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

Gilda walks to the train station. If she walks at the rate of 3 mph, she misses her train by 7 minutes. However, if she walks at
Salsk061 [2.6K]
We'll represent the distance as d and the time as t. 
d= 3(t+7)            because Gilda is 7 minutes late when travelling 3 mph
d= 4(t-5)             because Gilda is 5 minutes early at 4 mph

d= 3t + 21
d= 4t -20
3t +21 =4t -20
41=t
d= 3(41) +21= 144
The distance is 144 miles.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture, we can observe that

UF is the diameter of the circle. Diameter is a line that reaches from one point on the edge of a circle, through its center, to a point on the opposite side.

WM is a secant or a chord

WO is the radius

OF is also a radius

What is the area of the following figure?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

16.56‬

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the square is 2 × 2

The area of the circle is-

A=πr²

A=3.14 × 2²

A=3.14 × 4

A=12.56

You don't need to divide it by half because there are two half circles so it would be a whole circle

12.56 + 4 = 16.56

Sorry if it is wrong
