Answer:
a) ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC by AA similarity
b) ED/AB = 3/4
c) 15 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Two angles in each triangle are the same, so the AA similarity postulate can be used to declare the ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC. (Each triangle includes a right angle and angle C.)
__
b) Corresponding sides are ED/AB, DC/BC, EC/AC. The ratio of corresponding sides is ED/BC = (12 cm)/(16 cm) = 3/4.
__
c) Using the ratios identified above, we have ...
DC/BC = 3/4 = x/(20 cm)
x = 3/4(20 cm)
x = 15 cm
Answer:
(2)/(3) =( 4)/( 3+x)
Cross multiply
2*(3+x)= 4*3
Solve bracket
6+2x=12
Subtract 6 from both sides
2x=6
Divide both sides by 2
x=3

We can set up an equation to solve this problem. I am setting the number of marbles in a red jar to R.
R + R + R - 16 = 41
We solve this by adding 16 to both sides and combining all of the R terms.. This gives us:
3R = 57
We can finish this problem by dividing both sides by 3.
R = 19. So, there are 19 marbles in a red jar.
We can easily figure out how many marbles are in a blue jar by subtracting the total amount of marbles in 2 red jars from the total amount of marbles. I am setting the amount of marbles in a blue jar to B.
41 - 19*2 = B
B = 3
So, there are 3 marbles in a blue jar and 19 marbles in a red jar.
