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

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of the square, you want to first find the length of each side. Since the figure is a square, we know that each side is equal to each other. We can set the expressions equal to each other to find x.

$\frac{3}{4}x-1=\frac{1}{2}x+7$ [subtract both sides by 1/2x]

$\frac{1}{4}x-1=7$ [add both sides by 1]

$\frac{1}{4}x=8$ [multiply both sides by 4]

$x=32$

Now that we know x, we can plug it into each expression to find teh length of each side.

$\frac{3}{4}(32)-1$ [multiply]

$24-1$ [subtract]

$23$

Now that we know each side is equal to 23, we can add all the sides together to find the perimeter.

23+23+23+23=92 or 23×4=92

Since we know that the perimeter is 92 units, the answer is D.

Because it is a question asking for ppl playing either soccer OR basketball, we add the two fractions together. Thus, Part A becomes 3/10 + 4/10, which is 7/10 (since the denominators are the same, you only add the numerators).
