Mathematics

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

Radda [10]

Answer:

a=567 km+900 km

a=1,467 km

b=567 km+169 km

b=736 km

x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1

x^2/(1,467)^2+y^2/(736)^2=1

A right square pyramid with base edges of length $8\sqrt{2}$ units each and slant edges of length 10 units each is cut by a plan
seropon [69]

Answer:

32 unit^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  • The slant length 10 units
  • A right square pyramid with base edges of length 8\sqrt{2}

Now we use  Pythagoras to get the slant height in the middle of each triangle:

\sqrt{10^{2 - (4\sqrt{2} ^{2} }) } = \sqrt{100 - 32} = \sqrt{68}  units

One again, you can use Pythagoras again to get the perpendicular height of the entire pyramid.

\sqrt{68-(4\sqrt{2} ^{2} )} = \sqrt{68 - 32} = 6 units.

Because slant edges of length 10 units each is cut by a plane that is parallel to its base and 3 units above its base. So we have the other dementions of the small right square pyramid:

  • The height 3 units
  • A right square pyramid with base edges of length 4\sqrt{2}

So the volume of it is:

V  = 1/3 *3* 4\sqrt{2}

= 32 unit^{3}
