Answer:

DE = 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let DE = x cm.

Since DE is parallel to AB therefore by the alternate interior angles theorem, m∠BAD = m∠ADE and m∠ABE = m∠DEB ............(1)

As AD is an angle bisector of ∠A, therefore m∠EAD = m∠DAB ; Since BE is an angle bisector of ∠B ⇒ m∠ABE = m∠EBD.

Therefore, from (1) We get ,  m∠EAD = m∠ADE and m∠EBD = m∠BED.

So, the triangles ADE and EDB are then isosceles with AE = ED and ED = DB.

So AE = DE = DB = x, and since the perimeter of ABDE is 30 cm, then

12 + x + x + x = 30

⇒ 12 + 3x = 30

⇒ x = 6

Hence, the length of DE is 6 cm.

Answer:

DE=6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x=DE, since AB║DE, therefore ∠BAD=∠ADE and ∠ABE=∠BED.        (1)

Also, we are given that AD is the angle bisector of ∠A and BE is the angle bisector of ∠B,

Therefore, ∠EAD=∠DAB and ∠ABE=∠EBD                                             (2)

From (1) and (2), ∠EAD=∠ADE and ∠EBD=∠BED

⇒The ΔADE and ΔEDB then becomes the isosceles triangle with AE=Ed and ED=DB (Sides opposite to equal angles are always equal)

Therefore, AE=DE=DB=x

We are given that the perimeter of ABDE is 30 cm, therefore,

Perimeter of ABDE= sum of all the sides of ABDE

⇒30=AB+BD+DE+AE

⇒30=12+3x

⇒30-12=3x

⇒x=6cm

Therefore, the length of DE= 6cm

How to algebraically find the limit of a function as x approaches infinity?
Sauron [17]

Well... One way you can do this is by testing a set of arrays and see the trend. If I chose to find what y1 is in (100, y1) and what y2 is in (101, y2), I would find the difference between y2 and y1. If y2 - y1 is positive, this means there is a positive relationship and y is also approaching POSITIVE infinity. A negative relation means that it is approaching NEGATIVE infinity. However, it could be approaching a single number like "4" for instance, and you just need to plug in the right number of data sets to make that educated guess.

Formula Example:
5 + 1 / (x + 1) will always approach 5 because "1 / (x + 1) will approach 0".

Hope this helps.

A segment in the coordinate plane has an endpoint with coordinates (1,2) and midpoint with coordinates (4,3). What are the coord
Serga [27]

Answer:

(7,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

midpoint formula (x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2

Look at x and y for the endpoints separately

midpoint x value = ( 1 + x)/2

4= (1 + x)/2

8 = 1 + x

x = 7

midpoint y value =  (2 + y)/2

3 = (2 + y)/2

6 = 2 + y

y = 4

endpoint (x,y) = (7,4)

If Monique spends $2.80 on 3 1/2 lbs of banana how much did Monique pay for each pound of banana?
icang [17]
In 3 1/2 lb is the same as 7 of 1/2 lb so
2.80/7= $0.4 per 1/2 lb
One pound costs 0.4•2= $0.8
