Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

x = 12.5

Explanation:

Now we have to,

→ find the required value of x.

Forming the equation,

→ 14/28 = x/25

Then the value of x will be,

→ 14/28 = x/25

→ x/25 = 14/28

→ x = (14/28) × 25

→ x = 350/28

→ x = 25/2

→ [ x = 12.5 ]

Hence, the value of x is 12.5.

Answer 2

12.5 units

Explanation:

You want the length of the segment marked x in triangle ABC with AB=28, AC=25, angle bisector AD, BD=14, and DC=x.

Proportion

The angle bisector divides the sides proportionally:

BD/AB = CD/AC

14/28 = x/25

x = 25(14/28) = 25/2 . . . . multiply by 25

x = 12.5
