Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{20x+108}{20x+381} = \frac{372}{589}

589( 20x + 108 ) = 372( 20x + 381 )

11780x + 63612 = 7440x + 141732

4340x = 78120

x = 18

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the ratios between the two triangles

We'll use AV and AC

372 ÷ 589 = 12/19

All of the sides of the smaller triangle are 12/19 of the bigger triangle

Now let's find x

We know that AU + UB = AB

So it's 20x + 108 + 273 = AB

12/19 of a bigger triangle side equals a small triangle side

(12/19)AB = AU

For this equation multiply both sides by 19/12 to isolate AB

(12/19)AB x 19/12 = AU x 19/12

AB = (19/12)AU

Now we have this

20x + 108 + 273 = (19/12)(20x + 108)

20x + 381 = (19/12)(20x + 108)

Distribute the 19/12

20x + 381 = 95/3x + 171

Move all like terms to one side

20x + 381 = 95/3x + 171

       - 171                 - 171

20x + 210 = 95/3x

- 20x           - 20x

Don't forget about common denominators

210 = 95/3x - 60/3x

210 = 35/3x

Multiply both sides by 3

210 x 3 = 35/3x x 3

630 = 35x

Divide both sides by 35

630/35 = 35x/35

x = 18

What is the measure of 2?
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Value of x:

{ \tt{(7x + 1) \degree + (18x + 4) \degree = 180 \degree}} \\  { \tt{25x + 5 = 180}} \\ { \tt{25x = 175}} \\ x = 7

Finding m‹2 :

{ \tt{m \angle2 = (7x + 1) \degree}} \\ { \tt{m \angle2 = (7 \times 7) + 1}} \\ { \bf{m \angle2 = 50 \degree}}

Oliga [24]

Answer:

Option C - 70 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a right angle triangle is given by the formula :

A = 1/2×h×b

A = 1/2×7×4

A = 1/2×28

A = 14

This is the area of 1 right angle triangle. The area of 5 will be

14×5 = 70

Units will be cm²

Hope this helped and have a good day
