∠BDC and ∠AED are right angles, is a piece of additional information is appropriate to prove △ CEA ~ △ CDB
Triangle AEC is shown. Line segment B, D is drawn near point C to form triangle BDC.
Similar triangles, are those triangles which have similar properties,i.e. angles and proportionality of sides.
Image is attached below,
as shown in figure
∡ACE = ∡BCD ( common angle )
∡AED = ∡BDC ( since AE and BD are perpendicular to same line EC and make right angles as E and C)
∡EAC =- ∡DBC ( corresponding angles because AE and BD are parallel lines)
Thus, △CEA ~ △CDB , because of the two perpendiculars AE and BD.

is the linear equation to find the temperature T at an elevation x on the mountain, where x is in thousands of feet.
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
The linear equation in slope intercept form is given as:
T = cx + k ------ (i)
Where "t" is the temperature at an elevation x
And x is in thousands of feet
<em><u>Given that its 76 degrees fahrenheit at the 6000-foot level of a mountain</u></em>
Given, when c = 6 thousand ft and fahrenheit
This implies,
From (i)
76 = c(6) + k
76 = 6c + k
⇒ k = 76 - 6c ----- (ii)
<em><u>Given that 49 degrees Fahrenheit at the 12000-foot level of the mountain</u></em>
Given, when c = 12 thousand ft and fahrenheit
This implies,
From (i)
49 = c(12) + k
49 = 12c + k
Substitute (ii) in above equation
49 = 12c + (76 - 6c)
49 = 12c + 76 - 6c
49 - 76 = 6c
6c = -27
Substituting the value of c in (ii) we get
Substituting the value of c and k in (i)
Where "x" is in thousands of feet
Thus the required linear equation is found
