Answer:

  CD = 14 cm; DE = 21 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of side lengths (in centimeters), so ...

  CD + DE + CF + EF = 55

  CD + DE + 8 + 12 = 55 . . . . . . . substittute for CF and EF

  CD + DE = 35 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 20

___

The segment DF is a diagonal of the rhombus, so bisects angle D. That angle bisector divides ΔCDE into segments that are proportional. That is, ...

  CD/DE = CF/EF = 8/12 = 2/3

___

So, we have two segments whose sum is 35 (cm) and whose ratio is 2 : 3. The total of "ratio units is 2+3=5, so each must stand for a length unit of 35/5 = 7 (cm). The sides are ...

  CD = 2·7 cm = 14 cm

  DE = 3·7 cm = 21 cm

<em>Check</em>

  CD + DE = (14 +21) cm = 35 cm . . . . . matches requirements

Furkat [3]

Answer:

13,475

Step-by-step explanation:

First hour

350 people at $17.50 per ticket

350* $17.50 =$6125

Second hour

We add 20% more

350+350*.20 =350+70 =420

There were 420 people at $17.50

420*$17.50 =$7350

Add the total for the 2 hours

6125+7350=13,475
