Read the proof. Given: AB ∥ DE Prove: △ACB ~ △DCE We are given AB ∥ DE. Because the lines are parallel and segment CB crosses bo

th lines, we can consider segment CB a transversal of the parallel lines. Angles CED and CBA are corresponding angles of transversal CB and are therefore congruent, so ∠CED ≅ ∠CBA. We can state ∠C ≅ ∠C using the reflexive property. Therefore, △ACB ~ △DCE by the AA similarity theorem. SSS similarity theorem. AAS similarity theorem. ASA similarity theorem.

Answer:

(A) AA similarity

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: AB is parallel to DE.

To prove: △ACB is similar to △DCE.

Proof: It is given that AB is parallel to DE, thus because the lines are parallel and segment CB crosses both lines, we can consider segment CB a transversal of the parallel lines.

Now, from △ACB and △DCE, we have

∠CED≅∠CBA (corresponding angles of transversal CB and are therefore congruent)

and ∠C ≅ ∠C (Reflexive property)

Thus, by AA similarity postulate,

△ACB is similar to △DCE

Hence proved.

Thus, option A is correct.

Mrs. Simpson is frosting circular sugar cookies. Each cookie is 7 cm in diameter. How many square inches will she need to frost
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

51.92 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle = (pi)(r^2)

if the diameter is 7, the radius is 3.5

A = 3.14 x 3.5

A = 10.99 cm^2 for one cookie

10.99 x 12 for a dozen = 131.88 cm^2

converting cm to inches, you divide by 2.54

131.88/2.54 = 51.92 square inches.

What is the sample space for a 5 sided number cube?
grigory [225]

Answer:

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space is the set of all possible outcomes. Supposing that the 5 sided number cube has numbers one to five on its sides, the possible outcomes are the numbers that can be rolled, then its sample space is: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
