77/22=k/(x+87.5)?
you're very close the side corresponding to 22 is not (x + 87.5), it's x - 22 since we are talking about this part|dw:1515804169347:dw|
|dw:1515804174419:dw|
so 77/22 = 87.5/(x-22) then solve for x
Wow, so close XD
x=47
yup that's the solution
so we have to find the length of these two segments then use the triangle proportionality theorem
|dw:1515804438396:dw|
MA = 46.2 - 14 BP = 72.6 - x then using the proportionality theorem from before MA/AN = MB/BP try to set up the proportion using this information
So ma/46.2-14=bp/72.6-x
??
Probably got that all wrong XD
MA/AN = MB/BP MA = 46.2 - 14 AN = 14 MB = x BP = 72.6/x then just write down MA/AN = MB/BP and replace them w/ their appropriate values, don't change the order or anything
So 46.2 - 14/14=x72.6/x?
oh whoops I meant to say that BP = 72.6 - x not divided by ugh good, so (46.2 - 14)/14=x/(72.6-x) then solve for x
50.6
good
49/35=58.8/(x+1)?
well done, now just solve that
YAY! I finally did it!!
x=41
triangle proportionality theorem 5/40 = 3/(2x+10)
x=7
yeah that's what I got too well done
Thanks
so the first step is to find the base area = (1/2)b*h where h is the height plug in the area and the height to find the base
270 = b (15) / 2 b = 36
hypotenuse = sqrt ( 15^2 + 36^2 ) = 39
Thats what I got
yup, well done, that's the answer
Thanks, but mostly thank you for your help. You're a life saver
