Solve for x.
that is all thats provided for the question

The, value x for the give problem is 20 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider triangle ABC,

Now, from the attached figure

Given that

PQ || AB

CP = 8units

PA = 6 units

CQ = x = ? units.

QB = 15 units

We know that

By Basic Proportionality Theorem,

CP / PA = CQ / QB

On substituting these values in the above formula

⇛ (8) / (6) = (x) / (15)

On applying cross multiplication then

⇛ 8(15) = x(6)

⇛ 120 = 6x

⇛ x = 120÷6

⇛ x = 120/6

Therefore, x = 20 units.

Answer: Hence, value of x is 20 units.

Additional comment:

Basic Proportionality Theorem

" A line drawn parallel to the one side of a triangle intersecting other two sides at two different points, then the line divides the other two sides in the same ratio"

80π/3 or about 83.775

step-by-step explanation:

since a cone is 1/3 of a cylinder, we need to find the base's area. since area = πr^2, we get 16π. then, multiplying this by 5, we get 80π. dividing by 3, since the cone's volume is 1/3 of that of a cylinder's, we get 80π/3.

hope this !
