Mathematics

Answer:

  • x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Since parallel lines cut the transversals proportionally, we can set the following equation and solve for x;

  • 72/9 = 56/(3x - 20)
  • 8 = 56/(3x - 20)
  • 3x - 20 = 56/8
  • 3x - 20 = 7
  • 3x = 27
  • x = 9

Answer:

x = 9 cm

create proportional equation:

\sf \dfrac{9}{3x-20}  = \dfrac{72+9}{3x-20+56}

\sf \dfrac{9}{3x-20}  = \dfrac{81}{3x+36}

\sf 9(3x+36) = 81(3x-20)

\sf 27x+324 = 243x-1620

\sf 27x-243x=-1620-324

\sf  -216x=-1944

\sf x = 9

Find what equals to x and what equals to y
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

x=15√2  y=90 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thanks to the Pythagorean Theorem we know that with any right triangle, A^2+B^2=C^2. In this case we can use 15^2+15^2=sqrt of 450. The square root of 450 is 15 times the square root of 2. Thus x=15√2. Now we need to find y. All angles in a triangle add up to 180 so if we have 45+45+y=180 then y=90.
