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

81 servings. I found this by making a ratio:
24 c            108 c
-------     =    -------
18 ser            x
I then cross multiplied to get the equation: 24x=1,944. I solved this equation to find x, the number of servings in 108 cups, which was 81. 

I remember doing this back in elementary school. I had a hard time with it too!

An isosceles trapezoid has base angles of 45° and bases of lengths 8 and 14. The area of the trapezoid is
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Option A is correct.      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an isosceles trapezoid has base angles of 45° and bases of lengths 8 and 14. we have to find the area of isosceles trapezoid.

An isosceles trapezoid has base angles of 45° and bases of lengths 8 and 14.

From the figure attached , we can see an isosceles trapezoid ABCD,

AB = 8cm and CD=14cm

So we have to find the value of AE which is the height of Trapezoid in order to find area.

In ΔAED

tan\angle 45 =\frac{AE}{ED}

⇒ AE=1\times 3

∴ AE = DE =3cm

\text{The area of the trapezoid=}\frac{h}{2}\times (a+b)

h=3cm, a=14cm, b=8cm

Area=\frac{3}{2}\times(14+8)=\frac{3}{2}\times 22=33 units^2

hence, \text{The area of the trapezoid is }33 units^2

Option A is correct.
