Answer:

The length of AC is 126 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: ED=9 units, AB=81 units, EC=x and AC=140-x.

In triangle ABC and EDC,

\angle A=\angle E                           (Given)

\angle ACD=\angle ECD                     (Given)

By AA property of similarity,

\triangle ABC\sim \angle EDC

Both triangles ABC and EDC are similar. The corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional.

\frac{AB}{ED}=\frac{AC}{EC}

\frac{81}{9}=\frac{140-x}{x}

9=\frac{140-x}{x}

9x=140-x

9x+x=140

10x=140

Divide both sides by 10.

x=14

The value of x is 14. So, the length of AC is

AC=140-14=126

Therefore the length of AC is 126 units.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangles are similar, so we setup a proportion  

(140-x)/81 = x/9

solving gives x = 14

AC = 140-x = 140-14 = 126

The sum of x and it’s opposite is always zero?
jeka94

Answer:

1) Let's consider the first case with the number 0 the oppose is also 0 and we have that 0-0=0 so then applies

2) Now let's consider any real number a no matter positive or negative we will have that:

a-a =0

Or in the other case:

-a -(-a) =-a +a=0

So then we can conclude that the expression is a general rule and is true

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can verify if the following expression is true or false:

The sum of x and it’s opposite is always zero?

If we want to proof this we need to show that for any number is true.

1) Let's consider the first case with the number 0 the oppose is also 0 and we have that 0-0=0 so then applies

2) Now let's consider any real number a no matter positive or negative we will have that:

a-a =0

Or in the other case:

-a -(-a) =-a +a=0

So then we can conclude that the expression is a general rule and is true

Two bags of cement and three bags of sand weigh 68 lbs. Three bags of sand weigh 60 lbs. All bags of cement weigh the same and a
madam [21]

Answer: 4:20

Step-by-step explanation:

60 lbs can be divided into three groups, in this case the bags of sand, so 60 divided by 3 is 20.

Now you have the 8 lbs left. It gets divided into two groups/bags so you would do 8 divided by 2 is 4.

Then for your ratio it is cement to sand which is 4:20. You can write the ratio however way you want or what is required by the question.(fraction bar, ‘to’, or colon ‘:’ )

Hope this helps!
