Prove the Triangle Proportinality Theorem

Mathematics
1 answer:
Xelga [282]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: DE║BC

To prove: \frac{\text{AD}}{\text{DB}}=\frac{\text{AE}}{\text{EC}}

                Statements                           Reasons

1). DE║BC                                   1). Given

2). ∠1 ≅ ∠4, ∠3 ≅ ∠4                2). Corresponding angles theorem

3). ΔADE ~ ΔABC                      3). AA Similarity theorem

4). \frac{\text{AB}}{\text{AD}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{AE}}                                4). Corresponding sides are proportional

5). \frac{\text{AD+DB}}{\text{AD}}=\frac{\text{AE+EC}}{AE}                   5). Segment addition postulate

6). 1+\frac{\text{DB}}{\text{AD}}=1+\frac{\text{EC}}{\text{AE}}                   6). \frac{a+b}{c}=\frac{a}{c}+\frac{b}{c}

7). \frac{\text{DB}}{\text{AD}}=\frac{\text{EC}}{\text{AE}}                                7). Subtract 1 from both sides

8). \frac{\text{AD}}{\text{DB}}=\frac{\text{AE}}{\text{EC}}                               8). Take the reciprocal of both sides

A boat is pulled into a dock by a rope attached to the bow of the boat and passing through a pulley on the dock that is 1 m high
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

dy/dt = 1.02 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let the distance of the dock above the bow of the boat be represented by x.

Also, let the distance of the boat from the dock be represented by y.

Let z represent the length of the rope.

Now, we can use pythagoras theorem to find a relationship between x, y and z since they form a right angle triangle where the vertical part is the dock, the base represents the water and the hypotenuse represents the rope.

Thus;

x² + y² = z²

Using implicit differentiation, we have;

2x(dx/dt) + 2y(dy/dt) = 2z(dz/dt)

We are given that the dock is 1 meter above the bow. Thus, x = 1

Also, the height is not changing and so dx/dt = 0

We are told the dock is 5 feet away from the boat. Thus, y = 5

dy/dt is is the speed we are looking for which is the rate at which the boat is approaching the dock.

We are not given the value of z but we can find it by using pythagoras theorem since we know the dock is 1 meter above the bow and the boat is 5 m away.

Thus;

z = √(1² + 5²)

z = √26

We are told the rope is being pulled in at the rate of 1 m/s. Thus; dz/dt = 1

Plugging all relevant values into the differentiation equation above gives;

2(1)(0) + 2(5)(dy/dt) = 2(√26)(1)

10(dy/dt) = 2√26

Divide both sides by 10 to get:

dy/dt = (√26)/5

dy/dt = 1.02 m/s

The area of the shaded region
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

27.74cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

area of circle: 3 times 3 times pi = 28.26cm^2

area of square: 8 times 7 = 56cm^2

subtract area of circle from square

56-28.26=27.74cm^2

Last year, Amy opened an investment account with $6800. At the end of the year, the amount in the account had increased by 23.5%
qaws [65]

Answer:

-The increase in dollars is $1598

-The amount in her account at the end of last year was $8398.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the increase, you have to multiply the initial amount for the percentage increase:

6800*23.5%=1598

Now, to find the amount in her account at the end of last year, you have to add the initial amount plus the increase in dollars:

6800+1598=8398

According to this, the amount in her account at the end of last year was $8398.
