first question:
In order to solve this , use thales theorem:
If AB||RS
then
CS/CB = CR/CA
CA=3+5 =8
put SB=x
CB=x+4
4/x+4 = 3/8
32 = 3(x+4)
32=3x+12
20 = 3x
x=20/3
SB=20/3
-----------------------------
second question
In order to solve this , use the angle bisector theorem:
If in your problem angle1 =angle 2 , then:
AC:BC = AD:BD
AD:BD = 3:5 (becuase AC:BC=3:5)
put AD =x , thus BD =12-x (because AB=12)
3/5 = x/12-x
3(12-x) = 5x
36-3x=5x
36=8x
x=36/8 =9/2
which means that AD=9/2 and BD = 15/2
--------------------------------------…
third question
If the segment is parallel to one side of the triangle , then you have to use thales theorem again (explanation see above in the first answer of your first question)
y/12 = 4/16
16y= 48
y=3
and
x/x+9 = 4/16
16x= 4(x+9)
16x=4x+36
12x=36
x=3
--------------------------
fourth and last question
once more=thales theorem
x/2x+7 = 16/38
38x= 16(2x+7)
38x=12x+112
26x=112
x=56/13
In order to solve this , use thales theorem:
If AB||RS
then
CS/CB = CR/CA
CA=3+5 =8
put SB=x
CB=x+4
4/x+4 = 3/8
32 = 3(x+4)
32=3x+12
20 = 3x
x=20/3
SB=20/3
