Answer:  4:10 ≠ 6:14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : ABC is a triangle,

In which D\in AB and E\in AC

We have to prove that : DE is not parallel to BC,

That is, DE ∦ BC

Proof: Let us assume that,

DE is parallel to segment BC.

Thus, By the corresponding angle theorem,

∠ ADE ≅ ∠ ABC and ∠ AEC ≅ ∠ ACB

By AA similarity theorem,

\triangle ADE\sim \triangle ABC

Thus, By the property of similar triangles,

\frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{AE}{AC}

Given AD = 4, DB=6 ⇒ AB = AD+DB = 4+6 = 10

AE = 6, EC = 8 ⇒ AC = AE + EC = 6+8 = 14

But, \frac{4}{10} \neq \frac{6}{14}

Thus, triangle ADE is not similar to ABC,

That is, our assumption is wrong.

⇒ DE is not parallel to BC

Therefore, First Option is correct.

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

Based on the situation above the inequality will he use to contradict the assumption is <span>
4:10 ≠ 6:14</span>
if DE is parallel to BC
then
4: (4+5) = 6 : (6 + 8)

Answer:

  • a = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Simplify:</u>

  • √5(√8 + √18) =
  • √5*8 + √5*18 =
  • √40 + √90 =
  • √4*10 + √9*10 =
  • 2√10 + 3√10 =
  • (2 + 3)√10 =
  • 5√10

<u>The value of a:</u>

  • a√10 = 5√10
  • a = 5

In figure qr = 1/3pr. find pq​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

PQ = 3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

QR =\frac{1}{3} PR

QR =\frac{1}{3} \times 4.8

QR =1.6

PQ = PR - QR

PQ = 4.8 - 1.6

PQ = 3.2
