ΔABC ~ ΔDEC. ∠1 and ∠2 have the same measure. Find DC and DE. (Hint: Let DC=x and AC=x+3. Use the figure shown.)

1 answer:

8 0

DC/AC=EC/BC
x/(x+3)=10/16
10(x+3)=16x
10x+30=16x
30=6x
x=5
DC=x=5
DC=5 units long

10/16=DE/AB, DE=y

10/16=y/10
16*y=10*10
y=6.25≈6.3
DE≈6.3

Karen is buying pens and pencils for the new school year. She wants to have no more than 25 writing utensils in all. She also wa

bezimeni [28]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: number of pens
y: number of pencils
We now write the system of inequations:
$x + y \leq 25

y \geq (x - 3) ^ 2
$
The solution to the system of inequations is given by the shaded region.
Note: see attached image.
