Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: find BC
Given Triangles ABC and ADE are similar,
=
BC =
x DE
=
x 9
= 6 cm
Step 2: use Pythagorean theorem to find AC and / or AE
Consider triangle ABC,
by Pythagorean theorem,
AB² + BC² = AC²
AC² = 6² + 8² = 100
AC = √100 = 10 (answer... we can see that C is the only one with AC=10.
Step 3: Verify.. even though we know that it is C because AC = 10, you can verify that the ansewer is correct by finding CE and confirming that CE=5
By using similar triangles ABC and ADE,
AC/AE = AB / AD
AE = AD/AB x AC = 12/8 x 10 = 15
CE = AE - AC = 15 - 10 = 5 (answer confirmed)
Answer:
1 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute values are how far away it is from 0, so it is always positive. It is always the positive number of itself, so absolute values of negative numbers are the opposite, and the absolute value of positive numbers and just the same numbers.
If 5y-10=0 it would equal 2. Add ten to both sides and then divide 5 to both sides which leaves you with y=2
