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

At Trendy Tailor Boutique's annual end-of-season sale, every necktie in the
astra-53 [7]

By direct calculation, we will see that the full price of each necktie is $29.

<h3>How to find the complete price of each necktie?</h3>

Let's say that the full price of each necktie is f.

We know that Will each necktie costed $8 less than the full price, so he paid:

(f - $8) for each one.

Knowing that he bought 7 and paid a total of $147, we know that he paid:

$147/7 = $21

Then we need to solve:

(f - $8) = $21

Solving for f, we have:

f = $21 + $8 = $29.

So the full price of each necktie is $29.

Find terminal points on the unit circle determines by 5pi/3
Tatiana [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (x, y) = (1/2, -√3/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates on a unit circle of the intersection of the terminal ray of angle α are ...

  (x, y) = (cos(α), sin(α))

For α = 5π/3, the point on the unit circle is ...

  (x, y) = (cos(5π/3), sin(5π/3)) = (1/2, (-√3)/2)

Help me please! These are due today.
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

{x}^{2}  + 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Area of shaded region = Area of external rectangle - Area of internal rectangle

= 4x(x + 2) - x(3x + 5) \\  = 4 {x}^{2}  + 8x - 3 {x}^{2}  - 5x \\  = 4 {x}^{2}  - 3 {x}^{2}  + 8x - 5x \\  =  {x}^{2}  + 3x \\

2.

Let the width of the rectangle be x inches.

Therefore, length of the rectangle = (x + 3) inches

A.

Area of rectangle

=(x + 3)\times x\\=x^2 + 3x\\

B.

Width of rectangle = 4 inches

Length of rectangle = 4 + 3 = 7 inches

Area of rectangle = 7*4 = 28 square inches.
