Mathematics
1 answer:
Sloan [31]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to attachment for marking of sides.

In the given figure , ∆ABC , ∆ABD and ∆ADC are right angled triangles . Therefore here we can use the Pythagoras theorem , as ,

\longrightarrow base² + perpendicular² = hypotenuse ² .

<u>•</u><u> </u><u>In </u><u>∆</u><u>A</u><u>B</u><u>D</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>we </u><u>have</u><u> </u><u>;</u>

\longrightarrow AB² + BD² = AD²

\longrightarrow AB² + x² = 10²

\longrightarrow AB² = 10² - x²

\longrightarrow AB² = 100 - x²

\rule{200}2

<u>•</u><u> </u><u>Again</u><u> </u><u>in </u><u>∆</u><u>A</u><u>D</u><u>C</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>we </u><u>have</u><u> </u><u>;</u>

\longrightarrow AC² + AD² = CD²

\longrightarrow AC² = 20² - 10²

\longrightarrow AC² = 400 - 100

\longrightarrow AC² = 300

\rule{200}2

<u>Again</u><u> </u><u>in </u><u>∆</u><u>A</u><u>B</u><u>C</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>we </u><u>have</u><u> </u><u>,</u>

\longrightarrow AC² = AB² + BC²

Substituting the values from above ,

\longrightarrow 300 = 100-x² + (20-x)²

\longrightarrow 300 = 100 - x² + 400 + x² - 40x

\longrightarrow 40x = 500 - 300

\longrightarrow 40x = 200

\longrightarrow x = 200/40

\longrightarrow x = 5

<h3>Hence the required answer is 5 .</h3>

If x/5+6=-14 then x equals
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

x = - 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{x}{5} + 6 = - 14 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

\frac{x}{5} = - 20

Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction

x = 5 × - 20 = - 100
