Answer:

BC = 23.8

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram attached.

Given AC ║ DE and BD = 5, DA = 12 and BE = 7.

We have to find BC.

Since, AC ║ DE, so, Δ ABC and Δ DBE are similar.

If two triangles are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides remains the same.

Hence, $\frac{BD}{BA} = \frac{BE}{BC}$

⇒ $\frac{5}{12 + 5} = \frac{7}{BC}$

⇒ $BC = \frac{7 \times 17}{5} = 23.8$ (Answer)

Determine the standard form of the equation for the circle with center (h,k) = (-5 ½) and radius r =1

wariber [46]

Asuuing yo meant (h,k)=(-5,1/2)

equation is $(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$
(h,k) is center and r=radious
given that (h,k)=(-5,1/2) and r=1
h=-5
k=1/2

$(x-(-5))^2+(y- \frac{1}{2} )^2=1^2$
$(x+5)^2+(y- \frac{1}{2} )^2=1$
if you wanted us to expand
x²+y^2+10x-y+25.25=1

Brett is 75 feet from the base of a building. he measures the angle of elevation to the top of the building and records it as 80

SashulF [63]

This is the concept of trigonometry, we are required to calculate the number of floors the building has given the information above;
# floors=[height of the building]/[height of each floor]
height of each floor=17 ft
let the height of the building be,h.
h is given by;
tan theta=opposite/adjacent
theta=80
opposite=h
adjacent=75 ft
thus
tan 80=h/75
h=75 tan 80
h=425.35 ft
thus the number of floors will be:
425.35/17
=25.020≈25 floors
