5. What is the value of x to the nearest tenth? The figure is not drawn to scale. (1 point) x = 2.1 x = 3.4 x = 9.6 x = 13.1

OpenStudy (love10129151):

OpenStudy (perl):

that vertex angle is bisected?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

figure out the scale, they are similar triangles

OpenStudy (love10129151):

ok

OpenStudy (perl):

@NickR what makes you say they are similar triangles (just wondering)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they say one angle is the same for both triangles and then the other angle is 90deg

OpenStudy (perl):

where does it say the other angle is 90 degrees?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i guess i just assumed

OpenStudy (perl):

also it says figure is not drawn to scale :)

OpenStudy (perl):

but im a bit curious about this. how come that angle has two braces

OpenStudy (anonymous):

given the information its the only thing i can think of maybe im wrong

OpenStudy (perl):

|dw:1423026533319:dw|

OpenStudy (perl):

do you agree those angles are congruent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (love10129151):

ok

OpenStudy (perl):

im not sure why it says ) ) , thats why im asking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have only seen that when talking about 2 different congruent angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all i know is that the math worked out when i tried it

OpenStudy (love10129151):

ok

OpenStudy (love10129151):

is it D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is 5.4/6.3?

OpenStudy (love10129151):

would it be C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup thats what i got

OpenStudy (love10129151):

can u help me with other one @NickR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (love10129151):

can u see it

OpenStudy (love10129151):

@NickR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so again we have similar triangles correct?

OpenStudy (love10129151):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if segment BD is similar to ad we can figure the bottom triangle is how much smaller then the top one

OpenStudy (love10129151):

im kinda confused on this one

OpenStudy (love10129151):

@iambatman please help
