Since BC is parallel to DE, triangles ABC and ADE are similar. What are the lengths of the unknown sides?

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: find BC

Given Triangles ABC and ADE are similar,

\frac{AB}{AD} = \frac{BC}{DE}

BC = \frac{AB}{AD} x DE

= \frac{8}{8 + 4} x 9

= 6 cm

Step 2: use Pythagorean theorem to find AC and / or AE

Consider triangle ABC,

by Pythagorean theorem,

AB² + BC² = AC²

AC² = 6² + 8² = 100

AC = √100 = 10 (answer... we can see that C is the only one with AC=10.

Step 3: Verify.. even though we know that it is C because AC  = 10,  you can verify that the ansewer is correct by finding CE and confirming that CE=5

By using similar triangles ABC and ADE,

AC/AE = AB / AD

AE = AD/AB x AC = 12/8 x 10 = 15

CE = AE - AC = 15 - 10 = 5 (answer confirmed)

After 30 minutes from the time recipe is kept in the oven, then the temperature of the oven is kept at 350 °F.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

The function is an expression, rule, or law that defines the relationship between one variable to another variable. Functions are ubiquitous in mathematics and are essential for formulating physical relationships.

A pumpkin pie recipe says to bake the pie at 425°F for 15 minutes, and then to adjust the temperature down to 350°F for 45 additional minutes.

The function P(t) gives the oven temperature setting t, in degrees Fahrenheit, t minutes after the pie is placed in the oven.

Diego discovers that the temperature inside the oven is always 25 degrees warmer than the oven’s temperature setting.

The function B gives the actual temperature of Diego’s oven.

If P(30) = 350. Then the corresponding point on the function B will be

The temperature function can be written as

P(t)=\begin{Bmatrix}425 & 0\leq t\leq 15 \\\\350 & 15 < t\leq 60 \\\end{Bmatrix}

The value of t = 30 lies in the interval of 15 < t ≤ 60.

After 30 minutes from the time recipe is kept in the oven, then the temperature of the oven is kept at 350 °F.

More about the function link is given below.
