If CDE ~ GDF, find ED

Mathematics
1 answer:
qaws [65]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

\triangle CDE \sim \triangle GDF.. (given) \\\\\therefore \frac{CD}{GD} =\frac{DE}{DF}.. (csst) \\\\\therefore  \frac{15}{x+3} =\frac{3x+1}{4}\\\\ \therefore   \: 15 \times 4 = (x + 3)(3x + 1) \\  \\ \therefore   \: 60 = 3 {x}^{2}  + x + 9x + 3 \\  \\ \therefore  3 {x}^{2}  + 10x + 3 - 60 = 0 \\ \therefore  3 {x}^{2}  + 10x  - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore  3 {x}^{2}  + 19x - 9x  - 57 = 0 \\ \therefore   \: x(3x + 19) - 3(3x + 19) = 0 \\\therefore   \:  (3x + 19)(x - 3) = 0 \\ \therefore   \: 3x + 19 = 0 \:  \: or \:  \: x - 3 = 0 \\  \therefore   \: x =  -  \frac{19}{3}  \:  \: or \:  \: x = 3 \\  \because \: x \: can \: not \: be \:  - ve \\ \therefore   \: x = 3 \\ ED = 3x + 1 = 3 \times 3 + 1  \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ ED= 10}}

Which Triangles are congruent by ASA
PolarNik [594]
Triangles congruent by ASA have two pairs of congruent sides and an included congruent angle.

The graph indicates that sides TV, HG, and AB are congruent, and that sides TU, FG, and BC are congruent. It also indicates that angles U, F, and C are congruent, and that angles G and B are congruent. Notice that angle U of  triangle TUV is not an included angle; this eliminates triangle TUV as it can't be congruent to another triangle by ASA with the information provided.

That leaves triangles FGH and ABC. Evidently, angles G and B are included angles, so these triangles are congruent by ASA.

Answer:
b. ΔHGF and ΔABC

You are running a fuel economy study. One of the cars you find is blue. It can travel 41 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gasoline. Another ca
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to study the fuel consumption of each car, i.e the amount of mile per gallon the cars will consume

Step one:

given data:

First car

distance covered= 41 1/2 = 41.5miles

amount of gallons= 1 1/4= 1.25gal

the miles per gallons= 41.5/1.25=33.2 miles per gallon

Second car

distance covered= 21 3/5= 21.6miles

amount of gallons=4/5=  0.8gal

the miles per gallons= 21.6/0.8=27 miles per gallon

1. Therefore the unit rate of

the first car = 33.2 miles per gallon

the second car=27 miles per gallon

2. the first car can travel a greater distance on 1 gallon of gasoline
