6 0

Answer:

39 students

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you need to first set up a proportion with x equaling the number of students who voted for the athlete, 65/100 = x/60. 65/100 represents 65% and it is equal to a certain number of students out of 60. To solve for x you need to cross multiply so you would have 100x=65(60), simplified this would be 100x=3900, then you divide both sides by 100 to get x over 39. So, 39 students voted for the athlete.

In the diagram, point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3. If line segment AC is vertical and line segment CD is horiz
KIM [24]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the coordinates of pointD if A(2,-6), B(10,2) and point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3.

If point D divides the segment AB in the ratio m:n, then

D\left(\dfrac{nx_A+mx_B}{m+n},\dfrac{ny_A+my_B}{m+n}\right)

So

D\left(\dfrac{3\cdot 2+5\cdot 10}{5+3},\dfrac{3\cdot (-6)+5\cdot 2B}{5+3}\right)=D(7,-1)

Point C has the x-coordinate the same as point A and the y-coordinate the same as point D.

Thus, C(2,-1)

Answer:

ΔABC ~ ΔDEC

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : DE║AB

              Statements                              Reasons

1). DE║AB                                              1). Given

2). ∠CDE ≅ ∠CAB                                2). Corresponding angles

                                                [Since DE║AB and AC is the transverse]

3). ∠CED ≅ ∠CBA                                3). Corresponding angles

                                                [Since DE║AB and BC is the transverse]

4). ΔABC ~ ΔDEC                                 4). By AA property of similarity    

Hence ΔABC is similar to ΔDEC.
