Determine whether triangles ACB and AEF are similar. Show your working and explain your reasoning. (Hint: First draw them as separate triangles. Then decide whether the triangles are similar by showing Angle-Angle Similarity, Side-Angle-Side Similarity, or Side-Side-Side Similarity)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is assumed EF and CB are parallel.

The triangles ACB and AEF are similar by SAS as:

Confirm if corresponding sides have same ratios:

Confirmed

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10
