Answer:

CE = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ m∠D = 90

∵ DK ⊥ CE

∴ m∠KDE = m∠KCD⇒Complement angles to angle CDK

In the two Δ KDE and KCD:

∵ m∠KDE = m∠KCD

∵ m∠DKE = m∠CKD

∵ DK is a common side

∴ Δ KDE is similar to ΔKCD

∴ \frac{KD}{KC}=\frac{DE}{CD}=\frac{KE}{KD}

∵ DE : CD = 5 : 3

∴ \frac{KD}{KC}=\frac{5}{3}

∴ KD = 5/3 KC

∵ KE = KC + 8

∵ \frac{KE}{KD}=\frac{5}{3}

∴ \frac{KC+8}{\frac{5}{3}KC }=\frac{5}{3}

∴ KC + 8 = \frac{25}{9}KC

∴ \frac{25}{9}KC - KC=8

∴ \frac{16}{9}KC=8

∴ KC = (8 × 9) ÷ 16 = 4.5

∴ KE = 8 + 4.5 = 12.5

∴ CE = 12.5 + 4.5 = 17

Two ladders AB and PQ are resting against opposite
muminat

Answer:

The length of the longer ladder is 35 ft Step-by-step explanation: Please check the attachment for a diagrammatic representation of the problem We want to calculate the length of the longer ladder ; We make reference to the diagram Since the two right triangles formed are similar. the ratios of their sides are equal; Thus; 20/15 = 28/x + 15 20(x + 15) = 15(28) 20x + 300 = 420 20x = 420-300 20x = 120 x = 120/20 x = 6 So we want to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle with other sides 28ft and 21 ft To do this, we use the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides Let the hypotenuse be marked x x^2 = 28^2 + 21^2 x^2 = 1,225

x = √1225

x = 35 ft

Kavi solved the system
Marianna [84]

Answer:

She should have substituted y = 17 - 2x in the first equation

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 33

2x + y = 17

y = 17 - 2x

3x + 4(17 - 2x) = 33

3x + 68 - 8x = 33

5x = 35

x = 7

y = 17 - 2(7)

y = 3

x = 7, y = 3

Only one solution
