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!!!

Look online for the growth of the trunk of a tree. Estimate how much time does it take for a water oak to grow one inch in diame
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Explained

Step-by-step explanation:

The trunk of a tree grows in two different ways, first in height and second in diameter.Usually tree grows one ring per year in diameter. So, counting the number of rings we can determine the age of a tree. Both height and diameter growth does not occur at the same rate. Tree grows more in height than in their diameter. Mature trees usually grows 1 inch in diameter every year.

Water oak gains 24 inches in height  every year and  1.5 inch growth in diameter annually, meaning if we divide 1.5 inches by 12 months we gets 0.125 inches growth monthly. So a water oak tree needs only 8 months to grow 1 inch in diameter.

exis [7]

Answer:

39+0.15m \leqslant 50

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Diana wants her total bill to be less than $50.

Diana pays a fixed monthly bill of

$39 for her mobile phone and an additional

$0.15 per minute for phone internet service.

The bill Diana pays for m minutes of using the internet is $0.15m in a month.

The total monthly bill becomes,

39+0.15m

The maximum bill she wants to pay is $50.

\implies39+0.15m \leqslant 50

This inequality can be solved to determine the number of available minutes.
