Find the value of x .
A: 13/5 B: 5 C: 19/5 D: 3
5
are you positive that's the right answer ?
solve for x when given: \[\frac{ 5x - 1 }{ 2 } = 12\]
yes
I have a few more questions , I can't figure out the answers to . Could you guys help me ?
sure :)
thank you so much ! hold on a sec tho , im going to post it .
what would you like to prove or disprove?
Which statement can you conclude from the given information ? A) AI=KB B)AI=AK C) AB=IK D)AJ=JB
Have you tried using ratios? Note that the smaller triangle,the one with longest side 12, is similar to the larger triangle, the one with longest side 5x-1. Thus, the interior angles of the larger and smaller triangles are identical. Thus, we can set up proportions. Comparing longest sides: 12/(5x-1) Comparing bottom sides (AC/2) / AC Set these 2 ratios = to each other and simplify the result. Solve for x.
|dw:1386793162499:dw|IJ = KJ definition of bisecting angle AJI = angle AJK because they are both 90 degrees (definition of perpendicular) AJ = AJ because of reflexive property of equality therefore triangle AJI = triangle AJK b/c SAS then because of that you can get that AI = AK
Thank you so much lol I understand now that you showed me . but I still have a few more questions you still want to help @jigglypuff314 ?
