Question

Use the side-splitter theorem to solve for x in the triangle below. 4 х 8. 22

Answer 1

Using the side splinter theorem the following ratio can be established

`\begin{gathered} (8)/(4)=(22)/(x) \\ \text{cross multiply} \\ 8x=88 \\ \text{divid}e\text{ both sides by 8} \\ (8x)/(8)=(88)/(8) \\ x=11 \end{gathered}`
