Your line 4 should have "angle DEC" not "angle EDC". The order of the letters is important. I marked the two angles ABC and DEC in the attached image below. They are alternate interior angles. Because DE || AB, this means the alternate interior angles are congruent.

Since C is the midpoint of EB, this means BC = CE by the definition of the midpoint. Basically EB is cut into two halfs BC and CE which are the same length.

After you establish all of what is mentioned previously, you would use the AAS congruence theorem. AAS stands for Angle Angle Side. One pair of angles are the vertical angles (see line 2). Another pair of congruent angles is the alternate interior angles (line 4). The sides are not between the pairs of angles mentioned. Again check out the attached image for more visual information.

Finally, if we know the triangles are congruent, then the corresponding parts are congruent (CPCTC). That leads to the conclusion that DC = AC.

Edit: it's actually ASA and not AAS because the sides are between the two angles (I was thinking of another diagram earlier)

Consider the sequence of steps to solve the equation: 3(x − 4) + 5x = 9x − 36 Given ⇒ 3(x − 4) + 5x = 9x − 36 Step 1 ⇒ 3x − 12 +
7nadin3 [17]

In Step 6, the equation is ...

  -12 = x - 36

In step 7, the equation is ...

  -12 +36 = x -36 +36

Clearly, to get to step 7, 36 has been added to both sides of the equation.

Adding 36 to both sides of the equation is justified by ...

... C) Addition Property of Equality

_____

<em>More about the addition property of equality</em>

The addition property of equality says you can add the same value to both sides of an equation without changing the values of the variables that make the equation true. Here, x=24 makes the equation of step 6 true, and x=24 makes the equation of step 7 true.

What is the appoximate distance between T and U? round your answer to the nearest hundreth
tresset_1 [31]
Answer: 3.16


The first point, T = (x1,y1), and the second point, U = (x2,y2). Can be approximated as 3.16,so the distance between the two points is 3.16 units.

• Trey attended a New Year's Eve event and watched a ball drop at midnight. Prior
jekas [21]

Answer:

x=60.9°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the height of ball from the ground is 150ft

The base of the pole with the ball is 80 ft from where Trey is standing

Trey's horizontal line of sight is 6 feet above ground, then;

The height of ball from Trey's horizontal line of sight is;

150ft-6ft = 144ft

To find the angle x, assume a triangle with a base of 80 ft , a height of 144 ft and a slant height that represent the line of sight at an angle x

To get angle x , you apply the tangent of an angle formula where;

tan Ф°= length of opposite site of the angle/length of the adjacent side of the angle

tan x°= 144/80

tan x°=  1.8

x°= tan⁻(1.8)

x°=60.9°
