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

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of pages print in 1.5 hours = 900

dividing LHS and RHS by 1.5 so that we get 1 hour in LHS

no. of page print in 1.5/1.5 (1) hours = 900/1.5 = 600.

Thus, it takes 1 hour to print 600 pages.

Given that we have to find  how

long will it take her to print a book of 600 pages.

Answer is 1 hour.
