Question

The figure below shows CB = 3, BE = 5, AB = 4x + 2, and DB = 4x + 6.

Triangle ABC is a right triangle with measure of angle ACB equal to 90 degrees. The measure of side CB is 3 and AB is 4 multiplied by x plus 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 4 multiplied by x plus 4.

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

PLEASE HELP

Answer 5

I'm thinking xD

Answer 6

if we rotate that one triangle and redraw it lets see what we get.

Answer 7

since we know that these are similar triangles we can relate them

Answer 8

5/3 = 4x+6/(4x+2)

Answer 9

20x +10 = 12x +18

Answer 10

8x = 8
x=1

:D
