Since BC is parallel to DE, triangles ABC and ADE are similar. What are the lengths of the unknown sides?

Answer:

Option D. AC= 10 cm and CE= 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure two triangles ΔABC and ΔADE are similar and two lines BC║DE.

From these similar triangles we know

\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{BC}{DE}=\frac{AC}{AE}

\frac{8}{12}=\frac{BC}{9}=\frac{AC}{AE}

Therefore \frac{AC}{AE}=\frac{8}{12}=\frac{2}{3}

Or AC=\frac{2}{3}AE

Now from pythagoras theorem

AE = √(AD²+ED²) = √(12²+9²) = √(144+81) =√225 = 15 cm

Since we know side AC = \frac{2}{3}AE

                                        = \frac{2}{3}\times 15

                                        = 10 cm

Therefore AC = 10 cm and AE = 15cm and CE = (15-10) = 5 cm

IrinaVladis [17]

There are 20! number of ways for everyone to do this so that at the end of the move, each seat is taken by exactly one person.

People are seated in a 2 by 10 rectangle grid. All 20 persons stand up from their seats and relocate to an orthogonally neighboring one upon the blowing of a whistle.

Now, we have to find the number of possible ways in which each seat is taken up by exactly one person after the move.

As the number of people is 20 and 20 seats are to filled exactly once.

So, the number of ways = 20!

The amount of time, in minutes, that a woman must wait for a cab is uniformly distributed between zero and 12 minutes, inclusive
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

P(X\leq x) =\frac{x-a}{b-a}, a \leq x \leq b

And using this formula we have this:

P(X

Then we can conclude that the probability that that a person waits fewer than 11 minutes is approximately 0.917

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest that a woman must wait for a cab"the amount of time in minutes " and we know that the distribution for this random variable is given by:

X \sim Unif (a=0, b =12)

And we want to find the following probability:

P(X

And for this case we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

P(X\leq x) =\frac{x-a}{b-a}, a \leq x \leq b

And using this formula we have this:

P(X

Then we can conclude that the probability that that a person waits fewer than 11 minutes is approximately 0.917

An artist makes a cube-shaped sculpture.
ratelena [41]
All the sides of a cube are always the same.
Area = 12 in x 12 in = 144 in^2
Volume = 12 in x 12 in x 12 in = 1728 in^3

Hence, you can confirm all the side of this cube is 12 in.
