Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For problem 10:
1. AE/ED=AC/CB (Since triangle ABC is similar to triangle ADE, we can determine that the ratio of AE to ED is equal to the ratio of AC to CB)
2. AE/ED=(AE+EC)/CB (Rewrite AC as the sum of the lengths forming it; This is sometimes referred to as the Partition Postulate)
3. 9/x=(9+6)/10 (Substitute the given values into this equation)
4. x=6 (Use algebra to solve for x)
For problem 11:
1. AG/AB=AE/AD (Use the same strategy as step one in problem 10, since the rectangles are similar we can create this equation)
2. AG/(AG+GB)=AE/(AE+ED) (Rewrite sides as the some of their parts)
3. 14/(14+7)=18/(18+x) (Substitute given values)
4. x=9 (Solve for x)
lmk if there are mistakes in my explanation, hope this helps :)
Let s be the side length of the square. The dimensions of the rectangle are three times the side of the square (i.e. 3s), and two less than the side of the square (i.e. s-2).
So, the area of this rectangle is
The area of the square is 
, and we know that the two areas are the same, so we have
The solution s=0 would lead to the extreme case where the rectangle and the square are actually a point, so we accept the solution s=3.
He cut the lasagna into 15 pieces. If he cut 3 pizzas and he cut each one 5 times, then he would come out with 15 total slices (3x5)
Answer:
choosing a blue marble does not represent the complement event of choosing a red marble because 2/5 ≠ 4/5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of marbles ⇒ 2 blue + 1 red + 2 purple = 5 marbles.
