we know that

triangles BCD and ACE are similar

so, their ratios of sides must be equal

Calculation of y:

\frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{CD}{CE}

we can see that

AC=AB+BC

AC=y+3

CE=CD+DE

CE=4+6

CE=10

now, we can plug values

\frac{3}{y+3}=\frac{4}{10}

now, we can solve for y

3*10=4*(y+3)

30=4y+12

30-12=4y+12-12

18=4y

y=4.5

Calculation of AC:

we know that

AC=y+3

we can plug y

and we get

AC=4.5+3

AC=7.5...................Answer

Brad buys two packages of mushrooms which mushrooms cost less per pound, $11.25 for 2/3 pounds and $7.99 for 1/2 pounds. Pls hel
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

$7.99 for 1/2 pounds cost less per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The unit rate is equal to divide the total cost by the total weight

step 1

Find out the unit rate of the first package

$11.25 for 2/3 pounds

The unit rate is

11.25:\frac{2}{3}=\frac{33.75}{2}=\$16.875\ per\ pound

step 2

Find out the unit rate of the first package

$7.99 for 1/2 pounds

The unit rate is

7.99:\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15.98}{1}=\$15.98\ per\ pound

therefore

The second package cost less per pound

Find the measures of two angles, one positive and one negative that are coterminal with pi/5
lozanna [386]
To find coterminal angles for an angle, β, given in radians use the following formula:
                                  coterminal angle =  β + 2πk
                          where k is an integer {..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}
Negative Coterminal Angle: k = -1 
                                   NCA = π/5 + 2π(-1)
                                            = -9π/5      
Positive Coterminal Angle: k = 1
                                  PCA = π/5 + 2π(1)
                                           = 11π/5
The following answers are just one of many possible answer... you have infinite number of choices for k.
NCA =  \frac{-9 \pi }{5}
PCA= \frac{11 \pi }{5}
