Step-by-step explanation:

there are 2 similar triangles : ABE and DCE

that means they have the same angles, and the scaling factor from one triangle to the other is the same for every side.

and that means that

DE/AE = EC/BE (= DC/AB)

we know that

AE = AD + DE

BE = BC + EC

a.

so, we have actually

DE/(AD+DE) = EC/(BC+EC)

DE/(10+DE) = 8/(2+8) = 8/10 = 4/5

DE = 4(10+DE)/5

5DE = 4(10+DE) = 40 + 4DE

DE = 40 cm

b.

AD/DE = 3/5

BC/EC must be 3/5 too.

15/EC = 3/5

15 = 3EC/5

75 = 3EC

EC = 25 cm

Can you answer this question as soon as possible.
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The intensity of the first earthquake is 6.31 times the second one

Step-by-step explanation:

The given formulae is M=log(\frac{I}{S})

Here for both the earthquakes the value of S is same.

Let the Intensity of the first earthquake be I1 and the second be I2.

Given M1=7.5

M2=6.7

Now  M1=log(\frac{I1}{S})------1

M2=log(\frac{I2}{S})-----2

Now subtract 1 and 2 we get

M1-M2=log(\frac{I1}{I2})

I1/I2=10^{M1-M2}

I1=I2(10^{0.8}

I1=I2*6.31

Rama09 [41]
If you would like to know how many hours will Lena need to work before she can afford to buy the computer, you can calculate this using the following steps:

$900 - $473 = $427

$427 / $7 = 61 hours of yard work

Result: Lena will need to work 61 hours before she can afford to buy the computer.
