4) Determine the solution. Show your work.
17 + x2 = 42

Work Shown:

17 + x^2 = 42

x^2 = 42-17

x^2 = 25

x = sqrt(25)  or  x = -sqrt(25)

x = 5 or x = -5

d. bc = 12 and ef = 16

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that δabc : δdef such that .

also, it is given that

so, from the options, we need that .

a.

b.

c.  

d.

as, we can see that only option d gives the same ratio as i.e. .

hence, the possible lengths are bc = 12 and ef = 16.
