Answer:

Given: A triangle ABC and a line DE parallel to BC.

To prove: A line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionally.

Proof: Consider ΔABC and DE be the line parallel to Bc, then from ΔABC and ΔADE, we have

∠A=∠A (Common)

∠ADE=∠ABC (Corresponding angles)

Thus, by AA similarity, ΔABC is similar to ΔADE, therefore

AB/AD= AC/AE

⇒AD+DB/AD = AE+EC/AE

⇒1+DB/AD = 1+ EC/AE

⇒DB/AD = EC/AE

Therefore, a line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionally.

⇒Therefore Proved

Hope this helps!!!

Answer:

The answer to your question is:         y = -2x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Point = (1, 8)

Line    y = x/2 + 3

perpendicular

slope = 1/2  but the lines are perpendicular, then slope = -2

Equation

                    ( y - y1) = m ( x - x1)

                     (y - 8) = -2(x  - 1)

                     y - 8 = -2 x + 2

                     y = -2x + 2 + 8

                    y = -2x + 10

An airplane is flying at an elevation of 5150 ft, directly above a straight highway. Two motorists are driving cars on the highw
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The cars are 10702ft apart

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of the plane from the high way = 5150ft

Considering Triangle ABD, we will be using SOHCAHTOA

Tan = Opposite/ Adjacent

Tan 54° = Y/5150

Y = 5150*tan54°

Y = 7088 ft

Considering Triangle ADC, Tan = Opposite/ Adjacent is also applicable

Tan 34° = X/5150

X = 5150*tan 54°

X = 3614ft

The distance between the two cars = (X+Y)

= 7088 + 3614

= 10702ft
