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

5 1⁄5 decimeters = centimeters

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{5\dfrac{1}{5}\ decimeters=52\ centimeters}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$1\ dm=10\ cm\qquad\text{(1 decimeters = 10 centimeters)}\\\\\text{Therefore}\\\\5\dfrac{1}{5}\ dm=\dfrac{5\cdot5+1}{5}\ dm=\dfrac{26}{5}\ dm=\dfrac{26}{5}\cdot10\ cm=\dfrac{260}{5}\ cm=52\ cm$

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (4, 4) and (8, 1)?

geniusboy [140]

Answer: y = -3/4x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

first find slope:

y2-y1 / x2 - x1

1-4 / 8-4

-3/4

now just plug the slope (m) into the equation of a line using one of the points to find the y intercept

ill use (8,1)

1 = (-3/4)(8) + b

now solve :)

1 = -6 + b

7 = b

so now plug in the slope and the y intercept into the slope intercept form to find the equation of the line

y = -3/4x + 7

Pls help I’ll make brainlest and give extra points

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

p>-3 open circle going to the right

$m\leq -4$ closed circle going to the left

n<5 open circle going to the left

$h\geq 2$ closed circle going to the right

1>x open circle going to the left

-1=d just a closed circle

Step-by-step explanation:

Before I answer these here are some good notes

If the inequality sign is < or > then the circle is going to be open

If the inequality sign is $\leq or\geq$ then the circle is going to be closed

If the inequality sign is facing the variable (ex: x>3) then the line is going to be going to the right

If the inequality sign is facing the constant (ex: x<3) then the line is going to be going to the left

p>-3 open circle going to the right

$m\leq -4$ closed circle going to the left

n<5 open circle going to the left

$h\geq 2$ closed circle going to the right

1>x open circle going to the left

-1=d just a closed circle
