Answer 1

Answers:

1. Skipping
2. See the diagram below
3. x = 7
4. No they are not similar

=======================================

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Skipping
2. We peel the triangles apart as shown below. There's not much to say about it. The only thing I can think is that the larger horizontal side is 8+6 = 14 m.
3. Due to the similar triangles, we can form the proportion x/4 = 14/8. The 14 is from 8+6. Cross multiplying leads to 8x = 56 which solves to x = 7.
4. Focus on the triangle on the left. The missing angle is 180-95-35 = 50 degrees. The missing angle for the triangle on the right is 180-35-60 = 85 degrees. The angles don't all match up, so the triangles aren't similar.
