Answer:
x = 9/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Locate point G on segment DE so that DG = 1 and GE = 4. CG is parallel to AD, so ΔCGE ~ ΔABC. Corresponding sides are proportional.
AB/BC = CG/GE
x/1 = 9/4
x = 9/4
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Using the given triangles, you can write the proportion statement as ...
(9+x)/x = 5/1
We judge this to take more steps to solve, so we prefer the method shown above.
Set up a proportion. 2/5 = x/40
to solve the equation first cross multiply.
x*5=40*2
x*5=80
now divide both sides by 5, 80 divided by 5 is equal to 16.
so the number of girls in the computer lab is 16.

Answer:
angle1=70
angle2=65
angle4=115
angle7=45
angel6=45
angle5=45
Step-by-step explanation:
110+angle1 = 180
angle1 =180-70
angle1 = 70
115+angle2=180
angle2=180-115
angle2=65
angle4=115 because lines are parallel
angle1+angle2+angle7=180 because triangle
70+65+angle7=180
135+angle7=180
angle7=180-135
angle7=45
angel6=45
angle5=45
