<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • ABDC = 6 in²
  • AABD = 8 in²
  • AABC = 14 in²
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

A diagram can be helpful.

When triangles have the same altitude, their areas are proportional to their base lengths.

The altitude from D to line BC is the same for triangles BDC and EDC. The base lengths of these triangles have the ratio ...

... BC : EC = (1+5) : 5 = 6 : 5

so ABDC will be 6/5 times AEDC.

... ABDC = (6/5)×(5 in²)

... ABDC = 6 in²

_____

The altitude from B to line AC is the same for triangles BDC and BDA, so their areas are proportional to their base lengths. That is ...

... AABD : ABDC = AD : DC = 4 : 3

so AABD will be 4/3 times ABDC.

... AABD = (4/3)×(6 in²)

... AABD = 8 in²

_____

Of course, AABC is the sum of the areas of the triangles that make it up:

... AABC = AABD + ABDC = 8 in² + 6 in²

... AABC = 14 in²

padilas [110]
If you would like to write the equation in the above form, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x^2 - 8x + 13 = 0
(x - 4)^2 = x^2 - 8x + 16
(x - 4)^2 - 3 = 0
(x - 4<span>)^2 = 3
</span>
The correct result would be (x - 4<span>)^2 = 3.</span>

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are four marbles that are red.

It doesnt matter if we have a probability of picking blue because the question says you are picking red.

There are four possible outcomes and one favorable outcome so it is 1/4 of 25/100 or 25%

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!
