Question

Find the value of x to the nearest tenths. the figure is not drawn to scale.

x = 15.7
x = 4.4
x = 13.9
x = 1.9

Answer 1

Answer: 15.7 just took the test and I got I right

Explanation:

got 100% on the test

Answer 2

Option A is correct

Value of x to the nearest tenths is 15.7 units

Explanation:

Angle bisector theorem states that a triangle divides opposite sides in two segments that is proportional to the other two sides.

In given figure:

Labelled the figure.

By Angle bisector theorem:

`(BD)/(DC) = (AB)/(AC)`

here, BD = 7.8 units, DC = 8.3 units , AC = x units and AB = 14.8 units

Substitute these values we have;

`(7.8)/(8.3) = (14.8)/(x)`

By cross multiply we have:

`7.8x = 8.3 \cdot 14.8`

Simplify:

7.8x = 122.84

Divide both sides by 7.8 we have;

x = 15.748717

Therefore, the value of x to the nearest tenths is 15.7 units
