Answer:

CD=14

DE=21

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔCDE is similar to ΔFNE (∠E≅∠E, ∠NFE≅∠DCE) by AA similarity

Using Thales' Intercept Theorem Corollary, you know that:

EN/ED=EF/EC=NF/CD=12/20

Let DN be 8x and NE be 12x

Let NF be 12y and CD be 20y

Then you have a system of equations:

20x+20y+20=55

8x=12y

By solving them, you get y=0.7 and x=1.05⇒

DE=21 and CD=14

What is the factored form of the expression. <br> 4n^2 + 24n + 36

skad [1K]

Answer:

(2n+6)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you can use the given formula: x^2 + 2xy + y^2

In this case, 4n^2 is x^2, 24n is 2xy, and 36 is y^2. The next step is:

(2n)^2 + 2(2n)(6) + (6)^2

Since this equation fits into this formula ( x^2 + 2xy + y^2), we can do:

(2n+6)(2n+6) =

(2n+6)^2

Hence, the answer is (2n+6)^2

Answer:

water

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparison of numbers can be done a couple of different ways. One way is to subtract one from the other. If the difference is positive, the minuend (first number) is the larger of the two.

Another way is to divide one number by the other. If the ratio is more than 1, then the numerator is the larger number.

For numbers in scientific notation, the division is perhaps the easiest. Here, that gives you ...

$\displaystyle\frac{\text{water mass}}{\text{oxygen mass}}=\frac{2.99\times10^{-26}\text{ kg}}{2.66\times10^{-26}\text{ kg}}=\frac{2.99}{2.66}\approx 1.12$
