Answer:
12.5 units

Explanation:
We are given that:
ΔABC ~ ΔDEC
This means that the similarity proportion can be set up as follows:
AB/DE = BC/EC / AC/DC

We have:
CD = 5 units
BC = 6 + 4 = 10 units
EC = 4 units

This means that:
BC/EC = AC/DC
10/4 = AC / 5

Therefore,
AC = (5*10) / (4) = 12.5 units

Hope this helps :)

A solid sphere is cut into 4 equal wedges the volume of each wedge is v=1/3r3 solve the volume for r

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

r = (3V/π)^1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Volume of a sphere = V = 4/3πr³

Dividing into 4

4/3 * 1/4 πr³ = 4/12πr³ = 1/3πr³

V = 1/3πr³

Cross multiply

3V = πr³

Divide both sides by π

3V/ π = πr³/ π

3V/ π = r³

Take the cube root of both sides

r = (3V/π)^1/3

26 is whats percent of 40?

faltersainse [42]

100%/x%=40/26
(100/x)*x=(40/26)*x - We multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.53846153846*x - We divide both sides of the equation by (1.53846153846) to get x
100/1.53846153846=x 
65=x 
x=65

Now we have: 
26 is 65% of 40

Good luck~ Sans
