Question

What’s the answer to this ?

Answer 1

x = 17

Explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then corresponding angles are congruent.

∠ I = ∠P ← substitute values and solve for x

3x + 4 = 72 - x ( add x to both sides )

4x + 4 = 72 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

4x = 68 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 17
