The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal, it is obtained by Pythagoras theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given are,

           From ΔABC,

                    AB= 6

                    BC= 10

                    AC = x

           From ΔDEC,

                    CD= 28

                    DE= 21

                    CE = y

Step:1

        Pythagoras theorem from  ΔABC,

                    BC^{2}=AB^{2} + AC^{2}...............(1)

       Substitute the values,

                   10^{2} = 6^{2} + AC^{2}

                  100 = 36 + AC^{2}

                   AC^{2} = 100 - 36

                           = 64

                    AC = \sqrt{64}

                    AC = 8

                  AC = x = 8

Step:2

        Pythagoras theorem for ΔDEC,

               CE^{2} = CD^{2}  + DE^{2}................(2)

       From the values,

              CE^{2} = 28^{2} + 21^{2}

             CE^{2} = 784 + 441

                     = 1225

              CE = \sqrt{1225}

              CE = 35

             CE = y = 35

Result:

         The values are x=8 and y=35, if the given ΔABC and ΔDEC are equal.

A rug is to be centered in a room so that the border around it is of a consistent width on all four sides. If the room is 10 ft
aleksley [76]

Answer:

The width of the border can be 9 feet or 3.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x

Length of room = 10 feet

Breadth of room = 15 feet

Length of rug = 10-2x

Breadth of rug = 15-2x

Area of rug = (10-2x)(15-2x)  

We are given that the area of the rug is 24 square feet.

So,  (10-2x)(15-2x)=24 ---A

150-20x-30x+4x^2=24

150-24-50x+4x^2=0

126-50x+4x^2=0

2(x-9)(2x-7)=0

x=9,\frac{7}{2}

x=9,3.5

Substitute x =9 in A

(10-2(9))(15-2(9))=24

24=24

LHS = RHS

Substitute x = 3.5

(10-2(3.5))(15-2(3.5))=24

24=24

LHS = RHS

So, The width of the border can be 9 feet or 3.5 feet.
