Remark
If the lines are parallel then triangle RQS will be similar to triangle RTP
From that, all three lines in one triangle will bear the same ratio to all three lines of the second triangle.
Givens
PQ = 8
QR = 5
RS = 15
ST = x + 3
Ratio
QR/RP = RS/RT
Sub and solve
RP = 5 + 8
RP = 13
RT = 15 + x + 3
RT = 18 + x
5/13 = 15 / (18 + x) Cross multiply
5(18 + x) = 195 Remove the brackets on the left.
90 + 5x = 195 Subtract 90 from both sides.
5x = 105 Divide by 5
x = 105/5
x = 21 Answer <<<<<<<
Yes it does have a great day
Click off the first one because 180 (Thea) < 225 (Eleanor). Then keep the second one and click the third and fourth one.
Answer:
x = 15.7945

<u>Trigonometry</u>
- [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
- [Right Triangles Only] sinθ = opposite over hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify variables</em>
Angle θ = 33°
Opposite Leg = <em>x</em>
Hypotenuse = 29
<u>Step 2: Find Angle</u>
- Substitute in variables [sine]: sin33° = x/29
- [Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply 29 on both sides: 29sin33° = x
- Rewrite: x = 29sin33°
- Evaluate: x = 15.7945
