Answer:
x = 12; y = 12
B
Explanation:
TRiangles CED and BCA are similar by AA
<CBA = <CDE Marked as equal
<C is common to both triangles.
=============
y/24 are the two sides opposite <C This ratio is equal to
24/48 These two are opposite the angles marked in orange.
y/24 = 24/48 You could cancel the right side before cross multiplication
y / 24 = 1/2 Cross multiply
2y = 24 Divide by 2
2y/2 = 24/2 Do the division
y = 12
======================================
Now use <CED and <A to get the ratio associated with their sides. These two angles are equal because the other two angles are.
18/(24+x)
Now use the two 2 orange angles
24/ 48 = 18 / (24 + x) and again cancel the left before cross multiplying.
1/2 = 18/(24 + x ) Cross multiply
24 + x = 2*18 Do the multiplication
24 + x + 36 Subtract 24 from both sides.
24-24 + x = 36 - 24 Combine
x = 12
Omg Iearn this when I was in 7 th grade but I forgot the details Ik this won’t help but just wanted to point it out I wish I could remember to help. :(
The passage is "Gabriel, wrapped in his inadequate blanket, was hunched, shivering, and silent in his little seat.
Jonas stopped the bike wearily, lifted the child down, and realized with heartbreak how cold and weak Gabe had become. Standing in the freezing mound that was thickening around his numb feet, Jonas opened his own tunic, held Gabriel to his bare chest"
So he wants to share his body heat with Gabriel.
