We are given that:

ABC ~ EDC

So equating ratio of equal sides:

\frac{BC}{CD} = \frac{AC}{CE}

\frac{20-x}{x} = \frac{21}{7}

20-x =3x

20 =3x+x

20 =4x

dividing both sides by 4,

x=5

Answer is length of CD is x which is 5. Option C

Answer:

C. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two triangles are similar, then its sides are proportional. In consequence the following relation must be satisfied:

BC/AC =  CD/CE

Replacing with the given values and solving for x, we get

(20 - x)/21 = x/7

(20 - x) = 21*x/7

20 - x = 3*x

20 = 3*x + x

20 = 4*x

20/4 = x

5 = x

The accompanying diagram show a cross-section of a rectangular pyramid. The cross sectional area is 36in and is 3 inches from th
LiRa [457]

The area of the rectangular base is the amount of space on the rectangular base

The area of the rectangular base is 60 square inches

<h3>How to determine the area of the rectangular base?</h3>

The question is incomplete; as the diagram is not given.

So, I will apply the concept of similar shapes to determine the area of the rectangular base

To determine the area of the rectangular base, we make use of the following equivalent ratio:

Ratio = Height : Area

This gives

3 : 36 = 5 : Area

Express as fraction

36/3 = Area/5

Evaluate the quotient

12 = Area/5

Multiply both sides by 5

Area = 60

Hence, the area of the rectangular base is 60 square inches

Which set of measurements could be the side lengths of a triangle?
Artist 52 [7]
We know that
Triangle Inequality Theorem establishes that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle<span> is greater than the length of the third side
</span>so
case <span>A. 5M, 11M, 7M
5+11 > 7----> ok
11+7 > 5 ---> ok
5+7 > 11----> ok

case </span><span>B.10 m, 4 m, 5 m
5+4 > 10-----> is not ok

case </span><span>C.8 m, 4 m, 4 m
4+4 > 8----> is not ok

case </span><span>D.6 m,11 m, 5 m
6+5 > 11-----> is not ok

the answer is
</span><span>A. 5M, 11M, 7M</span>

Find the area of the shape below.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

 A_{shape}=A_{triangle}+A_{square}\\\\A_{shape}=(\frac{bh}{2}+s^2)\ units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that it is a composed figure formed by a triangle and a square.Since you did not  give the dimensions of the triangle and the dimensions of the square, I will giveyou  a general explanation about how to solve this exercise.

The area of the shape will be the sum of the the area of the square and the area of the triangle.

Then, you need to remember that the area of a triangle can be calculated with the following formula:

A_{triangle}=\frac{bh}{2}

Where "b" is the base and "h" is the height.

And the area of a square can be found with this formula:

A_{square}=s^2

Where "s" is the length of any side of the square.

Therefore, the area of the shape will be

 A_{shape}=A_{triangle}+A_{square}\\\\A_{shape}=(\frac{bh}{2}+s^2)\ units^2
