Answer:

x=2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC and ΔADE are similar.

∴ sides are proportional.

[tex]\frac{5}{1} =\frac{x+9}{x} \\5=\frac{x}{x} +\frac{9}{x} \\5=1+\frac{9}{x}\\\frac{9}{x}=5-1\\\frac{9}{x}=4\\x=\frac{9}{4}=2.25[/tex]

Answer:

x = 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the triangles are similar

We can use ratios to solve

x          x+9

----- = ----------------

1            5

Using cross products

5x = 1(x+9)

5x = x+9

Subtract x

5x-x = x+9-x

4x= 9

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 9/4

x = 9/4
