Answer: x = 150/6 = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the information shown in the diagram: in triangle ABC, Angle A = 68, Angle C = 38, AB = 6, and BC = 10. In triangle DEF, Angle D = 38, Angle E = 74, EF = 15, and DE = x.)
The value of x is (Choose...4, 11, 12, 19, 20, 25).
To solve this, we notice that the sum of the angle measures mentioned is 68 + 38 + 74 = 180. Thus Triangles ABC and FED are similar by AA Similarity. It remains only to set up the proportion:
DE/CB = EF/BA
x/10 = 15/6
x = 150/6 = 25
The value of x in the triangle is 25
The triangle are similar.
Similar triangles are only different in sizes. There corresponding angles are equal and all corresponding side have the same ratios.
Therefore, let's find the value x by establishing the proportion below:
ΔABC ≅ ΔFED
AB / FE = BC / ED = AC / FD
6 / 15 = 10 / x
cross multiply
6x = 150
x = 150 / 6
x = 25
