Answer:

1) they are similar by AAA postulate

2) 9.6 cm

Explanation:

Triangles CAB and CED are similar

because:

1) both have the same angle C

(vertically opposite angles)

2) Angle A = Angle E

(alternate angles)

3) Angle B = Angle D

(alternate angles)

CA/CE = AB/ED

10/8 = 12/DE

DE = 12 × 8/10

DE = 9.6 cm

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle ACE = DCE since they are vertical angles

Angle A = Angle E parallel lines cut by a transversal form congruent alternate interior angles

Angle B = Angle D parallel lines cut by a transversal form congruent alternate interior angles

When all three angles are equal, the triangles are similar.

We can use ratios to find DE

DE         CE  

------- = ----------

AB           AC

DE         8

------- = ----------

12           10

Using cross products

10 DE = 8*12

10 DE = 96

Divide by 10

DE = 9.6

For every 1 litre of water used to make a medicine, 269ml of sucrose and 47ml of saline solution are used. Express the amount of
leonid [27]

Answer:

1000 : 269 : 47

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is a way of comparing the value or amount of one quantity to another.

We are to find the ration of water to sucrose to saline solution, hence, it must remain in that order.

Water : Sucrose : Saline solution

The amount of water is 1 litre (1 * 1000 ml = 1000 ml)

The amount of sucrose is 269 ml

The amount of saline solution is 47 ml

Therefore, the ratio of water to sucrose to saline solution is:

W : S : SS = 1000 : 269 : 47

Since 1000, 269 and 47 have no common factors, that is the simplest form of the ratio.

Let M = Martha.

Let X = Number of Lucy's blocks.

Martha has half the amount as Lucy  - 1/2(x)

Then 7 more than that - 1/2 (x) + 7
