Answer:

x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for x, you can set up a proportion between the 2 triangles we see.

The small triangle can be written as $\frac{16}{20}$ , and the large triangle can be written as $\frac{16+12}{20+2x-3} = \frac{28}{2x+17}$ .

Set both proportions equal to each other.

$\frac{16}{20}=\frac{28}{2x+17}$

Cross multiply and solve for x.

$16(2x+17)=(28)(20)$

32x+272=560

32x=288

x=9

Solve for x and find m∠FGH

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

x° = 11°

Z FGI = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

If GH bisects Z FGI

then Z FGH = Z HGI

  or, (3x - 3)° = (4x - 14)°

or, 3x° - 4x° = - 14° + 3°

or, x° = 11°

Z FGI = 33° - 3° + 44° - 14°

 =  60°

PLS HELP WILL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST! NO FAKE ANSWERS!! WHAT IS M∠1?

TEA [102]

Answer:

angle 1= $135$ °

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the angle of 1 you should know angle 2, what is angle 2?

angle $45$ ° and angle $1$ are symetrical so they have the same value.

now that we know that angle 2 is equal to $45$ °

then what is angle 1

if the whole line has an angle of $180$ ° and angle $45$ °.

so the equation will be :

$45+x=180$

flip the equation to find $x$ :

$180-45=x$

$180-45=x\\135=x\\x=$ the angle 1 which we found in the given equation is 135

check if my answer is correct is :

$135+45=180\\180=180$

my equation is correct

How to do the problem

trapecia [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

$g(0.5) = 2 \\ \\ h(x) = g(x).f(x) \\ \therefore \: h(2) = g(2).f(2) \\ \therefore \: h(2) = 5 \times 2\\ \therefore \: h(2) = 10\\ \\ \\ j(x) = g(x) - f(x) \\ \therefore \: j(4) = g(4) - f(4) \\ \therefore \: j(4) = 9 - 8\\ \therefore \: j(4) = 1\\ \\ \\$
