Answer:

1) they are similar by AAA postulate

2) 9.6 cm

Explanation:

Triangles CAB and CED are similar

because:

1) both have the same angle C

(vertically opposite angles)

2) Angle A = Angle E

(alternate angles)

3) Angle B = Angle D

(alternate angles)

CA/CE = AB/ED

10/8 = 12/DE

DE = 12 × 8/10

DE = 9.6 cm

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle ACE = DCE since they are vertical angles

Angle A = Angle E parallel lines cut by a transversal form congruent alternate interior angles

Angle B = Angle D parallel lines cut by a transversal form congruent alternate interior angles

When all three angles are equal, the triangles are similar.

We can use ratios to find DE

DE         CE  

------- = ----------

AB           AC

DE         8

------- = ----------

12           10

Using cross products

10 DE = 8*12

10 DE = 96

Divide by 10

DE = 9.6

A basketball gymnasium is 25 meters high, 80 meters wide and 200 meters long. We want to connect two strings, one from each of t
Rudiy27

Answer:

a) the centre is at (12.5 m, 40 m , 100 m ) with respect to our position

b) the length of the strings S will be 216.85 m

c) the angle that is formed by the strings is  1.23 rad

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that we stand on one of the corners on the floor , so our coordinates are (0,0,0)  , then the coordinates of the center of the gymnasium   are found through

x center = (25 + 0)/2 = 12.5 m

y center = (80+ 0)/2 = 40 m

z center = (200+ 0)/2 = 100 m

then the centre is at (12.5 m, 40 m , 100 m ) with respect to our position

b) the length of the strings S will be the modulus of the vector that points from our position to the diagonally opposite corners

|S| = √(25²+80²+200²) = 216.85 m

c) the angle can be found through the dot product of the vectors that represent the strings S₁ and S₂

S₁ =(25,80,10)

S₂ =(-25,80,100)

then

S₁*S₂ = 25*(-25) +80*80 + 100*100 = 15775

but also

S₁*S₂ = |S₁||S₂| cos θ = |S|² * cos θ

S₁*S₂ =  |S|² * cos θ

cos θ= S₁*S₂/|S|²

θ= cos ⁻¹ ( S₁*S₂/|S|² ) = cos ⁻¹ [15775/(25²+80²+200²)] = 1.23 rad

Where are the minimum and maximum values for f(x) = -2 + 4 cos x on the interval (0,21]?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Maximum value is when cos x = 1

So it is -2 + 4(1) = 2.

Minimum value, when  cos x = -1:

= -2  + 4(-1) = -6.

There is a bag filled with 4 blue and 5 red marbles.
kkurt [141]

Answer:

  • 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 blue, 5 red and total of 9 marbles.

<u>If two marbles are taken and we are looking for exactly one red, then it is:</u>

  • red, then blue or blue, then red

<u>Find the probability of each case:</u>

  • P(r, b) = 5/9*4/8 = 5/18
  • P(b, r) = 4/9*5/8 = 5/18

<u>Probability of exactly one red:</u>

  • P = 5/18*2 = 5/9
