ABCD∼EFGH AD=45 in. , EH=75 in. , and AB=30 in. What is EF ?

EF = 50 in.

In similar figures, corresponding sides are proportional.  We use the similarity statement ABCD~EFGH to write a proportion:

\frac{AB}{EF}=\frac{AD}{EH}
\\
\\ \frac{30}{x}=\frac{45}{75}

Cross multiply the proportion:
45*x = 75*30
45x = 2250

Divide both sides by 45:
45x/45 = 2250/45
x = 50

What is the primary goal and secondary goal of the Fried Liver Opening in chess? <br />
polet [3.4K]

Play usually continues 7.Qf3+ Ke6 8.Nc3 (see diagram). Black will play 8...Nb4 or 8...Ne7 and follow up with c6, bolstering his pinned knight on d5. If Black plays 8...Nb4, White can force the b4 knight to abandon protection of the d5 knight with 9.a3?! Nxc2+ 10.Kd1 Nxa1 11.Nxd5, sacrificing a rook, but current analysis suggests that the alternatives 9.Qe4, 9.Bb3 and 9.O-O are stronger. White has a strong attack, but it has not been proven yet to be decisive.

Because defence is harder to play than attack in this variation when given short time limits, the Fried Liver is dangerous for Black in over-the-board play, if using a short time control. It is also especially effective against weaker players who may not be able to find the correct defences. Sometimes Black invites White to play the Fried Liver Attack in correspondence chess or in over-the-board games with longer time limits (or no time limit), as the relaxed pace affords Black a better opportunity to refute the White sacrifice.

If a soccer team played 160 games and won 65% of them, how many games did they win?
Sindrei [870]
The correct answer is 104 games.

You get that number by dividing 160 with a 100, to find out how large 1% is, and then you multiply it with 65 to find out how much 65% is, and the answer is 104 games.
