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

Sun, a kayaker, paddles 8 miles upstream (against the current) in 2 hours. Returning to her original location, she paddles downs
Softa [21]
We calculate both velocities:
upstream 8 miles in 2 hours = 4 miles / hour
downstream 8 miles in 1 hour = 8 miles / hour

ps -stream speed = 4 mph
ps + stream speed = 8 mph
Adding both equations
2 ps = 12 mph
paddling speed = 6 mph
stream speed = 2 mph

HELP PLEASE!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Nadusha1986 [10]
The equation looks like this \frac{ x^{2} }{16} + \frac{ y^{2} }{25} =1.  In an ellipse, a is always the bigger value, so a^2 = 25.  This bigger value also tells us which axis is the major one.  Sine the bigger value a is under the y^2 of the equation, the major axis is the y-axis.  This is a vertical ellipse.  The center is always found within a set of parenthesis that exist with the x^2 and the y^2.  Since there are no parenthesis with either, there is no side to side movement, nor is there any up or down movement.  So the center doesn't move from the origin (0, 0).  The vertex is also along the major axis, and if a^2 is 25, then a = 5, so the vertices go up 5 from the center and down 5 from the center.  Vertices are (0, 5) and (0, -5).  The foci follow the formula c^{2}= a^{2}- b^{2}.  c is the distance that the foci are from the center.  c^{2}=25-16 and c = 3.  The foci also lie on the major axis, so the coordinates for the foci are (0, 3) and (0, -3).  There you go!
