Question

Use the side -splitter theorem to solve for x in the triangle below

Answer 1

x = 30

Explanation:

Side splitter theorem,

"If a line intersects two sides of a triangle and is parallel to the third side of the triangle, will divide the sides proportionally."

Therefore, ratio of the parts of two sides intersected will be proportional.

`(3)/(15)= (6)/(x)`

`x=(6* 15)/(3)`

`x=30`

Therefore,
`x=30` will be the answer.
