Solve similar triangles (advanced)

Mathematics
1 answer:
SCORPION-xisa [38]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  x = 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Locate point G on segment DE so that DG = 1 and GE = 4. CG is parallel to AD, so ΔCGE ~ ΔABC. Corresponding sides are proportional.

  AB/BC = CG/GE

  x/1 = 9/4

  x = 9/4

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Using the given triangles, you can write the proportion statement as ...

  (9+x)/x = 5/1

We judge this to take more steps to solve, so we prefer the method shown above.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

18 and 72

Step-by-step explanation:

the smaller part can be assigned as x while the larger will be 4x. Both numbers need to add up to 90, giving the equation: 4x+x = 90

4x+x = 90

5x = 90

x = 18

4x = 72

The area of a rectangle is 44m2 , and the length of the rectangle is 3m
Grace [21]

Answer:

width=11/2

length=8

Step-by-step explanation:

44=(2w-3) x w <em>area for a rectangle (44) = the length (2w-3) times the width (w)</em>

44=2w^2 - 3w  <em>distribute</em>

2w^2-3w-44 = 0 <em>subtract 44 from both sides</em>

(w+4)(2w-11) <em>factor</em>

width=11/2

(11/2 x 2) - 3

length = 8
