Answer:

a) x=2\dfrac{2}{3}\ units\\ \\y=5\dfrac{1}{3}\ units

b) x=9\ units\\ \\y=5.4\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Q11 a) ABCD is a parallelogram, then AB=CD=12 units.

Consider triangles AED and BEF. In these triangles

\angle AED\cong \angle BEF by reflexive property;

\angle DAE\cong \angle FBE are corresponding angles formed when parallel lines BC and AD are intersected by transversal AE. By corresponding angles theorem, they are congruent.

By AA similarity theorem, \triangle AED\sim \triangle BEF. Similar triangles have proportional corresponding parts, so

\dfrac{AE}{BE}=\dfrac{AD}{BF}\\ \\\dfrac{12+6}{6}=\dfrac{8}{x}\\ \\18x=48\ [\text{Cross multoply}]\\ \\x=\dfrac{48}{18}=\dfrac{8}{3}=2\dfrac{2}{3}\ units

ABCD is a parallelogram, then BC=AD=8 units, so

y=8-2\dfrac{2}{3}=5\dfrac{1}{3}\ units.

Q11b) ABCD is a parallelogram, then AB=DC=16 units. By segment addition postulate,

FA+FB=AB\\ \\10+FB=16\\ \\FB=6\ units

Consider triangles EBF and ECD. In these triangles,

\angle BEF\cong \angle CED by reflexive property

\angle EBF\cong \angle ECD are corresponding angles formed when parallel lines AB and CD are intersected by transversal EC. By corresponding angles theorem, they are congruent.

So, \triangle FEB\sim \triangle DEC by AA similarity theorem. Similar triangles have proportional corresponding parts, so

\dfrac{EF}{ED}=\dfrac{FB}{DC}=\dfrac{EB}{EC}\\ \\\dfrac{x}{x+15}=\dfrac{6}{16}=\dfrac{y}{y+9}

From the first equality,

16x=6(x+15)\\ \\16x=6x+90\\ \\16x-6x=90\\ \\10x=90\\ \\x=9\ units

From the second equality:

6(y+9)=16y\\ \\6y+54=16y\\ \\54=16y-6y\\ \\10y=54\\ \\y=5.4\ units

Anybody knows what is -2(g - 3) = 2(g - 7)​
Veronika [31]

Answer:

g = 4.6

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(g - 3) = 2(g - 7)

-3g + 9 = 2g - 14

-3g = 2g - 23

-5g = -23

g = 4.6

What is the value of 7 – 18(-2 1/3+ 2/3)
Fofino [41]

Answer:

The answer is 37.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we use Pemdas. Add the parantheses first. So its 7-18(-5/3) then you multiple the -18 to 5/3 Because after Parantheses its Exponents multiplication. So it becomes 30. Then you add 7 to get 37. I hope this is helpful.
