my guess is that it's somewhere in the 60's or below, but i dont know a definitive answer

Vocaloid:
MA = 80.5 - 35
then you just set up a ratio between corresponding sides of the big triangle and the smaller triangle at the top, such that
MA/MN = x/MP

princeevee:
so 1.14?

check your calculations again
(80.5-35)/80.5 = x/96.6

princeevee:
0.56?
7 years ago
Vocaloid:
cross multiplying gives us
0.565217 = 0.010352x
x = about 54.6

do i mostly do the same thing as the last one?
7 years ago
Vocaloid:
same thing as last time. the sides of the small triangle are proportional to the big triangle
so 6/(6+48) = 5/(5 + 3x + 7)

11

good, 11 = your solution

eh I had to look this up but according to the angle bisector theorem BD/DC = AB/AC
so x/3 = 3.2/4 i think?
7 years ago
princeevee:
x=2.4?
7 years ago
Vocaloid:
yeah that's what i got too
7 years ago
princeevee:

Vocaloid:
same logic as last time (x+4)/58 = 55/63.8

Vocaloid:
a leg of a triangle **can never** be longer than the hypotenuse
remember, hypotenuse^2 = leg^2 + leg^2, solve for the other leg

hm check the way you set up your proportion. you can also visually insepct that x must be in the 40-60 range-ish
(46.2-14)/46.2 = x/72.6

check the set up again
11/(11+121) = 10/(10+5x+10)

if we let WZ = x, then YW = (8-x) and the proportion becomes x/(8-x) = 6/6.5

Vocaloid:
idk why they tell you not to round your answer though, I don't think the answer is rational

almost
x/4 = 4.5/5
cross multiplying gives us
5x = 18
x = 18/5 = 3.6 not 3.5

princeeve question ?

jhonyy9:
@Vocaloid pardon for your interfer but i think there is something wrong

jhonyy9:
bc. BD is angle bisector so this mean that divide the side AC in two equal parts
7 years ago
jhonyy9:
given that BD is angle bisector and not altitude
7 years ago
jhonyy9:
so my opinion that AD = DC = 4
7 years ago
Vocaloid:
an angle bisector does not necessarily divide the opposite side in two congruent segments.
|dw:1548283215954:dw|

Vocaloid:
anyway for this next problem you just have to set up the angle bisector proportion again
62/(x+2) = 99.2/112

I'm really not supposed to help with these, just check to make sure to plugged everything in the pythagorean theorem correctly and you should be ok

being a unit test and all

princeevee:
fair enough

well, i got a good grade on it anyway, i still have some more tests to makeup, if you still would like to help

set up a ratio btwn corresponding sides
38/15.2 = 55/x

princeevee:
that's 22?

awesome, 22 = your sol'n

hm check again
small triangle long leg/small triangle short leg = big long leg/big short leg
(3x+1)/12 = 4x/(12+3)

Vocaloid:
hm i don't think so
using triangle proportionality i get
39/26 = x/18
7 years ago
princeevee:
27, so i was close
7 years ago
princeevee:
7 years ago
Vocaloid:
good guess but they share one similar side, the angle in between (the angle at the top of the triangle) and the right side
so SAS

hm, pqr doesn't work (for AA to work both triangles must have the same angle)
as a hint try calculating the missing angle in MNO

princeevee:
so the first answer?

Vocaloid:
good

check again, you are given no angles so you cannot use sas

the big triangle is three times the small triangle so 39 = 3(x-10) solve for x
