Answer:
x = 3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector divides the triangle proportionally.
The base segment to the right of the bisector is 6-x, so we can write the proportion ...
x/6 = (6-x)/4
Multiplying by 12, we get ...
2x = 3(6 -x)
5x = 18 . . . . . add 3x
x = 18/5 . . . . divide by 5
x = 3.6

<em>Alternate solution</em>
Since the base of the triangle is given as a left-part and a sum-of-both-parts, we can write the proportion the same way:
left-part / sum-of-both-parts = x/6 = 6/(6+4)
Then the solution is x = 6(6/10) = 36/10 = 3.6.
Doing it this way avoids having x on both sides of the equation, so makes solving the equation be "one step."
Two planes intersect in a line sometimes.
Answer:
B = (-6, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
If M is the midpoint of AB, then ...
B = 2M - A
B = 2(-1, 4) -(4, 2) = (-2-4, 8-2)
B = (-6, 6)

Answer:
x = 18 and y = 6√10
Step-by-step explanation:
First using pythagoras theorem on the small triangle
h² = 6² + 2²
h² = 36 + 4
h² = 40
h= √40
h = √4 * 10
h = 2√10
Using the similarity theorem;
y/2√10 = 6/2
y/√10 = 6
y = 6√10
To get x we will use the pythagoras theorem
y² = x²+6²
(6√10)² = x² + 36
360 = x² + 36
x² = 360 - 36
x² = 324
x = 18
Hence x = 18 and y = 6√10
