Answer:
These two triangles are <em>similar triangles. </em>This means that their side lengths are proportional to each other.
Thus, making line segment EC equal to "x", and BC equal to "y" we can write:
8/y = 28/(10+y)
The next step is to get rid of the fractions, which can be done by cross multiplying.
So we have:
8(10+y) = 28(y)
After distribution and some simplification, you should get the value of y.
80+8y = 28y
80 = 20y
80/20 = 20y/20
4 = y
y = 4
Knowing that y = BC, and y = 4, it is clear that BC = 4.
Since BC = 4, one can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for segment EC.
Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the side lengths of a right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse (in other words the longest side)
In our case, a and b are 8 and 4 (the order doesn't really matter here).
So we have: 8^2 + 4^2 = c^2
64 + 16 = c^2
80 = c^2
c = sqrt 80
c = 4 sqrt 5
And we arrive at the answer- EC = 4 sqrt 5, making B the correct choice.
Hope this helps!
The scale factor will be 1.5. The corresponding angles are congruent because the size is changed not the angles.
<h3>What is dilation?</h3>
Dilation is the process of increasing the size of an item without affecting its form. Depending on the scale factor, the object's size can be raised or lowered.
Adnan wants a larger garden.
He draws the triangle ΔPQR to show his original garden.
He wants to enlarge a garden, so he uses a dilation to form the image of the triangle ΔPQ'R'.
He uses vertex P as the center of the dilation.
The ratio of the corresponding sides will be given as
PQ'/PQ = Q'R'/QR = R'P/RP = 1.5
The scale factor will be 1.5.
The corresponding angles are congruent because the size is changed not the angles.
More about the dilation link is given below.

Answer:
The area of the circle is 1256cm squared
Step-by-step explanation:
3.14(20 x 20)
3.14(400)
A : 1256cm squared
Answer: 100.5
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply 3.14 by 2 to the 2nd power by 8. so first 2 to the second power is 4. Then 4x8 is 32. Final step is to multiply 3.14 by 32 to get 100.48. Then you gotta round to get 100.5.
