Ok so area=162
since the triangles sides were cut out of a square, base=height
area=1/2bh=162
b=h
area=1/2b^2=162
times 2 both sides
b^2=324
sqrt both sides
b=18=h
the legnth of one side is 18cm
see diagram

another way, is total aera of square=areas of  both triangles=162+162=324
remember area of square=side^2 so
324=side^2
sqrt both sides
18=side

answer is 18cm

If B is the midpoint of AC, AC=CD, AB=3x+4, AC=11x-17, and CE=49, find DE.
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = 3x + 4 and AC which is twice of AB is equal to 11x - 17

2 (3x + 4) = 11x - 17

6x + 8 = 11x - 17

8 + 17 = 11x - 6x

25 = 5x

5 = x

AC = CD = 11x - 17 ➡ 11×5 - 17 = 38

CD = 38 and DE = 49 - 38 = 11

Can someone please explain composite events to me in layman's terms?
kykrilka [37]

Step-by-step explanation:

A simple event is one that can only happen in one way - in other words, it has a single outcome. If we consider our previous example of tossing a coin: we get one outcome that is a head or a tail. A compound event is more complex than a simple event, as it involves the probability of more than one outcome.
