Since BE and CD are parallel, triangles ABE and ACD are similar, meaning their side lengths are proportional.

AC = AB + BC = 1 + 3.5 = 4.5

The proportion of AB to AC (corresponding sides of two similar triangles) is 1 / 4.5

Let x be the variable that represents the unknown length of AE

The proportion of AE to AD (another set of corresponding sides of two similar triangles) is x / 18

Since the triangles are similar, these two proportions must be equal.

1 / 4.5 = x / 18

Cross multiply

4.5x = 18

Divide both side by 4.5

x = 4

The length of AE is 4, no need to round since the answer is already a whole number.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Answer:

4.0

Step-by-step explanation:

AB / AC = AE / AD

1 / 4.5 = AE / 18

4.5 AE = 18

AE = 4.0

a store is selling 61/2 ounce bags of flour. The recipe for cupcakes calls for 1/3 ounce of flour. How many whole cupcakes can u
DIA [1.3K]
I must assume that you meant "6  1/2" and not "61 / 2."

If each cupcase requires 1/3 ounce of flour, then the total whole cupcakes that can be made using the entire 6 1/2 oz. bag is


6 1/2 oz                     13 oz      1 cupcake
----------------------- = ---------- * ---------------- = 39 cupcakes (answer)
 1/3 oz / cupcake         2             (1/3 oz)

6 A U 3 3 1 2 3 What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form? The equation of the line is​
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

y = -\frac{5}{4} x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line by using two points on the graph. We can see that (0,5) and (4,0) are clearly marked on the line, so let's use those points.  Use the slope formula m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} and substitute the x and y values of those points into it, then simplify:

m =\frac{0-5}{4-0} \\m = \frac{-5}{4}

So, the slope is -\frac{5}{4}.

2) Now, identify the y-intercept on the graph. The y-intercept is the point at which the line intersects the y-axis. By reading the graph, we can see that the line intersects the y-axis at (0,5), so that must be the y-intercept.

3) Substitute values for m and b in the slope-intercept formula, y = mx + b, to write the equation of the line. Since m represents the slope, substitute -\frac{5}{4} for it. Since b represents the y-intercept, substitute 5 in its place. This gives the following answer and equation in slope-intercept form:

y = -\frac{5}{4} x+5
