<em>x = 4</em>
<em>Here is why:</em>
When adding up all angles of a triangle, they will be equal to 180.
Let's add ∠B and ∠C together.
Let's subtract it from 180, that will be the value of ∠A.
Now we can set ∠A equal to 49.
Subtract 9 from both sides.
Divide.
<u>x = 4</u>
Answer: ratio a:b = 3:5 p(X, 2) = p(9, 2)
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Plot points a = (12, 5) and b = (4, -3) and draw a line segment from a to b.
Notice that when y = 2, X = 9 so point p = (9, 2) <em>see graph</em>
The distance from a to p = 3√2
The distance from b to p = 5√2
So the ratio of a:b = 3√2:5√2 = 3:5 <em>when simplified</em>

<em>To find the distance, use the distance formula OR pythagorean theorem.</em>
