Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Corresponding sides are proportional.
BE/CD = AE/AD
20/(3x+8) = (x-1)/(x-1+27)
20(x+26) = (3x+8)(x -1)
In standard form, this is ...
3x^2 -15x -528 = 0
x^2 -5x -176 = 0 . . . . . . divide by 3
(x -16)(x +11) = 0 . . . . . . . factor
x = 16

This is the positive value that makes the product zero. x=-11 will also make the product 0, but gives negative segment lengths in the geometry. It is an extraneous solution.

Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
all you do is go look and see which one is in the exact same spot
Considering the slopes of the segments, the correct option is:
D. No, because the triangle ABC doesn't have a pair of perpendicular sides.
<h3>When are lines parallel, perpendicular or neither?</h3>
The slope, given by <u>change in y divided by change in x</u>, determines if the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, as follows:
- If they are equal, the lines are parallel.
- If their multiplication is of -1, they are perpendicular.
- Otherwise, they are neither.
Here, we have to find if there are perpendicular segments, that is, if two slopes multiplied have a value of -1, then:
- mAB = (-7 - 9)/(11 - 1) = -8/5.
- mAC = (3 - 9)/(-9 - 1) = 3/5.
- mBC = (3 - (-7))/(-9 - 11) = -1/2.
No sides are perpendicular, hence option D is correct.
