damaskus [11]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since DE is parallel to AB, it means that Triangle CDE is similar to triangle CAB. This means that the ratio of the length of each side of ∆CDE to the length of the corresponding side of ∆CAB is constant. Therefore,

AB/DE = DC/CA

Therefore,

DE/40 = 15/24

Cross multiplying, it becomes

24DE = 40 × 15

24DE = 600

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 24, it becomes

24DE/24 = 600/24

DE = 25

The relationship between triangle CDE and triangle CAB is similar triangles. This is because CD is parallel to AB as given.

Two states of matter are described below. State A: Changes shape and volume State B: Changes shape but not volume Which combinat
Mrac [35]

Answer:

State A = oxygen; State B = juice

Option 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

State A: Changes shape and volume

State B: Changes shape but not volume

Multiple Choice options:

State A = juice; State B = block of wood

State A = hydrogen; State B = block of wood

State A = oxygen; State B = juice

State A = air; State B = neon

The three states of matter are

Solid - Does not change shape or volume (like ice)

Liquid - Changes shape but not volume (like water)

Gas - Changes shape and volume (like water vapour in air)

State A must be a gas.

State B must be a liquid.

Eliminate the choice where state A is not a gas.

XState A = juice; State B = block of wood

    Juice is a liquid, like water.

State A = hydrogen; State B = block of wood

State A = oxygen; State B = juice

State A = air; State B = neon

Find the choice where state B is a liquid.

State A = hydrogen; State B = block of wood

Correct State A = oxygen; State B = juice

State A = air; State B = neon

Incorrect State B:

Block of wood - solid

Neon - gas

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

∠ 2 = 26°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since EP is an angle bisector then ∠ 1 = ∠ 2

∠ 2 = \frac{1}{2} ∠ GEF = \frac{1}{2} × 52° = 26°
