Question

Please help I was sick today and I don’t understand

Answer 1

This is a 30 60 90 triangle. They are saying the hypotenuse is 3x + 6 and the shortest side is 8x - 4. In a 30 60 90 triangle, the hypotenuse is 2 times the short side meaning that/

3x + 6 = 16x - 4

Now we can solve...

10 = 13x

x=
`(10)/(13)`
