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

Im pretty sure it's 17.5 since 35 is odd.

The manufacturer of hardness testing equipment uses steel-ball indenters to penetrate metal that is being tested. However, the

Answer:

Check the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denotes steel ball and Y denotes diamond

$\bar{x_1}$ = 1/9( 50+57+......+51+53)

=530/9

=58.89

$\bar{x_2}$ = 1/9( 52+ 56+....+ 51+ 56)

=543/9

=60.33

difference = d =(60.33- 58.89)

=1.44

$s^2=1/n\sum xi^2 - n/(n-1)\bar{x}^2$

s12 = 1/9( 502+572+......+512+532) -9/8 (58.89)2

=31686/8 - 9/8( 3468.03)

=3960.75 - 3901.53

=59.22

s1 = 7.69

s22 = 1/9( 522+ 562+....+ 512+ 562) -9/8 (60.33)2

=33295/8 - 9/8 (3640.11)

=4161.875 - 4095.12

=66.75

s2 =8.17

sample standard deviation for difference is

s= $\sqrt{[(n1-1)s_1^2+ (n2-1)s_2^2]/(n1+n2-2)}$

= $\sqrt{[(9-1)*59.22+ (9-1)*66.75]/(9+9-2)}$

= $\sqrt{1007.76/16}$

=7.93

sd = $s*\sqrt{(1/n1)+(1/n2)}$

= $7.93*\sqrt{(1/9)+(1/9)}$

=7.93* 0.47

=3.74

For 95% confidence level $Z (\alpha /2)$ =1.96

confidence interval is

$d\pm Z(\alpha /2)*s_d$

=(1.44 - 1.96* 3.75 , 1.44+1.96* 3.75)

=(1.44 - 7.35 , 1.44 + 7.35)

=(-2.31, 8.79)

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the two indenters produce different hardness readings.
