Answer:
CD = x = 4 units

Explanation:
We are given that the two triangles are similar. This means that we can set the similarity proportionality as follows:
$\frac{BC}{CD} = \frac{CA}{CE} = \frac{AB}{ED}$

W e have:
BC = 20 - x
AC = 20
CD = x
CE = 5

Substitute in the above proportionality and solve for x as follows:
$\frac{20-x}{x} = \frac{20}{5} = 4$

4x = 20 - x
5x = 20
x = 4

Based on he above:
CD = 4 units
BC = 20 - x = 20 - 4 = 16 units

Hope this helps :)

What is the value of 100?

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Means back the numbers into multiples of several small numbers

Like:; 1. We take LCM of 40

Just break into multiples of small number

40= 2×2×2×5

2. We take LCM of 50

50= 5×5×2

So LCM for 100 is 2×2×5×5

after that see the pairs in the LCM like 2×2 or 3×3 or 4×4(same numbers)

Then write the the single number in place of two multipled numbers

Like:; 2×2 is written as 2 // 3×3 is written as 3

So we can write 100 into 2×2×5×5 and then after selecting pairs (2×2)×(5×5)

write pairs in single number 2×5

And so we get 2×5=10

So we find root of 100 that is 10

Write a real-world problem that can be represented by a rule and a table using division

LuckyWell [14K]

A company makes different size square containers. How can you find the length of each side if you know the perimeter of each of the containers? Represent your answer in a table, and right and equation that shows the rule used. You would write the equation x/4=y. I would create an input/output table with the labels x and y. I would then write various lengths for the perimeters and use the rule of dividing by 4 to find the y values.

Look at this table:<br><br> Is this relation a function?

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

To be a function, each input (x value) must go to exactly one output (y value). In this instance, the input 5 has an output of -15 and 4. This breaks the rule. Therefore, this relation is not a function.

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

D. An outline for a paper

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a function like a template for numbers. You plug in numbers you know and you get a formula that is structured correctly. An outline is just like this because it is a structure for words.
