Question

. Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth.

x = 6

x = 37.5

x = 21.7

x = 42.5

Answer 1

Firstly, since the respective sides are parallel, you know the triangle is a skimilar triangl which means that the angles are equivalent and the sides of the smaller triangle are proportional to the larger triangle.

So you can set a proportion for AB/EB=CB/DB and solve for X

Answer 2

so it would be 6 ?

Answer 3

(x-5+10)/10=400/15=80/3
(x+5)=80/3
x+5=(80/3)
x=(80/3)-5
x=21.666

Answer 4

ohhh ok. i see where i made my mistake. thank you.
