Answer:

a) 10x + 8 = 21

b) x = 1.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of symmetry is a vertical line that passes through point C.

That makes sides BC and CD congruent, and sides AB and ED congruent.

perimeter = AB + BC + CD + DE + EA

perimeter = 2x + 3 + x + 1 + x + 1 + 2x + 3 + 4x = 10x + 8

perimeter = 21

a) Equation:

10x + 8 = 21

10x = 13

x = 1.3

In the diagram abc=adb=90, ad=p and dc=q. Use similar triangles to show that x2=pz<br> plzz anyoneee

kramer

Answer:

By comparing the ratios of sides in similar triangles ΔABC and ΔADB,we can say that $x^{2} =pz$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ∠ABC=∠ADC, AD=p and DC=q.

Let us take compare Δ ABC and Δ ADB in the attached file , ∠A is common in both triangles

and given ∠ABC=∠ADB=90°

Hence using AA postulate, ΔABC ≈ ΔADB.

Now we will equate respective side ratios in both triangles.

$\frac{AB}{AC}= \frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{BD}{BC}$

Since we don't know BD , BC let us take first equality and plugin the variables given in respective sides.

$\frac{x}{z}= \frac{p}{x}$

Cross multiply

$x^{2}=pz$

Hence proved.

Answer:

24 birds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the number of birds at the shelter on Wednesday. Then the cost of care for the 41 animals is ...

5b +7.5(41 -b) = 247.50

-2.5b +307.50 = 247.50 . . . . . simplify

-2.5b = -60 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 307.50

b = 24 . . . . . . . . . divide by -2.5

The number of birds at the shelter on Wednesday was 24.
