Answer:
-9 =x
Step-by-step explanation:
We know these are similar triangles
We can use ratio's to solve
Let CS = y and XR = y+y or 2y
y x+19
------ = ------------
2y x+29
We can simplify the ratio on the left by dividing by y
1 x+19
------ = ------------
2 x+29
Using cross products
1(x+29) = 2(x+19)
Distribute
x+29 = 2x+38
Subtract x from each side
x-x+29 = 2x-x+38
29 = x+38
Subtract 38 from each side
29-38= x+38-38
-9 =x
Well I got 17.5
You would start with 6x1=6
Then you would add 7: 6+7=13
Next you would multiply 13 by (1/2): 13(1/2)=6.5
Finally you would add 11 to 6.5: 6.5+11= 17.5
Answer:
b2 = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
A = h(b1 + b2)
Given:
A = 16
h = 4
b1 = 3
b2 = x
Work:
A = h(b1 + b2)
16 = 4(3 + x)
16 = 12 + 4x
4x = 16 - 12
4x = 4
x = 1
