Uhhhh I don't think that the correct answer.
First, find the gradient of the line segment.
Gradient = Rise/Run = (2-6)/(2-5) = 4/3.
Since the other line segment is parallel to this line segment, their gradients are the same.
That means (-2+4)/(x-5) = 4/3.
2/(x-5) = 4/3
It is obvious x = 6.5
Answer:
Sin M= 16/34
Cos M= 30/34
Tan M= 16/30
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi! for x, you need to do 2x-8 = x+17 and solve, because since b is the midpoint, ab and bc would be congruent.
2x-8 = x+17
1x-8 = 17
1x = 25
x = 25
in order to find ab, you plug in the x into the expression.
ab = 2x-8
ab = 2(25)-8
ab = 42
do the same for bc:
bc = x + 17
bc = 25 + 17
bc = 42
and for ac, combine the two expressions and plug in the value for x.
ac = ab + bc
ac = 2x-8 + x+17
ac = 2(25)-8 + 25+17
ac = 84
i hope this helped! have a good day/night :)
