Answer:
Answer A
Step-by-step explanation:
We see that ABC is similar to DEF. Pay attention to the order of these letters. The order that they read (left-to-right) is the order that they are similar. For example, AB is similar to DE. Despite being different triangles, they are both the <em>first two </em>letters in the triangle. So, knowing this, we can conclude that answer choice A is correct.
Given that D is the mid point of CE ,
So D will bisect CE, it means the length of DE and CD is equal.
=> DE + CD = CE
As DE and CD are equal,
=> DE + DE = CE
=> 2 DE = CE
Putting values from the question,
=> 2( 7x - 1 ) = 10x + 18
=> 14x - 2 = 10x + 18
=> 14x - 10x = 18 + 2
=> 4x = 20
=> x = 20 / 4
=> x = 10 / 2
=> x = 5

Therefore, the value of x is 5
Answer:
3/4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract Jimmys string length from Sam's string length
7 1/2 - 6 3/4
Get a common denominator of 4
7 1/2*2/2 - 6 3/4
7 2/4 - 6 3/4
Borrow 1 ( or 4/4) from the 7
6 4/4 + 2/4 - 6 3/4
6 6/4 - 6 3/4
3/4
