Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached diagram shows the given triangle labelled as triangle ABC. Line DE is parallel to line AB. It means that triangle DEC is similar to triangle ABC. Comparing the sides,

DC/DE = AC/AB

DC = 5

DE = 8

AC = 5 + x

AB = 10

Therefore,

5/8 = (5+x)/10

Cross multiplying

5 × 10 = 8(5 + x)

50 = 40 + 8x

8x = 50-40 = 10

x = 10/8 = 1.25

Similarly,

CE/DE = CB/AB

CE = 7

CB = 7 + y

DE = 8

AB = 10

Therefore

7/8 = (7+y)/10

Cross multiplying

7 × 10 = 8(7 + y)

70 = 56 + 8y

8y = 70 - 56 = 14

y = 14/8 = 1.75

Use the graph of y=sin2θ to find the value of sin 2θ for θ= pi/4 radians
aivan3 [116]
The graph of sin function is a curve as shown below:

Now, Sin 2Ф , where Ф = \frac{ \pi } {4}

or sin 2Ф = 2 × \frac{ \pi } {4} 

or sin 2Ф = \frac{ \pi } {2} 

Ans, sin π/2 = sin 180/2 = sin 90 = 1

Thus, the curve has maximum at 90.

2n-5=21
add 5 to both sides
2n=26
divide both sides by 2
n=13

I hope I helped! :)
