since the triangles are similar

angle DEC = 60 degrees


3 angles inside a triangle equal 180 degrees

BAC = DCE = 64

CBA = EDC = 56

DEC = 180 -56 -64 = 60 degrees


used angle-angle theorem

Answer:

m\angle DEC=60^{o}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a diagram of two triangles, in which line AB is parallel to CD and BC is parallel to DE.

We can see that \angle DCE is corresponding to \angle BAC as both angles are formed on the same side of parallel lines AB and CD and transversal AE, therefore,m\angle BAC=m\angle DCE.

We can see that \angle EDC is corresponding to \angle CBA as both angles are formed on the same side of parallel lines BC and DE and transversal AE, therefore, m\angle CBA=m\angle EDC.

Upon Substituting our given angle measures we will get,

64^{o}=m\angle DCE    

56^{o}=m\angle EDC  

Since the sum of all the angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees, therefore, we can find measure of angle DEC by equating the sum of angles of our given triangle with 180.

m\angle EDC+m\angle DCE+m\angle DEC=180^{o}

56^{o}+64^{o}+m\angle DEC=180^{o}

120^{o}+m\angle DEC=180^{o}

m\angle DEC=180^{o}-120^{o}

m\angle DEC=60^{o}

Therefore, the measure of angle DEC is 60 degrees.

Answer:

a) An event with probability 0 is said to be impossible

b) An event with probability 1 is said to be certain

c) The probability of getting a head when flipping an unbiased coin is shown by the letter A

Step-by-step explanation:

a) If something has a 0 on a probability scale, it will never happen. The word used to describe this outcome is impossible.

b) If something has a 1 on a probability scale, it will always happen. The word used to describe this outcome is certain.

c) The probability of getting a head on an unbiased coin is \frac{1}{2} or 0.50. This means that we are looking for the letter that is in the exact center of 0 and 1. It can be seen that A is in the dead center of these two numbers, so this is our answer.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Option A ( -3/2 , \frac{-3\sqrt{3} }{2} )

Step-by-step explanation:

  • According to Question, The Spinner Rotate 600* Thus after Completing 360* it Comes Exactly Where It Started . Now again rotate It 180* .
  • Now We Are on ( -X axis ) & Completed 360*+180*=540* Rotation
  • Now After Rotate It 60* More we come in Third Quadrant & Here In Third Quadrant Only Tangent & Cotangent Is Positive .(Sine & Cosine is Negative)  

(For Diagram, Please Find in attachment)

Now In Triangle OAB

  • Cos60* = OA / OB

        1/2 = -X / 3 Thus X= -3/2

  • Sin60* = AB / OB

        \sqrt{3}/2 = -Y / 3 Thus Y = -\sqrt{3} * 3 /2

Use the least common denominator to write an equivalent fraction for each fraction. 5/6 and 2/9
olchik [2.2K]
5/6 and 2/9......least common denominator is 18
so 5/6 = 15/18 and 2/9 = 4/18

1/12 and 3/8...least common denominator is 24
so 1/12 = 2/24 and 3/8 = 9/24

5/9 and 2/15...least common denominator is 45
so 5/9 = 24/45 and 2/15 = 6/45
