Answer:

12 miles

Explanation:

Two triangles are similar if their two corresponding angles are congruent (equal) to each other.

if their two corresponding angles are of equal this also means that the third angle is also equal and corresponding.

ΔABC ∼ ΔEDC (two corresponding angles are congruent)

Therefore to find the sides, we use the following proportions:

\frac{AC}{AE}=\frac{BC}{BD}=\frac{DE}{AB}

BC = x miles, CD = 6 miles. Therefore BD = BC + CD = (6 + x) miles

DE = 8 miles, AB = 12 miles

Therefore:

\frac{BC}{BD}=\frac{DE}{AB}\\\frac{x}{x+6}=\frac{8}{12}\\48 + 8x = 12x\\ 12x-8x=48\\4x=48\\ x=48/4=12\\x=12miles

Which rights for citizens did the english bill of rights support? select three options.
TiliK225 [7]

The English Bill of Rights supported the following civil liberties for citizens:

  • Defense against harsh penalty
  • Possession of firearms
  • The option of a jury trial Justification:

These three points support citizens with fair treatment and provide insurance for a decent standard of living. The first protects citizens from all forms of torture and mistreatment, the second permits gun ownership with the appropriate restrictions for regular citizens, and the third offers citizens with legal assistance if they are subjected to a procedure that must uphold all general rights.

In order to enshrine the rights of American citizens, the bill of rights was drafted. Additionally, it was done to prevent the government from encroaching on citizens' freedoms.
