Answer:

Solution,

from the figure,height of ∆ DBC=36-h

Now,in two similar triangles, ratio of corresponding sides are equal to ratio of their heights.

Since, ∆DBC~∆EBA

$\frac{36 - h}{h} = \frac{dc}{ae} \\ or \: \frac{36 - h}{h} = \frac{10}{20} \\ or \: 20(36 - h) = 10 \times h(cross \: multiplication) \\ or \: 720 - 20h = 10h \\ or \: - 20h - 10h = - 720 \\ or \: - 30h = - 720 \\ or \: h = \frac{ - 720}{ - 30} \\ h = 24 \: cm$

Height of ABE =24 cm

hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...

Find the values of A B C AND D of <br> 4x^2 (2x^3+5x)= Ax^B +Cx^D

iren2701 [21]

The values are $A=8, B=5, C= 20$ and $D=3$

Explanation:

The expression is $4x^{2} (2x^{3} +5x)=Ax^{B} +Cx^{D}$

Simplifying, we get,

$8x^{5} +20x^3=Ax^{B} +Cx^{D}$

Since, both sides of the expression are equal, we can equate the corresponding values of A, B, C and D.

Thus, we get,

$8 x^{5}=A x^{B}$ ⇒ $A=8$ and $B=5$

Also, equating, $20 x^{3}=C x^{D}$ , we get,

$C=20$ and $D=3$

Thus, the values are $A=8, B=5, C= 20$ and $D=3$

The first two terms in an arithmetic progression are -2 and 5. The last term in the progression is the only number in the progre

Rudik [331]

Given:

The first two terms in an arithmetic progression are -2 and 5.

The last term in the progression is the only number in the progression that is greater than 200.

To find:

The sum of all the terms in the progression.

Solution:

We have,

First term : $a=-2$

Common difference : $d = 5 - (-2)$

$= 5 + 2$

$= 7$

nth term of an A.P. is

$a_n=a+(n-1)d$

where, a is first term and d is common difference.

$a_n=-2+(n-1)(7)$

According to the equation, $a_n>200$ .

$-2+(n-1)(7)>200$

$(n-1)(7)>200+2$

$(n-1)(7)>202$

Divide both sides by 7.

$(n-1)>28.857$

Add 1 on both sides.

$n>29.857$

So, least possible integer value is 30. It means, A.P. has 30 term.

Sum of n terms of an A.P. is

$S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]$

Substituting n=30, a=-2 and d=7, we get

$S_{30}=\dfrac{30}{2}[2(-2)+(30-1)7]$

$S_{30}=15[-4+(29)7]$

$S_{30}=15[-4+203]$

$S_{30}=15(199)$

$S_{30}=2985$

Therefore, the sum of all the terms in the progression is 2985.

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are represented by 3 consecutive even integers. if the perimeter of the triangle is 72 fe

iris [78.8K]

P = a + b + c
P = 72
a = x
b = x + 2
c = x + 4

72 = x + x + 2 + x + 4
72 = 3x + 6
72 - 6 = 3x
66 = 3x
66/3 = x
22 = x

x + 2 = 22 + 2 = 24
x + 4 = 22 + 4 = 26

the sides of ur triangle are : 22,24,26 <==
