Question

Please help me solve for x

Answer 1

a) The ratio of the part of the triangle inside the circle and outside stays the same no matter what. So, I can set up an equality:

`(4)/(6) = (x)/(5)`

Solving for x gives us:

`20=6x`

`x = (20)/(6)= (10)/(3)`

And that's your answer.

Same thing for part b:


`(5)/(3) = (x)/(4)`

`20=3x`

`x = (20)/(3)`

And there ya go. If you have any queries, I'd be happy to help.
