Question

(x + 4) mm
What is the value of x according to this picture?

Answer 1

x = 24

Explanation:

The angle bisector creates proportional corresponding line segments on either side of it. That is ...

(35 mm)/(56 mm) = (x +4) mm/(44.8 mm)

Multiplying by 44.8, you have

44.8 · (35/56) = x + 4

28 = x + 4 simplify

24 = x subtract 4
