Vera_Pavlovna [14]3 years ago
6 0

ΔBED and Δ DEC are similar (AAA). Therefore we have the proportion:

\dfrac{a}{18}=\dfrac{4}{a}      <em>cross multiply</em>

a^2=(18)(4)\\\\a^2=72\to a=\sqrt{72}\\\\a=\sqrt{36\cdot2}\\\\a=\sqrt{36}\cdot\sqrt2\\\\\boxed{a=6\sqrt2}

Which of the following represents the difference between ten and a number is the sum of eight and a number"?
Alona [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (c)  10 -N = 8 +N

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between 10 and a number is (10 -N).

The sum of 8 and a number is (8 +N).

In this context, "is" means "equals," so we have ...

  10 -N = 8 +N

PLEASE HELP
xenn [34]

Answer:

perimeter is  4 sqrt(29) + 4pi  cm

area is 40 + 8pi cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a semicircle and a triangle

First the semicircle with diameter 8

A = 1/2 pi r^2 for a semicircle

r = d/2 = 8/2 =4

A = 1/2 pi ( 4)^2

  =1/2 pi *16

  = 8pi

Now the triangle with base 8 and height 10

A = 1/2 bh

  =1/2 8*10

  = 40

Add the areas together

A = 40 + 8pi cm^2

Now the perimeter

We have 1/2 of the circumference

1/2 C =1/2 pi *d

         = 1/2 pi 8

        = 4pi

Now we need to find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangles

using the pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

The base is 4 ( 1/2 of the diameter) and the height is 10

4^2 + 10 ^2 = c^2

16 + 100 = c^2

116 = c^2

sqrt(116) = c

2 sqrt(29) = c

Each hypotenuse is the same so we have

hypotenuse + hypotenuse + 1/2 circumference

2 sqrt(29) + 2 sqrt(29) + 4 pi

4 sqrt(29) + 4pi  cm
