Step-by-step explanation:
there are 2 similar triangles : ABE and DCE
that means they have the same angles, and the scaling factor from one triangle to the other is the same for every side.
and that means that
DE/AE = EC/BE (= DC/AB)
we know that
AE = AD + DE
BE = BC + EC
a.
so, we have actually
DE/(AD+DE) = EC/(BC+EC)
DE/(10+DE) = 8/(2+8) = 8/10 = 4/5
DE = 4(10+DE)/5
5DE = 4(10+DE) = 40 + 4DE
DE = 40 cm
b.
AD/DE = 3/5
BC/EC must be 3/5 too.
15/EC = 3/5
15 = 3EC/5
75 = 3EC
EC = 25 cm
Answer:
This is one of many possible answers.
(x -1)(x-2)(x-3)
Explanation:
The zeros are x = 1, x = 2, x = 3. This polynomial has a degree of 3.
If they are supplementary then 3x + 17x = 180
20x = 180
x = 9
m<GHI = 27 degrees
m < LMN = 153 degrees
Answer:
The combination 9 mm, 6mm, 5mm will not form a triangle.
9 +6 = 15 > 5
6+5= 11 < 9
9+5 =14 > 6
Explanation :
because the side length of triangle does not obey triangle inequality theorem.
The triangle inequality theorem:
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.
F ( x ) = ( 3 x + 6 ) ( 3 x - 6 ) / ( 3 x + 6 ) = 3 x - 6
and for domain : 3 x + 6 ≠ 0
3 x ≠ - 6
x ≠ - 2
