C. To find the distance from B to E and from P to E, we will first find PE and then BE by proportion;
225/325 = PE/375
PE = 260 ft
BE/425 = 225/325
BE = 294 ft
