Answer:
x = 80.96
Step-by-step explanation:
9x * 3x +1 = 2187
27x +1 = 2187
27x = 2187-1
27x = 2186
x = 2186/27 = 80.96(2dp)
Focus on triangles DFC and DFE:
- They are both right triangles because DF is perpendicular to EC
- DC=DE
- DF is a common side
So, the two triangles are congruent. It follows that CF=FE, and in particular

And since x=3, the length of EF is

Answer:
the correct answer is 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The formulat for finding the slop is
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 -x1)
so if we put the values of our two given points
m = (-13 -12) / (5 - 5) = -25/0 = undefined
so our slop is undefined which means it is a vertical line
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Factorise the numerator and denominator
8a² - 2 ← factor out 2 from each term
= 2(4a² - 1) ← 4a² - 1 is a difference of squares
= 2(2a - 1)(2a + 1)
4a² + 4a + 1 ← is a perfect square
= (2a + 1)²
Thus

=
← cancel (2a + 1) on numerator/ denominator
= 
=
