Answer 2

Can somebody please help me.

Answer 3

@iheartfood, sorry I didn't know how to solve your problem, can you see if you can help me.

Answer 4

sorry @OrangeMaster

geometry is a bit foggy to me right now.. it's been over 4 years since i took it haha :/

but i'd definitely say that it DOESNT have something to do with SOHCAHTOA because that needs to be a right triangle. but i'm guessing you're using one of the rules (in example side angle side, side side side, etc)

hope that helps..

sorry i couldn't help you directly! good luck :)

Answer 5

no prob.

Answer 6

but i could be wrong :/

so hopefully someone more qualified can help you haha :P

Answer 7

If you look at ur diagram, it shows two angles congruent because of the angle bisector theorem. This theorem also state that it will divide the sides proportionally.
So you can set up the following proportion

x. 14.8
------ =. --------
8.3. 7.8

And then solve for x.
You can start by cross multiplying

Answer 8

7.8x=122.84
7.8x/7.8=x, 122.84/7.8=15.7
x=15.7

Thanks @nikato

Answer 9

I didn't know I just had to use a proportion, thanks again.

Answer 10

Yea. Got the same thing too. And your welcome

Answer 11

Proportion because of angle bisector theorem, somewhere along the theorem it says something about it

Answer 12

Yepp the answer is definitely 15.7! I solved it as a proportion as well
