For this case, the first thing we must observe is that the triangles are similar.
 We can then use the following relationship:
 BC / DE = AB / (AB + BD)

 Clearing the value of BC we have:
 BC = (AB / (AB + BD)) * (DE)

 Substituting the values we have:
 BC = (1 / (1 + 4)) * (6)

 Rewriting we have:
 BC = (1/5) * (6)

BC = 6/5

BC = 1.2
 Answer:
 
The length of BC is given by:
 
BC = 1.2

(a) find parametric equations for the line of intersection of the planes x + y + z = 2 and x + 7y + 7z = 2
nlexa [21]
Direction vector of line of intersection of two planes is the cross product of the normal vectors of the planes, namely
p1: x+y+z=2
p2: x+7y+7z=2

and the corresponding normal vectors are: (equiv. to coeff. of the plane)
n1:<1,1,1>
n2:<1,7,7>

The cross product n1 x n2
vl=
 i  j  l
1 1 1
1 7 7
=<7-7, 1-7, 7-1>
=<0,-6,6>
Simplify by reducing length by a factor of 6
vl=<0,-1,1>

By observing the equations of the two planes, we see that (2,0,0) is a point on the intersection, because this points satisfies both plane equations.

Thus the parametric equation of the line is
L: (2,0,0)+t(0,-1,1)
or
L: x=2, y=-t, z=t

A student athlete run 3 1/3 miles in 30 minutes A professional runner can run 1 1/4 times as far in 30 minutes . how far can the
IrinaK [193]
The professional runner can run 4 1/6 miles in 30 minutes.

Since the professional can run 1 1/4 times as far in 30 minutes, we multiply 3 1/3 by 1 1/4:

(3 1/3)(1 1/4)

Convert each to an improper fraction (multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator):
10/3(5/4) = 50/12 = 25/6 = 4 1/6.
