Triangle Similarity Day 4- Overlapping triangles
Solve for x. Remember to draw two triangles and set up the proportion.

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The two ∆s would be ∆ABC and ∆EFG as drawn in the attachment below.

Thus, ∆ABC ~ ∆EFG. Therefore:

AB = 12 + 3 = 15

EF = 12

AC = x + 4

EG = x

Plug in the values into the equation

Cross multiply

Subtract 12x from each side

The correct awnser is 29.76 pounds.

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
