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}

suppose 255,113 people live in a city is it reasonable to say that about 300,00 live in the city? use the number line to help yo
Misha Larkins [42]
<span>This is no a reasonable statement. While 255,113 is rounded to the nearest 100,000 (300,000), this does not really provide an accurate estimate because the value is 55,000 off. A more reasonable estimate would be 250,000 or 260,000 people living in the city.</span>
