6 0

Answer:

196

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the largest share was 56 and the largest ratio is 14, then

56 ÷ 14 = 4 ← value of 1 part of the share, thus

8 parts = 8 × 4 = 32

6 parts = 6 × 4 = 24

9 parts = 9 × 4 = 36

14 parts = 14 × 4 = 56

12 parts = 12 × 4 = 48

Total the amounts

total = 32 + 24 + 36 + 56 + 48 = 196

In ABC, side BC is extended to point E. When connected to vertex A, segment EA is parallel to segment BD. In this construction,
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Two triangles are said to be <u>congruent</u> if they have <em>similar</em> properties. Thus the required <u>options</u> to complete the <em>paragraph proof</em> are:

a. angle 1 is <u>congruent</u> to angle 2.

b. <em>alternate</em> angles are <u>congruent</u> if two parallel lines are cut by a <em>transversal</em>.

c. \frac{AD}{CD} = \frac{AB}{CB}

The <em>similarity property</em> of two or more shapes implies that the <u>shapes</u> are congruent. Thus they have the <em>same</em> properties.

From the given <u>diagram</u> in the question, it can be deduced that

ΔABC ≅ ΔABE (<em>substitution</em> property of equality)

Given that EA is <u>parallel</u> to BD, then:

i. <2 ≅ <3 (<em>corresponding</em> angle property)

ii. <1 ≅ < 4 (<em>alternate</em> angle property)

Thus, the required options to complete the <em>paragraph proof</em> are:

  • Angle 1 is <em>congruent</em> to angle 2.
  • Alternate angles are <u>congruent</u> if two parallel lines are cut by a <em>transversal</em>.
  • \frac{AD}{CD} = \frac{AB}{CB}
