Answer:

Perimeter of triangle DEF = 54 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Δ ABC is similar to Δ DEF

AB = 8, BC = 12, AC =16 and DE = 12.

Since, the two triangle are similar, their corresponding sides will be in proportion. Therefore,

\frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{BC}{EF}=\frac{AC}{DF}

Now, consider the first two ratios.

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

Plug in 8 for AB, 12 for BC, 12 for DE and solve for EF. This gives,

\frac{8}{12}=\frac{12}{EF}\\8\times EF=12\times 12\\8\times EF=144\\EF=\frac{144}{8}=18

Now, consider the ratio:

\frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{AC}{DF}

Plug in 8 for AB, 16 for AC, 12 for DE and solve for DF. This gives,

\frac{8}{12}=\frac{16}{DF}\\8\times DF=16\times 12\\8\times DF=192\\DF=\frac{192}{8}=24

Therefore, the lengths of sides of triangle DEF are:

DE = 12, EF = 18 and DF = 24

Now, perimeter is the sum of all the sides of the triangle. Therefore,

Perimeter=DE +EF+DF\\Perimeter=12+18+24=54

Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle DEF is 54 units.

IM IN DESPERATE NEED FOR HELP SOMEONE HURRRRYYY
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

yes, triangle DEF is similar to triangle DBC, BC corresponds to EF, and angle DCB corresponds to angle F.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: Angle D is congruent to angle D by the reflexive property. Since line BC is parallel to line EF then angle DCB = angle DFE by corresponding angles.  Hence triangle DEF is similar to triangle DBS by the AA Similarity Postulate.

Part B: BC corresponds to EF because they are in the same order and the triangles listed DEF and DBC

Part C: Angle DCB corresponds to angle F since they are corresponding angles with the two given parallel lines BC and EF.

An angle measures 72 degrees more than the measure of its complementary angle what is the measure of each angle
labwork [276]

Good evening

Answer:

<h2>measure of Angle 1 = 81°</h2><h2>Measure of angle 2 = 9°</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve this system

x + y = 90 (1)

x = y + 72 (2)

If we substitute x by y+72 into the equation (1) we will get

(y+72) + y = 90 ⇔ 2y + 72 = 90 ⇔ 2y = 90 - 72 = 18 ⇔ y = 9

then x = 90 - 9 = 81

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

<h2>4200 times</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

70\:times = 1\:minute\\x\:times\:= 60\:minute\\\\Cross\:multiply\\ x = 70 \times 60\\\\x = 4200\\\\= 4200 \:times\:in\:an\:hour\\\\Note: 60\:minutes = 1 \:hour
