Mathematics
1 answer:
erik [133]2 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

In the rectangle below AC has a length of 28. What is the length of ED? If necessary, round your answer to two decimals places.
expeople1 [14]
<span>The diagonals of a rectangle have equal lengths. Since AC has a length of 28, and AC is a diagonal, the other diagonal BD also has a length of 28. The diagonals of a rectangle also bisect each other. So diagonal BD is bisected by the other diagonal AC at point E. And since diagonal BD has a length of 28 then BE and ED both have a length which is of 28, or 14 each.

Answer: ED has a length of 14.</span>
