Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
If they're perpendicular, that means that angle ECM = 90 degrees and angle ACE = 90 degrees. To figure out if this works, plug that into the two equations they give:
ECM = 3x + 15
becomes
90 = 3x + 15
75 = 3x
25 = x
ACE = 4x - 10
becomes
90 = 4x - 10
100 = 4x
25 = x
Since you get x = 25 for both, you know that they are perpendicular because they both measure 90 degrees
40 cm.
let the length of the first part be 3x, second part be 4x, third part be 5x.
where x is a positive length in cm.
why 3x,4x and 5x ?
so that the ratio of lengths of the 3 parts be 3:4:5.
total length of the stick = 3x + 4x + 5x = 12x=96cm
so x=96/12 = 8cm
therefore the largest part of the stick (5x)= 5*8 =40cm
Answer choice B would result in no solution
Hope this helps ;)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let, the length is z
thus the ratio will be 5z : 4z
perimeter = 2 (a + b)
360 = 2 ( 5z + 4z )
180 = 9z
z = 20 cm
length = 100 cm and width = 80cm
area = length * width
area = 100*80
area = 8000cm²
