Answer:

8. x = 9

9. x = 9

10. x = 36

11. x = 8

Explanation:

Question 8

As the base of the triangle has been bisected, set the expressions either side of the perpendicular bisector equal to each other and solve for x:


\implies 5x-15=2x+12


\implies 5x-15-2x=2x+12-2x


\implies 3x-15=12


\implies 3x-15+15=12+15


\implies 3x=27


\implies (3x)/(3)=(27)/(3)


\implies x=9

Question 9

As the base of the triangle has been bisected, set the expressions either side of the perpendicular bisector equal to each other and solve for x:


\implies 8x-63=4x-27


\implies 8x-63-4x=4x-27-4x


\implies 4x-63=-27


\implies 4x-63+63=-27+63


\implies 4x=36


\implies (4x)/(4)=(36)/(4)


\implies x=9

Question 10

Angles on a straight line sum to 180°. Therefore, as the other angle on the line is a right angle, equate the given expression to 90° and solve for x:


\implies (3x-18)^(\circ)=90^(\circ)


\implies 3x-18=90


\implies 3x-18+18=90+18


\implies 3x=108


\implies (3x)/(3)=(108)/(3)


\implies x=36

Question 11

Interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°. Therefore, equate the sum of the given angles to 180° and solve for x:


\implies 90^(\circ)+(3x)^(\circ)+(8x+2)^(\circ)=180^(\circ)


\implies 90+3x+8x+2=180


\implies 11x+92=180


\implies 11x+92-92=180-92


\implies 11x=88


\implies (11x)/(11)=(88)/(11)


\implies x=8
