Answer:

The, value x for the give problem is 20 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider triangle ABC,

Now, from the attached figure

Given that

PQ || AB

CP = 8units

PA = 6 units

CQ = x = ? units.

QB = 15 units

We know that

By Basic Proportionality Theorem,

CP / PA = CQ / QB

On substituting these values in the above formula

⇛ (8) / (6) = (x) / (15)

On applying cross multiplication then

⇛ 8(15) = x(6)

⇛ 120 = 6x

⇛ x = 120÷6

⇛ x = 120/6

Therefore, x = 20 units.

<u>Answer</u>: Hence, value of x is 20 units.

<u>Additional comment:</u>

Basic Proportionality Theorem

" A line drawn parallel to the one side of a triangle intersecting other two sides at two different points, then the line divides the other two sides in the same ratio"

the perimeter of the rectangle below is 98 units. Find the length of CD. Write your answer without variables. cd=4x+3 cb=5x+1
zimovet [89]

2(4x + 3) + 2(5x + 1) = 98 \\ 8x + 6 + 10x + 2 = 98 \\ 18x + 8 = 98 \\ 18x = 90 \\  x = 5
Substitute x with 5,

CD =
4x + 3 \\  = 4(5) + 3 \\  = 20 + 3 \\  = 23
CD = 23 units

Hope this helps.

Assuming a motorcycle traveled 80 miles in 5 hours at a constant speed, How far did it go in 1 hour?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

16 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write the ratio of miles:hours as 80:5 using the given information. Because we want to find the distance of 1 hour, we can divide the ratio by 5 (because 5/5 is 1, and we want 1 on the "right side") which gets us 16:1. This means that the motorcycle traveled 16 miles in one hour. Hope this helps!
