Find the lengths of DE and EF. Note: Segments BC and DF are parallel

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Segments BC and DF are parallel, then the following proportion must be satisfied:

BE/EC = DE/EF

Replacing with data from the picture:

3/5 = (5x - 4 + 3)/(5 + 4x + 2)

3*(7 + 4x) =  (5x - 1)*5

21 + 12x = 25x - 5

21 + 5 = 25x - 12x

26 = 13x

x =  2

Then,

DE =  5x - 4 + 3 = 5(2) - 4 + 3 = 9 cm

EF = 5 + 4x + 2 = 5 + 4(2) + 2 = 15 cm

Answer:

the answer is c

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to create a proportion ( it being 5x-4/3=4x+2/5) then after you cross multiply from that proportion you plug in x. and don't forget to add the other part of the triangle as well.

Lelu [443]

Answer:

B. $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total payment, T = $160

Hourly rates = $t/hour

= total payment/total time worked

The question said, "worked 12 more hours than the amount she is paid per hour".

Total time worked = (12 + t) hour

Therefore, Hourly rates of payment, t = 160/(12 + t)

t^2 + 12t - 160 = 0

Solving the above quadratic equation,

t = -20 and 8

t = $8

The graph shows the altitude of a helicopter over time. A graph measuring altitude and time. A line runs through coordinates (0,
TiliK225 [7]

We can calculate for the slope of the line using the formula:

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

 

From the given values:

m = (4,000 – 10,000) ft / (15 – 0) min

m = -400 ft/min

This means that the altitude is decreasing by 400 ft per minute.

 

 

> The slope is –400 . This means that the helicopter descends 400 ft each minute.
