PT 2 OF THE 1ST PROBLEM. PLS HELP IM BEGGING YOU

n=5

Step-by-step explanation:

3/9 = 1/3

so

1/3=n/15

by cross multiplication

15×1 =n×3

15=3n

so

n=15÷3

n=5

here the number -5 is all of the following except a rational number.

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
