hi i just need some points rq tyStep-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is: x = 8 (Option D)
Explanation:
Given ΔABC≅ΔDFE (Triangle ABC is congruent to triangle DFE).
It means that angle B is congruent to angle F, and C is congruent to E ( likewise A is congruent to D). By using this argument, we can say that, BC≅FE. Consequently, we can safely say that the lengths of those sides are also equal in measure. Therefore,
BC = 20
FE = 3x - 4
Since,
BC = FE (By using congruence statement mentioned above)
20 = 3x - 4
3x = 20+4
3x = 24
x = 8
Hence the correct answer is: x = 8

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to write the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line, we first have to know what the slope of the given line is, and there's no way to tell by looking at it in its current form, which is standard. We need to solve that equation for y to determine the slope of that line. Solving for y:
and
3y = 4x - 5 (just change all the signs so our y term isn't negative anymore...yes, you're "allowed" to do that!) and
So we can see now that the slope of this line is 4/3. That means that the perpendicular slope is -3/4. Passing through the given point (3, 5):
* and
and
so
** and, in standard form:
4y = -3x + 29 and
3x + 4y = 29***
* : point-slope form
** : slope-intercept form
*** : standard form
