Find x and y for this triangle

Mathematics
1 answer:
Feliz [49]2 years ago

Answer:

x = 1.25

x = 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

I marked the points of this triangle in the attached image so it's easier to explain.

ΔABC is similar to ΔADE, and all pairs of corresponding sides are proportional as a result.

\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{AE}{AC}

The length of the sides BC and DE is given, so I'll start with that and set it equal to the proportion between AB and AD.

\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AD}{AB}\\\\\frac{10}{8}=\frac{x+5}{5}\\\\10\times5=(x+5)\times8\\50=8x+40\\10=8x\\x=1.25

Now, you can do the exact same thing for y:

\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AE}{AC}\\\\\frac{10}{8}=\frac{y+7}{7}\\\\10\times7=(y+7)\times8\\70=8y+56\\14=8y\\y=1.75

First club 
y= 40 + 10x              y= 40 + 10(8)                =120

Second club 
y= 15x                      y= 15(8)                         =120

now plug a number of the answer choices in each equation until you get the same result for both
