68. A hexagon has two sides each of length 3x inches. It has three sides each of length 2x inches. The sixth side has a length of 15 inches. If the perimeter of the hexagon is 135 inches, what is the value of x? E.4
F.5
G. l0
H. 15

G 10

Step-by-step explanation:

2*3x+3*2x+15=135 inches

6x+6x=120 inches

12x=120 inches

x= 10 inches

341

step-by-step explanation:

all you have to do is 9x31 (which equals 279) and then 20x31 (which equals 620). then you have to subtract. 620-279=341.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
