Given two similar triangles
So, the corresponding angles are congruent, and the corresponding sides are proportional
As shown:
m∠ Y = 35, m∠ X = 90
So, m∠ W = 90 - 35 = 55
And the triangle XYW is similar to the triangle ECD
So,

 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
d. y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line parallel to the x-axis will always be in the form y=b, where b is the y-intercept (where on the y-axis the line crosses). So, for y=5, the line crosses the y-axis when y is equal to 5. 
The equation of a line parallel to the y-axis will always be in the form x=d, where d is the x-intercept (where on the x-axis the line crosses). So, for option a, x=5, it is a vertical line that crosses the x-axis when x is equal to 5. It is therefore not parallel to the x-axis.
Option b gives an equation that isn't for a linear relation entirely.
Linear equations are typically given in the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line and b is, again, the y-intercept. Option c presents the equation of y=x, and this can be rewritten as y=1x+0. In other words, the slope of the line is 1 and it crosses the y axis when y is equal to 0. Lines that are parallel to the x-axis will always have a slope of 0, so therefore, this line is not parallel to the x-axis.
I hope this helps!
 
        
             
        
        
        
I dont think this can be factored
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
V = L^3      where v is volume and L the length of one side
A = 6 * L^2    total area of cube with side L
A = 6 * V^2/3      area of cube expressed in V
A2 / A1 = (V2 / V1)^2/3       6 cancels
A2 / A1 = 8^2/3 = 4      ratio of areas
