Answer:

4.Angle B =Angle B

Reason: Reflexive property of equality

5.Triangle BDE is similar to triangle BAC

Reason: AA similarity postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC

Segment DE is parallel to segment AC.

1.Segment DE is parallel to AC

Reason: Given

2.Line segment AB is a transversal line which intersects two parallel lines

Reason:Conclusion from statement 1

3.Angle BDE congruent to angle BAC

Reason: Corresponding angles postulate

4.Angle B =Angle B

Reason: Reflexive property of equality

5.Triangle BDE is similar to triangle BAC

Reason: AA similarity postulate

6.BD over BA equals BE over BC.

Reason:When two triangles are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

John has a box that is in the shape of a cube (i.
Artemon [7]
A box (cube) has all equal edges or sides (s), thus the volume (v) of the cube is:
v =  {s}^{3} \\ 27 \:  {in}^{3} =  {s}^{3}  \\  \sqrt{( {s}^{3}) } =  \sqrt{( {27in}^3)}  \\ s = 3 \: in
So since each side or edge around is 3 in, then the length around the square bottom of the box = 4×3 = 12 in
