where is x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
idk wat ur asking
OpenStudy (ivettef365):
the question ask for the value of x and y
I see y but not x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x is by the 5
Still Need Help?

u not helping..
OpenStudy (raden):
5x = 15
solve for x
and
y+50 = 180 (consecutive interior angles)
solve for y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=130???
OpenStudy (raden):
yep, that's right
OpenStudy (raden):
how about with x ?

x=3 lol i alreadfy had tht one but thankyou verrrry much lol
OpenStudy (raden):
but you told x = 5 above :)
you're welcome
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how do i find the scale factor o.o
OpenStudy (raden):
hmmm... there is something wrong about x
RS/MN = 14/10 = 7/5
that's the scale factor
OpenStudy (raden):
RU/MP has to using the scale factor 7 : 5 too

so,
RU/MP = 7/5
RU/15 = 7/5
multiply by 15 to both sides, we get
RU = 7/5 * 15 = 21
look at your diagram, RU = 5x
so, 5x = 21
x = 21/5 = 42/10 = 4.2
OpenStudy (raden):
do you understand ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
kinda lol
OpenStudy (raden):
x cant be 3
because the figure not same (small and giant is difference)
hehe :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so whats 3 then ????

canceled
OpenStudy (anonymous):
? u lost me o.o
OpenStudy (raden):
supposed we are never knew the 3
first, we have to determine the scale factor between the figures (already done)
then we solve for x when we know the length of RU
