Solve similar triangles (advanced)

Mathematics
1 answer:
SCORPION-xisa [38]2 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.

If y varies directly as x and y = 12 when x = 8, find y when x = 14.
Alex17521 [72]
The direct variation between x and y may be written as,
                                    y = kx
where k is the constant of variation. From the first set of values of the variables,
                                 12 = k(8)
the value of k is 1.5. Substituting the next set to the same equation,
                                 y = 1.5(14) 
The value of y is 21.
