Answer:
The length of DE is 14 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in triangle ABC segment DE is parallel to the side AC . (The endpoints of segment DE lie on the sides AB and BC respectively). we have to find the length of DE.
Given lengths are AC=20cm, AB=17cm, and BD=11.9cm
In ΔBDE and ΔBAC
∠BDE=∠BAC (∵Corresponding angles)
∠BED=∠BCA (∵Corresponding angles)
By AA similarity rule, ΔBDE~ΔBAC
∴their corresponding sides are in proportion

Answer:
a. Parallel
b. Not parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
Systems which have no solutions are parallel lines. These lines do not intersect and therefore have no solution. Remember, parallel lines have the same slope. Compare the slope in each equation when in y=mx+b format to see if they are parallel.
a. y= 2x + 3 y-2x=-3 becomes y = 2x - 3
m = 2 m= 2
The slopes are the same so these are parallel lines.
b. 3x + y = 2 becomes y= -3x + 2 y = 1/3 x + 1/2
m = -3 m= 1/3
The slopes are different so this is not parallel.
Since -3 and 1/3 are the negative reciprocals of each other. These lines are actually perpendicular.
No, because it has a measure under 90 degrees
Answer:
x = 500 yd
y = 250 yd
A(max) = 125000 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let´s call x the side parallel to the stream ( only one side to be fenced )
y the other side of the rectangular area
Then the perimeter of the rectangle is p = 2*x + 2* y ( but only 1 x will be fenced)
p = x + 2*y
1000 = x + 2 * y ⇒ y = (1000 - x )/ 2
And A(r) = x * y
Are as fuction of x
A(x) = x * ( 1000 - x ) / 2
A(x) = 1000*x / 2 - x² / 2
A´(x) = 500 - 2*x/2
A´(x) = 0 500 - x = 0
x = 500 yd
To find out if this value will bring function A to a maximum value we get the second derivative
C´´(x) = -1 C´´(x) < 0 then efectevly we got a maximum at x = 500
The side y = ( 1000 - x ) / 2
y = 500/ 2
y = 250 yd
A(max) = 250 * 500
A(max) = 125000 yd²
