Question

The figure below shows CB = 4, BE = 5, AB = 2x – 2, and DB = x + 14.

Triangle ABC is a right triangle with measure of angle ACB equal to 90 degrees. The measure of side CB is 4 and AB is 2 multiplied by x minus 2. D is a point on the left of C on BC extended. A point E is labeled on AB such that DE is perpendicular to AB. Measure of EB is 5 and DB is x plus fourteen].

If △ABC ~ △DBE, the value of x is _________

Answer 1

Is this Trigg ?

Answer 2

area/ perimeter

Answer 3

i havent really learned it , its geometry , right ?

Answer 4

im assuming you would have to use sin/cos or something like that

Answer 5

yeah

Answer 6

you're right , sin & cosin . maybe tangent ..
