Question

1. Find the value of x
37.5
17
52.5
a. 39.5
b. 75
c. 40
d. 42.5

Answer 1

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment inside the triangle bisects the angle and divides the opposite sides into segments that are proportional to the other two sides, that is

$\frac{x}{17}$ = $\frac{37.5}{52.5-37.5}$ = $\frac{37.5}{15}$ ( cross- multiply )

15x = 637.5 ( divide both sides by 15 )

x = 42.5 → d
