Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles ΔABC and ΔBAD are congruent. So,
- AB ≅ BA;
- AC ≅ BD;
- BC ≅ AD;
- ∠ABC ≅ ∠BAD;
- ∠BCA ≅ ∠ADB;
- ∠CAB ≅ ∠DBA.
Consider triangles AEC and BED. In these triangles,
- AC ≅ BD;
- ∠EAC ≅ ∠EBD (because ∠CBA ≅ ∠BAD);
- ∠AEC ≅ ∠BED (as vertical angles).
So, ΔAEC ≅ ΔBED. Thus,
AE ≅ EB.
This means that segment CD bisects segment AD.
Answer:
x = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
x and 167 are a linear pair, x plus 167 will equal 180
x + 167 = 180
x = 180 - 167
x = 13
To check: x + x + 167 + 167 = 360
x = 13
13 + 13 + 167 + 167 = 360
26 + 167 + 167 = 360
26 + 334 = 360
360 = 360
2(2 + (x + 1/2x^2))
The brackets are important in this question.
