Answer:
114 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there.
Line segment LN is a straight line, meaning that it contains a straight angle (an angle measuring 180 degrees).
We know that if this is a straight angle, that
.
Therefore, m∠x = 114 degrees.
Hope this helps! :^)
Answer
(9-j)-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Again, nice problem. These are not super easy. You need to imagine the triangles in the figure and relate sides.
For instance: ADC, its hypotenuse is 15
For ABC, it is 20,
so 20/15 is the ratio between both triangles. Now let's choose the side with 'x'
x is one side of ADC, the corresponding side in ABC is 15 (the second longest sides). You need to rotate the triangles, etc ... That's the tricky part :)
So:
20/15 =15/x ----> x = 15*15/20 = 225/20 = 45/4
Which is C
Not sure whether it's too late to help you though!!!!
Also notice that it's kind of a product rule:
x * 20 = 15 * 15
I am sure the book explains a short way of getting to this equation, like sides opposite, blah blah, but what i told you is the reason. You asked for understanding it! Best luck!
