PLEASE HELP WITH MY MATH

Carl is attempting to find the value of x by using the side spotter therom. Carl set up the proportion 6/3 = 12/x. if carl is correct what should his answer be ? if carl is incorrect what is the correct proportion and answer


they more answers than a and b I couldn't fit them​

Answer 1

`x = 6`

Carl is correct

Explanation:

Given

`(6)/(3) = (12)/(x)`

See attachment

Required

Is Carl correct?

Using the side spotter theorem, the proportion is:

`(AB)/(BC) = (AE)/(ED)`

This gives:

`(6)/(3) = (12)/(x)`

This proportion is equivalent to Carl's.

Hence, Carl is correct.

Solving further: Cross Multiply

`6 * x = 12 * 3`

`6 * x = 36`

Make x the subject

`x = (36)/(6)`

`x = 6`
