Answer:

BE = 72 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{BE}{CD}$ (BPT Theorem)

$\frac{20}{5} = \frac{BE}{18} \\$

⇒ 4 = $\frac{BE}{18}$

⇒BE = 18 × 4

∴ BE = 72 cm

Answer:

x=2.65

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to figure out how much the length of the sides is changing between the equations. In this case it is changing by a factor of 2.5. Now we need to work backwards. First use this equation:

$4x-5*2.5=14$

This is because whatever the length of the side with x is, will be 14/2.5. So divide both sides by 2.5:

$4x-5=5.6$

Next, add 5 to both sides:

$4x=10.6$

Then divide both sides by 4:

$x=2.65$

PLEASE HELP! 10 POINTS!

A quotient means division, so you can get rid of the third and fourth choices. It says "opposite" so that means negative. The answer is the second choice: $\frac{(-x)^{2} }{3}$
