Proportions in similar triangles. need help

Mathematics
1 answer:
erik [133]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector divides the triangle sides proportionally:

  (6x -1)/42 = (10x +5)/78

  13(6x -1) = 7(10x +5) . . . . multiply by 546 (the LCM of 42 and 78)

  78x -13 = 70x +35 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  8x = 48 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 13-70x

  x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 8

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The unknown segment lengths are ...

  6·6 -1 = 35

  10·6 +5 = 65

Then the ratios to the known sides are ...

  35/42 = 65/78 = 5/6

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST ANSWER TO WHOEVER IS ABLE TO FULLY AND CORRECTLY ANSWER THIS QUESTION. Consider and trapezoid in the follow
FinnZ [79.3K]

This is an isosceles trapezoid, because the two angles are supplementary on the right side.

y is 25 based on the Pythagorean theorem

w is sqrt (850)=29.15

z must be 15

Making a right triangle to look at the altitude

cos 59=a/15, so a is 7.73 between the right corner and the edge of x

 

That means x is 29.15-2(7.73)=13.69

=============

The median should be half way between 13.69 and 29.15

That is half their sum, or half of 42.84 or 21.42

That doesn't change the answer above

Once I know the trapezoid is isosceles, the angles at the base have to be 59d and the angles at the top 121d.

please mark brainliest!
