B. AC/EA = AB/DA because theyre equal slopes just different sizes
DochEvi [55]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct option is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is

Slope=\frac{Rise}{Run}

Slope of line AB is

m_{AB}=\frac{BD}{DA}

Slope of line AC is

m_{AC}=\frac{CE}{EA}

Triangles ABD and ACE are similar right triangles, therefore the corresponding sides are proportional.

\frac{AB}{AC}=\frac{BD}{CE}=\frac{AD}{AE}

Using last two ratios, we get

\frac{BD}{CE}=\frac{AD}{AE}

The required ratio is

\frac{BD}{DA}=\frac{CE}{EA}

Therefore the correct option is d.

A liquid solution is slowly leaking from a container. The graph shows the milliliters of solution, y, remaining in the container
Burka [1]

Answer:

90 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for graph.

First, we need to determine the slope.

When y = 900, x = 0

When y = 600, x = 30

The slope is then calculated as:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (600 - 900)/(30 - 0)

m = -300/30

m = -10

Next, we determine the equation of the line using

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

So, we have:

y - 900 = -10(x - 0)

y - 900 = -10x

y = 900 - 10x

When the container is empty, y = 0.

So, we have:

0 = 900 - 10x

Collect Like Terms

10x = 900

Solve for x

x = 900/10

x = 90

A factory buys the box it needs in the form of flat nets what advantges might they have in doing this
konstantin123 [22]
Because they are using flat nets they may be able to get more boxes per area of cardboard purchased instead of purchasing the boxes and losing some extra cardboard from a cutting or gluing process. the flat nets may also be cheaper to ship or take less area than boxes shipped whole.

Max earned a 85% on his test. if there were 40 questions on the test how many did he get correct?
wel
Max would have had to have gotten 34 out of 40 questions correct. Here's why:

\frac{x}{40} =  \frac{85}{100} 

(40)(85) = (x)(100)



3400 = 100x

 \frac{3400}{100} = x


34 =x
