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

your village community group is putting a new fence around the park .you offer to help and measure the distance around the park
makkiz [27]

Explanation:

Perimeter of the park

= 337 m

= 33700 cm

Length of each fence panel

= 550 cm

Number of fence panel required

= Perimeter of the park/Length of each fence panel

= 33700 cm/550 cm

= 33700/550

= 3370/55

= 674/11

= 61 3/11

So, we will need 61 3/11 fence panels.

P.S. — 61 3/11 means 61 whole and 3/11. I have attached its picture, so that you understand.

a) If the price of a train ticket from New York to Washington DC rose by the rate of inflation between 1995 and 2016, how much w
Alla [95]

Answer:

$ 99.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking process:

According to financial data, the inflation rate in 1995 was at 2.5 %.

In 2016, the inflation rate was at 2.1 %

The difference was: 2.1 - 2.5 = -0.4 %

The price in 2016 = Original price - Adjusted price

Adjusted price     = 0.004* ($ 100) = $ 0.4

The new price will be $ 100 - $ 0.4\\= $ 99.60

The new price will be $ 99.60
