The value of x is 3

The value of m is 5.25

The value of a is 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

I attached the picture with labels to can solve

In the 2 Δs ADE and ACF

∵ DE // CF

∴ m∠ADE = m∠ACF ⇒ corresponding angles

∴ m∠AED = m∠AFC ⇒ corresponding angles

→ By using the AA postulate of similarity

∴ The two triangles are similar

∴ Their corresponding sides have the same ratio

∴ $\frac{AD}{AC}$ = $\frac{EA}{FA}$ = $\frac{DE}{CF}$

∵ AD = AB + BC + CD

∵ AB = 3, BC = 6, CD = x

∴ AD = 3 + 6 + x

∴ AD = 9 + x

∵ AC = AB + BC = 3 + 6

∴ AC = 9

∵ AE = AG + GF + FE

∵ AG = 4, GF = 8, FE = 4

∴ AE = 4 + 8 + 4

∴ AE = 16

∵ FA = AG + GF = 4 + 8

∴ FA = 12

∵ DE = 7 and CF = m

→ Substitute them in the ratio above

∴ $\frac{9+x}{9}$ = $\frac{16}{12}$ = $\frac{7}{m}$

→ By using cross multiplication with the first 2 fractions

∵ 12 × (9 + x) = 9 × 16

∴ 12(9) + 12(x) = 144

∴ 108 + 12x = 144

→ Subtract 108 from both sides

∴ 108 - 108 + 12x = 144 - 108

∴ 12x = 36

→ Divide both sides by 12 to find x

∴ x = 3

→ By using cross multiplication with the second 2 fractions

∵ 16 × m = 12 × 7

∴ 16m = 84

→ Divide both sides by 16

∴ m = 5.25

In the 2 Δs ABG and ACF

∵ BG // CF

∴ m∠ABG = m∠ACF ⇒ Corresponding angles

∴ m∠AGB = m∠AFC ⇒ corresponding angles

→ By using the AA postulate of similarity

∴ The two triangles are similar

∴ Their corresponding sides have the same ratio

∴ $\frac{AB}{AC}$ = $\frac{GA}{FA}$ = $\frac{BG}{CF}$

∵ AB = 3 and AC = 9

∵ GA = 4 and FA = 12

∵ BG = a and CF = m = 5.25

→ Substitute them in the ratio above

∴ $\frac{3}{6}$ = $\frac{4}{12}$ = $\frac{a}{5.25}$

→ By using cross multiplication with the second 2 fractions

∵ 12 × a = 4 × 5.25

∴ 12a = 21

→ Divide both sides by 12 to find a

∴ a = 1.75

an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation.

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

-7 -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5
