Find the value of x in each case:

x = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the value of x, we must first obtain the value of y and z as shown in the attached photo.

i. Determination of y

2x + y = 180 (angle on a straight line)

Rearrange

y = 180 – 2x

ii. Determination of z.

z + 4x = 180 (angle on a straight line)

Rearrange

z = 180 – 4x

iii. Determination of x

x + y + z = 180 (sum of angles in a triangle)

But:

y = 180 – 2x

z = 180 – 4x

Therefore,

x + y + z = 180

x + 180 – 2x + 180 – 4x = 180

Collect like terms

x – 2x – 4x = 180 – 180 –180

– 5x = – 180

Divide both side by – 5

x = – 180 / – 5

x = 36

Therefore, the value of x is 36.

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
