Answer:

Part a) ABD and CDE are similar by AA Similarity Postulate

Part b) $x=18\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this figure Triangles ABD and CDE are similar by AA Similarity Postulate

$\frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{BD}{CD}$

substitute the values

$\frac{x}{6}=\frac{12}{4}$

$x=6*12/4=18\ units$

0.985 rounded to the nearest tenth

GarryVolchara [31]

They always try to trick you with this. Remember anything 5 or above would round up, anything 4 and under would round down. So look for the tenth place. that's the 9. The number to the right is 8 which is greater than 5. That means round up. You can't round it to 0.1 because that takes it back down. So you just move it over. The answer is 1.0.

A bag contains marbles numbered 1 through 100. Zoe draws a marble. Then, without replacing the marble, she draws a second marble

Neporo4naja [7]

If starting out, there are 100 marbles and Zoe pulls out a 5 and doesn't replace it, then there are 99 marbles left to choose from. So, there are 9 digits 1-10 (not including #5) making the proportion you have left 9/99 which simplifies to 1/11
