Answers: 

x = 4
EF = 14
CF = 7
EC = 7

-------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

C is the midpoint of segment EF. This means that EC = CF. In other words, the two pieces are congruent. 

Use substitution and solve for x
EC = CF
5x-13 = 3x-5
5x-13+13 = 3x-5+13
5x = 3x+8
5x-3x = 3x+8-3x
2x = 8
2x/2 = 8/2
x = 4

Now that we know that x = 4, we can use this to find EC and CF

Let's compute EC
EC = 5x - 13
EC = 5*x - 13
EC = 5*4 - 13 ... replace x with 4
EC = 20 - 13
EC = 7

Let's compute CF
CF = 3x - 5
CF = 3*x - 5
CF = 3*4 - 5 ... replace x with 4
CF = 12 - 5
CF = 7

As expected, EC = CF (both are 7 units long).

By the segment addition postulate, we can say EC+CF = EF

EC+CF = EF
EF = EC+CF
EF = 7+7
EF = 14

Given congruent triangles name the corresponding sides and corresponding angles
Alborosie

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given \triangle ABC\cong \triangle ADC

According to the order of the vertices,

  • side AB in triangle ABC (the first and the second vertices) is congruent to side AD in triangle ADC (the first and the second vertices);
  • side BC in triangle ABC (the second and the third vertices) is congruent to side DC in triangle ADC (the second and the third vertices);
  • side AC in triangle ABC (the first and the third vertices) is congruent to side AC in triangle ADC (the first and the third vertices);
  • angle BAC in triangle ABC is congruent to angle DAC in triangle ADC (the first vertex in each triangle is in the middle when naming the angles);
  • angle ABC in triangle ABC is congruent to angle ADC in triangle ADC (the second vertex in each triangle is in the middle when naming the angles);
  • angle BCA in triangle ABC is congruent to angle DCA in triangle ADC (the third vertex in each triangle is in the middle when naming the angles);

Answer:

The area of the shaded region is 148.04 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that a 7 cm × 5 cm rectangle is inside a circle with radius 6 cm.

The sides of the rectangle are:

l = 7 cm

b = 6 cm.

The radius of the circle is, r = 6 cm.

Compute the area of the shaded region as follows:

Area of the shaded region = Area of rectangle - Area of circle

                                            =[\text{l}\times\text{b}]-[\pi\test{r}^{2}]\\\\=[7\times5]+[3.14\times 6\times 6]\\\\=35+113.04\\\\=148.04

Thus, the area of the shaded region is 148.04 cm².
