Question

Can anyone help please?
If segment BD is the altitude of triangle ABC, find the value of x.
Triangle A B C is drawn with a segment B D inside it. The segment starts at angle B and intersects side A C of the triangle. Angle B D C is labeled left parentheses 4 x minus 2 right parentheses.
a.)11.75
b.)15.5
c.)23
d.)45.5

Answer 1

is the (4x-2) the degree of the angle?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

yes it is...okay so the altitude is a line perpendicular to the base that bisects the opposite angle. which means that the angle formed so if that angle is 90 degrees and is represented by the equation 4x-2....can we set those two equal to each other and solve for x?
