Answer:

The value of AD=1 and DC=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ΔABC, D∈ AC m∠ABC=m∠BDA,  AB=2, AC=4

Diagram: Please find attachment.

To find: AD=? and DC=?

Calculation:

In ΔABC and ΔADB

   ∠ABC=∠ADB          (Given)

        ∠A=∠A               (Common)

Therefore,  ΔABC ≈ ΔADB  by AA similarity

If two triangles are similar then ratio their corresponding sides are equal

Therefore,

\dfrac{AD}{AB}=\dfrac{AB}{AC}

where, AD=?, AB=2, AC=4

\dfrac{AD}{2}=\dfrac{2}{4}

AD=\dfrac{2\times 2}{4}=1

AD=1

AD+DC=AC

1+DC=4

DC=4-1

DC=3

Hence, The value of AD=1 and DC=3

Answer:

AD = 1

DC = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that ∠ABC = ∠BDA, because it is stated in the problem. We also know that ∠A = ∠A, because that angle is common in both angles. To better visualize this, there is a picture below. Therefore, ΔABC is similar to ΔBDA. We are also aware of the fact that AB = 2, and AC = 4. Therefore, the ratio of similitude is 1:2.

Since the two triangles are similar, side AB is proportionate to side AC, side AD is proportionate to side AB, and side BD is proportionate to side BC.

Using this fact and the ratio of similitude, we can write the following ratio:

AD:AB = 1:2

We can substitute 2 for AB in this ratio, and we find that AD = 1.

Since AD + DC = AC, and AC = 4, DC = 3.

Lesson 2-3
malfutka [58]

Answer:

18. g= -3

19. x= -1

20. n= 3

21. p= -1

22. d= -3

23. a= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

how to solve the variable (using 18 as an example)

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

20+g+g=14

(g+g)+(20)=14(combine like terms)

2g+20=14

2g+20=14

step 2: subtract 20 from both sides.

2g+20−20=14−20

2g=−6

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2g/2 = -6/2

A fish tank has a base area of 45cm2 and is filled with water to a depth of 12cm.If the height of the tank is 25cm, how much wat
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

v = 45 * 12

v = 540cm³

To fill the tank,

v = 45 * 25

v = 1,125cm³

I'm not quite sure what the exact question is so i'll answer both;

1.) The volume of water required to fill the tank from empty = 1,125cm³

2.) The volume of water required to fill the tank from it's current level is

1,125cm³ - 540cm³ = 585cm³
