Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let the first piece be x

Let the second piece 4x

Let the third piece = 5x

Total length = 40 inches.

Equation

x + 4x + 5x = 40                Combine

Solution

10x = 40                             Divide by 10

10x/10 = 40/10        

x = 4

Answer

The smallest piece (x) = 4

The middle piece 4x  = 4*4 = 16

The largest piece 5x= 5 * 4 = 20

Given: ABCD is a ∥-gram; DE ∩ AB =F <br> Prove: △ADF∼△CDE
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

By AA similarity

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that ABCD is a parallelogram

So, by the property of parallelogram AB ||CD and FD is cutting the line BC

Hence, FD is transverse line. In transverse line alternate angles are equal.

Therefore, ∠AFD=∠EDC  (alternate interior angles)

And ∠FAD=∠ECD (opposite angles in parallelogram)

Therefore, by AA similarity △ADF∼△CDE

Triangle Abc has vertices A(-2,5),B(1,0),andC(6,-2).what are the coordinates of the vertices of A’B’C for Ry-axis?
Andreyy89

Answer:

A'(2,5),B'(-1,0),C'(-6,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The rule of the reflection of a point across the y-axis is equal to

(x,y) -----> (-x,y)

so

Applying the rule of the reflection across the y-axis

A(-2,5) ----> A'(2,5)

B(1,0) -----> B'(-1,0)

C(6,-2) ---> C'(-6,-2)

Hi I got stuck on this question on a practice assignment. Can anyone help me please?
jonny [76]

Answer: A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that the answer is A and B because in this case, R is clearly a negative number, because it’s below 0. So if we change the symbol in front of the R, it has to be positive. Let’s say R is -20. Negative R should be - - 20, which is + 20. So -R > 0. We and also say that -R = V because there are an equal number of bounds that separate R and V from 0, and since -R is the inverse of R, it has to be equal to V.
