Answer:

The length of DE is 14 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in triangle ABC segment DE is parallel to the side AC . (The endpoints of segment DE lie on the sides AB and BC respectively). we have to find the length of DE.

Given lengths are AC=20cm, AB=17cm, and BD=11.9cm

In ΔBDE and ΔBAC

∠BDE=∠BAC       (∵Corresponding angles)

∠BED=∠BCA       (∵Corresponding angles)

By AA similarity rule, ΔBDE~ΔBAC

∴their corresponding sides are in proportion

⇒ \frac{BE}{BC}=\frac{BD}{BA}=\frac{DE}{AC}

⇒ \frac{BD}{BA}=\frac{DE}{AC}

⇒ \frac{11.9}{17}=\frac{DE}{20}

⇒ DE=\frac{20\times 11.9}{17}=14cm

Which measurements could represent the side lengths of a right triangle?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

16 cm, 30 cm, 34 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this answer simply by plugging each number into my calculator with the following equation:

\sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }

When you the lower numbers into the equation, if the lengths really do give you a triangle, then you should get the largest number as your output. This can help you with any of the other questions that you may have to answer.

in general the value of a car decreases with age what would ne the correlation between the age and values of all cars -1, 0.7, 1
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Option D, i.e., -0.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation describes the relation between two variables. It is defined by r and the value of correlation lies in the interval [-1,1].

If r=1, it represents strong positive correlation between two variables.

If r=0, it represents no correlation between two variables.

If r=-1, it represents strong negative correlation between two variables.

It is given that the value of a car decreases with age. The value of one variable decreases if the value of another variable increases. It means, the given problem has negative correlation.

If the data points lie about a straight negative line then coefficient is -1.

Since, the data set is not given, so the it represents moderate negative correlation, i.e, r=-0.7.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Select Proportional or Not Proportional to correctly classify each pair of ratios.Proportional or Not Proportional 7/8 and 42/4
Yakvenalex [24]
Based on the given fractions above which are 7/8 and 42/4, in order for us to know if they are both proportional is to do the cross multiplication. Let's say, we multiply 4 by 7 and we get 28. Divide 28 by 8 and the result is 3.5 and not 42. Therefore, we can say that these fractions are NOT proportional. Hope this helps.
