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

Sunny’s Surf Shop sold 20 surfboards last week. This week, they will sell 320 percent as many. How many surfboards will Sunny’s
stealth61 [152]
Multiplying 20 by 320% is the same thing as multiplying 20 by 3.2, or 20(3.2)=64. Hope this helped!

Bajo del Gualicho has an elevation of - 72 meters. Lago Enriquillo has an elevation of - 46 meters. Note
Harman [31]

Answer: Bajo del Gualicho has a higher elevation than Lago Enriquillo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in this case the "elevations" are negative because are under sea level, we can call it depth.

In this sense, we are given the "elevations" or depths of two places:

Bajo del Gualicho: -72 m

Lago Enriquillo: -46 m

Keeping in mind we are actually talking about the depth of this places, we can  say Bajo del Gualicho is deeper than Lago Enriquillo, and this is best expressed with the following inequality:

G>E

Where G represents Bajo del Gualicho and E represents Lago Enriquillo.
