I don’t understand how exactly im supposed to approach this problem in the triangle nor do I understand how it works. like I don’t get what kind of equation or proportion im supposed to use to find x or segment CB🙂‍↕️

do you understand how ratios work first of all

#

what it's saying is

#

if you take each side and join them together in a straight line

#

bc will be 3/7ths of the legnth of the straight line

#

ac will be 2/7ths of the straight line

#

and ab will also be 2/7ths of the straight line

#

somewhat i think? im confused how i would be able to find x though

#

like do i plug it in just to each part or something

#

well we know that bc is 1.5 x larger than ac right

#

because 3/7 is 1.5x larger than 2/7

finite void
#

right

onyx raft
#

and we can now set up an equation

#

1.5 * ac= bc

#

and then you input your values for the length of ac and bc

OHHH okay i see
