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.

a polygon has an area of 225 square meters. A similar polygon is created with an area that is triple the first. By what factor i
GuDViN [60]
The area of the original polygon is:
 A = 225 m ^ 2
 The similar polygon area is:
 A '= (k ^ 2) * (A)
 Substituting values:
 3 * 225 = (k ^ 2) * (225)
 Clearing k we have:
 k ^ 2 = 3
 k = (3) ^ (1/3)
 Answer:
 
The length of each side increased by:
 
k = (3) ^ (1/3)

LM = 9, NR = 16, SR = 8. Find the perimeter of triangle LRN.

<h2>D. 50 units</h2>

Hi, I’m Lena and I will be answering your question to the best of my ability. If you have any further questions after my answer, do not hesitate to ask me! ツ

♡ Let’s look at the main important thing(s) that will lead you in the correct path.

♥ The perimeter is the outside, it is <em>around</em> the figure. When you see those inner triangles, do not pay attention to them! They are just there to make your overthink the question.

♡ Let's solve!

♥ To begin, let's take LM. It already gives you half the segment, so all you need to do is double the number. 9*2=18.

♥ Now, let's take a look at NR. They already give you the segment as a whole, so you do not need to worry about it!

♥ Look at SR. You do the same thing as you did to LM, double the number. 8*2=16.

Now, we add all the numbers to get our final answer.

18+16+16=50.
