Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:By AA similarity postulate

△ADB∼△ABC∼△BDC

therefore the sides of the triangles are proportional, in particular

ADAB=ABAC ACBC=BCDC

By algebra we have the following equations

AD⋅AC=AB⋅ABAC⋅DC=BC⋅BC

this is the same as

AD⋅AC=AB2AC⋅DC=BC2

"Equals added to equals are equal" allows us to add the equations

AD⋅AC+AC⋅DC=AB2+BC2

By distributive property

AC(AD+DC)=AB2+BC2

but by construction AD+DC=AC.

Substituting we have

AC⋅AC=AB2+BC2

this is equivalent to

AB2+BC2=AC2

which is what we wanted to prove

20% of the rose Annette picked from a rose garden were red if she picked 10 red roses how many roses did she pick from the garde
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Option A

Annette picked  50 roses  from the garden

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us understand the problem, designating letters to represent unknown quantities.

Let the total number of roses = x

20% of the roses were red means that 20% of x = red

Since the number of red roses = 10,

we will have that 20% of x = 10

mathematically, we will have

\frac{20}{100} \times x = 10\\x= \frac{1000}{20}= 50

hence, Annette picked  50 roses  from the garden
