Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a triangle ABC.  ED is parallel to AB cutting AB at D and BC at E.

The lines are parallel Hence corresponding angles are equal

Angle D = Angle B and Angle E = angle C

Hence in triangles ADE and ABC two angles are congruent.

This implies that ADE and ABC are congruent by AA congruence

Since two angles are congruent the triangles are similar.

Write four different expressions for the perimeter of a pentagon whose sides are all s-2 units long?
Masteriza [31]

Hey there!

1. 5(s-2) This is because s-2 is the length of each side, and there are 5 sides in a pentagon all of that length, so multiplying it by 5 like this shows its perimeter.

2. 5s-10 This can be found by distributing the first equation, multiplying both s and -2 by 5.

3. (s-2) + (s-2) + (s-2) + (s-2) + (s-2) Each grouping in the parenthesis represents each of the 5 sides, so adding them all together will get you the perimeter.

4. 5(s) + 5(-2) This one is most like the first one, except it's a little more spread out. Multiply the term s by the 5 sides in one grouping, and the integer -2 by 5 in the other.

Hope this helps!

Juan put three square tiles with sides 8 centimeters, 10 centimeters, and x centimeters together so that they form a right trian
Elan Coil [88]
Since the area of a square is equal to the square of one of its side's length, then the area should be equivalent to x^{2}.
A = x^{2} ---> equation (1)
By using pythagoras rule which states that the x^{2} = hyp^2 - opposite^2---> equation (2)
where the opposite side's length is 8 and the hypotenuse side's length is 10
by substituting by the values in equation (2) therefore,
x^{2} = 10^{2} - 8^{2} substitute this value in equation (1) then
A = x^{2} = 10^{2} -8^{2}
where A is the area of the square whose side is x

Find the nonpermissible replacement for a in
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

a ≠ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{a^2}{-3a+6}

The denominator of the rational function cannot be zero as this would make it undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that a cannot be, that is

- 3a + 6 = 0 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

- 3a = - 6 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

a = 2 ← excluded value
