1. Find the value of x
37.5
17
52.5
a. 39.5
b. 75
c. 40
d. 42.5

Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment inside the triangle bisects the angle and divides the opposite sides into segments that are proportional to the other two sides, that is
[tex]\frac{x}{17}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{37.5}{52.5-37.5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{37.5}{15}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
15x = 637.5 ( divide both sides by 15 )
x = 42.5 → d
