Answer:

Dan is 29. Cary is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Dan's age now be D.

Let Cary's age now be C.

"Cary is 7 years older than Dan."

C = D + 7

"In 7 years the sum of their ages will be 79. "

In 7 years, the ages of Dan and Cary will be D + 7 and C + 7, respectively.

D + 7 + C + 7 = 79

C + D + 14 = 79

C + D = 65

C = D + 7

The last two equations in bold above form a system of equations. Since the second equation is already solved for C, we use the substitution method.

D + 7 + D = 65

2D + 7 = 65

2D = 58

D = 29

C = D + 7

C = 29 + 7

C = 36

Answer: Dan is 29. Cary is 36.

use the guide to construct a two column proof proving △aec≅△deb, given that ca is parallel to db and e is the midpoint of ad. gi
MrMuchimi

By using the AAA congruence property of Triangles, △aec≅△deb is proved

It is given two triangles, Δaec and Δdeb, where e is the common point known as the midpoint of ad

Also, it is given that,

ca ║db

We need to prove that, △aec≅△deb

Then we'll use AAA congruence property of Triangles to prove the situation

As ca ║db

then, ∠cae = ∠ebd  (Alternate angles)

∠ace = ∠edb (Alternate angles)

and ∠aec = ∠deb (common angles)

Thus, by AAA congruence property, △aec≅△deb

Hence, proved

What is the surface area of this shape(step by step if possible)
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

((8 x 10) x 3) + ((9 x 8)/2) x2 = (80 x 3) + (72/2) x 2
                                             = 240 + (36 x 2)
                                             = 240 + 72
                                             = 312
