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

Answer:

x = 0.1515...

100 x = 15.1515...

100 x - x = 15.1515... - 0.1515...

99 x = 15

x = 15 / 99 = 3 ∙ 5 / 3 ∙ 33 = 5 / 33

0.1515... = 5 / 33

Find the vanilla first by dividing 420 by 7 and multiplying the quotient by 2 to get 120.

Then find the banana using the equation 35/100 = x/420, cross multiply to get 147.

Add 120 and 147 to get 267.

Subtract 267 from 420 to get 153.

Divide 153 by 9 to get 17.
