Answer
Step-by-step solution
5 stepsIdentify similar triangles using .
Given that .
Consider and .
Since , we have:
is common to both triangles.
(corresponding angles).
Therefore, by AA similarity.From the similarity, the ratio of corresponding sides is equal:
We are given and .
The length of is .
Substitute the known values into the ratio:Identify similar triangles using .
Given that .
Consider and .
Since , we have:
is common to both triangles.
(corresponding angles).
Therefore, by AA similarity.From the similarity, the ratio of corresponding sides is equal:
We know and .
Substitute these values into the ratio:Calculate .
From the ratio in Step 2, we can express in terms of :
We are given .
From the diagram, points are collinear on in that order, so .
Substitute the expression for and the value of :Subtract from both sides:
Multiply both sides by 23 and divide by 12:
Calculate .
Substitute the value of into equation from Step 1:
Multiply both sides by :
Divide by 11:
Round to the nearest whole number.
Rounding 24.04545... to the nearest whole number gives 24.
The final answer is .
