Answer:
Part A) The triangles ABC and EDC are similar by AAA, because the three internal angles are equal in both triangles
Part B) The width of the river is about 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent
Part A) we know that
In this problem , triangles ABC and CDE are similar by AAA, because its corresponding angles are congruent
so
m<DCE=m<ACB -----> by vertical angles
m<EDC=m<ABC -----> is a right angle
m<DEC=m<CAB -----> the sum of the internal angles must be equal to 180 degrees
Part B) we know that
The triangles ABC and EDC are similar -------> see Part A
therefore
substitute the values and solve for AB
Answer:
156° and 24°
Step-by-step explanation:
Let it's supplementary angle be x.
So, the angle = (x - 132)°
As we know, sum of supplementary angles is 180°;
x + x - 132 = 180
2x = 180 + 132
2x = 312
x = 312/2
x = 156°
(x-132)° = (156-132)° = 24°
Hence, the angles are 156° and 24°.
Answer:
30.4 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given the length of the ramp on the blueprint is 7.6 inches. The scale on the blueprint is 1 inch to 4 feet. We are asked to find the actual length of the ramp.
We will use proportions to solve our given problem as:
Now, we will substitute the scale length of ramp in our proportion as:
Therefore, the actual length of the ramp would be 30.4 feet.
Luckly i still have my notes and the answer was about 3.1%. I hope this helped.
