Given: △ABC, D∈ AB, E∈BC, F∈AC, DE∥AC, AD∥FE, AD=6, DE=5, AB=17. Find: AC

Mathematics
1 answer:
Oxana [17]3 years ago

Answer:

AC = 7.73

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ DE // AC

∴ m∠BDE = m∠BAC ⇒ corresponding angles

∴ m∠BED = m∠BCA ⇒ corresponding angles

∵ ∠B is common angle

∴ Δ BDE is similar to Δ BAC

∴ BD/BA = DE/AC = BE/EC

∵ AD = 6 and AB = 17

∴BD = 17 - 6 = 11

∵ DE = 5

∴ 11/17 = 5/AC

∴ AC = (5 × 17) ÷ 11 = 7.7272 ≅ 7.73

Two triangles are similar if and only if all corresponding angles are equal (congruence), even if the corresponding sides are equal or not, therefore the answer is true because ΔJKL and ΔRST are similar and the statement above demands that "it must be", namely, this is a sufficient condition.

During two years, the population of birds of an island became 7 times more than before. If the first year increase in the popula
9966 [12]

The percent increase of the second year was 85.71%

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential growth formula is y=a(1+r)^x

where;

y=population after x years

a=original population

r=growth rate as a decimal

x=number of time interval that have passed

Let starting population be p

The first year increase in the population was 40% this means;

r=0.4 , x=1 and a=p thus the equation will be

y=p(1+0.4)^1 ⇒⇒y=1.4 p

In the second year the population of birds of an island became 7 times more than before which is 7p

7p= 7*1.4p= 9.8p

Increase will be;

9.8p-1.4p=8.4

% increase will be;

8.4/9.8 *100 =85.71%
