Answers:
x = 7
The measure of angle D is 14 degrees
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
Angle C and angle D are complementary, which means they add to 90 degrees.
(angle C) + (angle D) = 90
(12x-8) + (3x-7) = 90
12x-8 + 3x-7 = 90
(12x+3x) + (-8-7) = 90
15x-15 = 90
15x-15+15 = 90+15
15x = 105
15x/15 = 105/15
x = 7
So you have the correct x value. Nice work.
Now use this x value to find the measure of angle D
angle D = 3*x - 7
angle D = 3*7 - 7
angle D = 21 - 7
angle D = 14 degrees
22/7. It's basically the same thing
We need to work out first the scale factor of the side length
Side MN correspond to the side JK
Side MN = 3.5 cm
Side JK = 14 cm
Scale factor = 14/3.5 = 4
Side OM correspond to side LJ
Side OM = 12 cm
Side LJ = 12 × 4 = 48 cm
Answer:
x=21
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+12=96
subtract 12 from both sides
4x=84
divide both sides by 4
x=21
