<u>Given</u>:

Given that the triangle CDE is a right triangle.

The measure of ∠E is 90° and the measure of ∠C is 16° and the length of EC is 65 feet.

We need to determine the length of DE.

<u>Length of DE:</u>

The length of DE can be determined using the trigonometric ratio.

Thus, we have;

tan \ \theta=\frac{opp}{adj}

where the angle is 16° and the side opposite to the angle is DE and the side adjacent to the angle is EC.

Substituting the sides, we get;

tan \ 16^{\circ}=\frac{DE}{EC}

Substituting DE = 65, we have;

tan \ 16^{\circ}=\frac{DE}{65}

Multiplying both sides by 65, we have;

tan \ 16^{\circ} \times 65=DE

 0.2867 \times 65=DE

             18.6=DE

Thus, the length of DE is 18.6 feet.

I REALLY NEED HELP, ILL MEDAL!!!!
lara31 [8.8K]
Well, first of all, the first statement  (ABC = ADC) looks like it just says
that the two halves of the little square ... each side of the diagonal ...
are congruent.  That's no big deal, and it's no help in answering the
question.

The effect of the dilation is that all the DIMENSIONS of the square
are doubled ... each side of the square becomes twice as long.

Then, when you multiply (length x width) to get the area, you'd have

           Area = (2 x original length) x (2 x original width)

and that's
the same as      (2 x 2) x (original length x original width)

                        =     (4)  x  (original area) .


Here's an easy, useful factoid to memorize:

-- Dilate a line (1 dimension) by 'x' times . . . multiply the length by  x¹

-- Dilate a shape (2 dimensions) by 'x' . . . multiply area by  x²

-- Dilate a solid (3 dimensions) by 'x' . . . multiply volume by  x³

And that's all the dimensions we have in our world.
_______________________________

Oh, BTW . . .

-- Dilate a point (0 dimensions) by 'x' . . . multiply it by  x⁰  (1)

Kristen can lift 133% of what Jane can lift. How many times more is that?
lubasha [3.4K]

The weight Kristen can lift is 1.3 times more than Jane's

<h3>How to determine the number of times?</h3>

The given paramater can be represented using the following equation

Kristen = 133% * Jane

Express the percentage as decimal

Kristen = 1.33 * Jane

Hence, the weight Kristen can lift is 1.3 times more than Jane's
