Problem 44
The term "bisect" means "cut in half".
Since BD bisects angle ABC, this means the smaller angles ABD and DBC are congruent.
angle ABD = angle DBC
x+15 = 4x-45
15+45 = 4x-x
60 = 3x
3x = 60
x = 60/3
x = 20
<h3>Answer: x = 20</h3>
========================================================
Problem 45
We use the same idea as the previous problem
angle ABD = angle DBC
2x+35 = 5x-22
35+22 = 5x-2x
57 = 3x
3x = 57
x = 57/3
x = 19
<h3>Answer: x = 19</h3>
<span> Do you mean this one? </span>∑
It is summation.
Let, the first (smaller) number = x
Larger number = 8x
Then, 8x - x = 70
7x = 70
x = 70/7
x = 10
& 8(10) = 80
In short, Your Numbers would be, 10 & 80
Hope this helps!
<u><em>Step-by-step explanation:</em></u>
- Since the triangle is right use the tangent ratio to solve for x
- Multiply both sides by
x × 
( divide both sides by 
)
x = ≈ ( nearest tenth )
Then d = e by transitive property
