Answer:
- Q6. x = 17
- Q8. Yes, parallel
- Q9. No, not parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
Q6. Solve for x
Use ratios of similar sides
- 28/(82 - 28) = (2x + 8)/(5x - 4)
- 28/54 = (2x + 8)/(5x - 4)
- 14/27 = (2x + 8)/(5x - 4)
- 14(5x - 4) = 27(2x + 8)
- 70x - 56 = 54x + 216
- 70x - 54x = 56 + 216
- 16x = 272
- x = 272/16
- x = 17
Q8
If ratios are same, the lines are parallel
- 41.8/33 = (102 - 45)/45
- 41.8/33 = 57/45
- 41.8*45 = 33*57
- 1881 = 1881
Yes, lines are parallel
Q9
Incorrect, lines are not parallel
