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

Why is easier to subtract when numbers are written above and bellow each other?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Brainly User

In my opinion, no. Others may think that when you subtract this way, it is much easier. My way to subtract numbers is below:-


Example: 17 - 11


Take the numbers that seem easy to add.


10 - 10 = 0

7 - 1 = 6

6+0 = 6


Now, we know that 17 - 11 = 6


We could have done it this way:-


  17

-  11

----------

 0 6

The distribution of number of hours worked by volunteers last year at a large hospital is approximately normal with mean 80 and
wariber [46]

Answer:

E 0.923

Step-by-step explanation:

The Z score is a measurement used in statistics to determine the relationship between a value and a mean of a group of values measured as standard deviation from the mean. The z score (z) is given as:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}, Where μ is the mean, σ is the standard deviation and x is the value.

Given that:

σ = 7, μ = 80 and x = 90  

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{90-80}{7} =1.43

From the normal distribution table, P(X < 90) = P(z < 1.43) = 0.923
