Given:

Two similar triangles AEB and ACD.

To solve for x, we can use ratio and proportion following the rule for similar triangles. 

So,

AE / AD = AB / AC

Substitute values,

AE = AD - DE
AE = 6 - 5
AE = 1

1 / 6 = 2 / (2 + x + 4)

Solve for x 

x = 6

then,

BC = x +4 = 6 + 4 = 10
AC = 2 + x + 4 = 12

Therefore, the measurements of the triangles are:

AE = 1 
BC = 10
AC = 12

In a New York Times/CBS News Poll, respondents were asked if it should be legal or illegal to send a text message while driving.
AnnZ [28]

Answer: \dfrac2{201}

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of persons said it is legal to text while driving = 8

Number of persons said it is illegal to text while driving = 804

Total persons sampled = 804+8 = 812

Since probability =\dfrac{\text{favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

The probability of randomly selecting someone who believes it should be legal to text while driving = \dfrac{8}{804}=\dfrac2{201}

Required probability = \dfrac2{201}

GaryK [48]

Answer:

The difference in price between a small pizza and a medium pizza is $0.81

Small pizza

Side = 5inch

Area =  25 sq.in

Cost = $4 +0.04*25

        = 4 + 1.25  = $5.25

Medium pizza

Side = 8inche

Area = 64 sq.in

Cost = 3.50 + 0.04*64 = $6.06

Difference = Medium pizza - small pizza

                  = 6.06 - 5.25

                   = $0.81
