Adeep sea diver dives from the water’s surface to 240 meters below the surface, swims down another 12 meters and then swims up 80 meters. determine the diver’s depth after these movements.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
