If ABC DEC, what is the value of x?
x = 8
x = 5
x = 4
x = 1
x = 2

Answer:
Option D. x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
If the two triangles Δ ABC and ΔDEC are similar then there corresponding sides will be in the same ratio.
Now using this theorem in these triangles
[tex]\frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{BC}{EC}[/tex]
Now it has been given
AB = (4x - 1)
BC = 4
EC = 4
DE = x + 2
By putting these values in the formula
[tex]\frac{4x-1}{x+2}=\frac{4}{4}=1[/tex]
We cross multiply on both the sides
(4x - 1) = (x + 2)
4x - x = 1 + 2
3x = 3
x = 1
Option D. x = 1 is the answer.
