Answer:

  AE = 15 cm; ED = 18 cm; AD = 15 cm (given)

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔBEC ~ ΔAED so ...

   AD/BC = AE/BE = (BE+AB)/BE = 1 + AB/BE

Substituting given numbers (lengths in centimeters), we have ...

  15/10 = 1 + 5/BE

  1/2 = 5/BE

  BE = 10

Similarly, ...

  1/2 = 6/CE

  CE = 12

Then the unknown sides are ...

  AE = AB + BE = 5 + 10 = 15 . . . cm

  ED = CE + CD = 12 + 6 = 18 . . . cm

Need help plz!!!!? Help would be appreciated
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

118•

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior side lengths are:

90

180-34

180-x

180-x

The sum of these are 360º

90 + 180-34 + 180-x + 180-x = 360

-2x = -236

x = 118º

Can someone please help :(

Yes but to understand the answer, we need to dig into the mechanics of correlation. Correlation is a mathematical relationship between the change in two variables. For causation to occur without correlation, we must therefore lack that mathematical relationship.

What types of solutions will a quadratic equation have when the discriminant b2 − 4ac in the quadratic formula is a perfect squa
netineya [11]

<em>The discriminant must be zero.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

A Perfect-Square Trinomial is given by the form:

(\alpha x \pm \beta)^2=(\alpha^2x^2 \pm 2\alpha x \beta + \beta^2)

The discriminant in the quadratic formula is:

\Delta=b^2-4ac \\ \\ \\ Here: \\ \\ a= \alpha^2 \\ \\ b=2\alpha \beta \\ \\ c=\beta^2 \\ \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \Delta=(2\alpha \beta )^2-4(\alpha^2)(\beta^2) \\ \\ \Delta=4\alpha^2 \beta^2-4\alpha^2 \beta^2=0

So in order to get a perfect square,<em> the discriminant must be zero.</em>
