The answer is: y= –1/3x–5
44-2x=x-10
subtract 44 from both sides
-2x= x-54
subtract x from both sides
-3x= -54
divide by -3
x= 18
square root of 18= 4.24
in radical form 3 square root of 2
hope this helps
Well... Basically, you should prove this by SSS property(side-side-side). It's fair to say that the length of a side is equal to itself so The line that cuts through the rectangle is a side for both rectangles. Thus because of the given, all the sides of the triangles are equal to one another. This is a very important trick for geometry(I remember using it a lot).
Hope this helps!
