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

The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
m∡4=65°
m∡4=m∡2---------> by internal alternate angles
m∡5=m∡3---------> by internal alternate angles

m∡1=180°-m∡2---------> 180°-65°--------> m∡1=115°

the answer is 
m∡1=115°

Four speed skaters, Marco, Naim, Oliver, and Pedro, compete in a relay race where they all agree that Naim will be the last
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

A = {MOPN, MPON, PMON, POMN}

Step-by-step explanation:

Everyone has already agreed that Naim would be the last skater, so we have to make sure that the result has 'N' in each last place. As we can see, they all have this.

Now, we also have to make sure Oliver <u>not</u> first, because although they're trying to decide, the problem asks for the <u>complement</u> in which "Oliver is the first skater in the race."

A complement is all the values that are NOT in the set, so it cannot be A = {OPMN, OMPN) or A = {MOPN,MPON, OPMN, POMN), because they both have at least one case where 'O' is first.

A complement is ALL other values of the set, so it cannot be A = {MOPN, PMON}, because that set only shows two possible values.

Therefore, A = {MOPN, MPON, PMON, POMN} is your answer.

What is the value of x?
Olegator [25]

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

On either side of a line, there is an angle of 180.  This means that when two lines intersect, the angles on either side will equal 180.

To solve this problem, add the two angles and set it equal to zero.

(x + 34) + (2x + 2) = 180

x + 34 + 2x + 2 = 180

3x + 36 = 180

3x = 144

x = 48

The value of x is 48.
