Question

What is the process for this one. What is the value of x to the nearest tenth? Thank you for helping.

Answer 1

x = 14.4

Explanation:

Since the line segment is an angle bisector then the following ratios are equal

`(x)/(11.6)` =
`(8.3)/(6.7)` ( cross- multiply )

6.7x = 8.3 × 11.6 = 96.28 ( divide both sides by 6.7 )

x =
`(96.28)/(6.7)` = 14.4 ( to the nearest tenth )
