What is the value of x?

Answer 1

#x=3#

Since #CD# bisects #angleACB#, by Angle bisector theorem, we know that:
#(BD)/(AD)=(BC)/(AC)#
#=> x/2.25=4/3, => x=(2.25*4)/3=3#

Alternative solution : using Sine Law
In #DeltaACD, 2.25/sina=3/sinb# ------------EQ(1)
In #DeltaBCD#, #x/sina=4/sin(180-b)#
As #sinb=sin(180-b)#
#=> x/sina=4/sinb# ------------------------EQ(2)

By dividing EQ(2) by EQ(1), we get:
#x/2.25=4/3#
#=> x=(2.25*4)/3=3#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
