15. Find the length of segment DE of the triangle ABC.

Mathematics
1 answer:
ruslelena [56]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Option C. 26\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Triangles ADE and ABC are similar by AA similarity postulate

AB=2AD

Apply proportion

\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{8x-6}{12x+4}\\ \\\frac{AD}{2AD}=\frac{8x-6}{12x+4}\\ \\\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8x-6}{12x+4}\\ \\12x+4=16x-12\\ \\16x-12x=4+12\\ \\4x=16\\ \\x=4\ units

Find the length of segment DE

DE=8x-6=8(4)-6=26\ units

Tangent line i think please help me find x
Alex

Answer:

x= 6.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

When a tangent line touches the circle, it forms a right angle triangle at that point

Apply the Pythagorean relationship in this case

Given that the height is = 20.2 cm = b

The hypotenuse is = c= x+14.7 cm

General formulae is;

a² +b² =c²

x² + 20.2² =( x+ 14.7)²

x² + 408.04= x² +14.7x+14.7x+216.09

x² + 408.04= x² + 29.4 x +216.09.........................collect like terms

x²-x² + 408.04-216.09= 29.4x

191.95= 29.4x-------------------------------divide by 29.4 t0 get x

191.95/29.4 =x

x=6.5 cm

A jellyfish travels 3/5 mile in 1/6 hour and a walrus travels 5/6 mile in 3/10 hour.
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The jellyfish travels faster than the walrus

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

A jellyfish travels 3/5 mile in 1/6 hour

Distance= 3/5 mile

time= 1/6 hour

speed= distance/time

speed= 3/5/1/6

speed= 3/5*6/1

speed= 18 mile per hour

a walrus travels 5/6 mile in 3/10 hour.

Distance= 5/6 mile

time= 3/10 hour.

speed= distance/time

speed= 5/6/3/10

speed= 5/6*10/3

speed= 50/18 mile per hour
