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

Well x^2+10x-3 is a quadratic so we are looking for its lowest point (minimum). If you graph it the answer is (-5, -28) so A. You can do it algebraicallly (x+5)=0. X=-5 and look at -28 for y. Either way you get A as the local minimum/ lowest point of graph.

Evaluate the statistics expression:39C1
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
<h3>Answer:  39</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

You can use the nCr formula shown below

_n C _r = \frac{n!}{r!*(n-r)!}

where n = 39 and r = 1. However, you could also use the identity

_n C _{1} = n

which basically says there are n ways to pick 1 item if you are given a choice of n items. In this specific case, we have 39 items total, and there are 39 ways to pick one item.

Answer:

a = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

-6(2 + a) = -48

it is basically 2 steps

Divide by -6 first

(2 + a) = -48 / -6

2 + a = 8

minus the 2

a =6

What is the solution to the system of linear equations? y=4x and y-4x=0​
musickatia [10]

Answer:

  y = 4x; there are an infinite number of solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Both equations describe the same relation between x and y. The system is "dependent", so has an infinite number of solutions. For any value of x, the solution is ...

  (x, y) = (x, 4x)
