Answer:

Part 1) $x=6.6\ units$

Part 2) $DE=16.2\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the value of x

we know that

Triangles CDF and FDE are similar

therefore

The ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

$CD/FD=FD/DE$

$\frac{5}{9}=\frac{9}{2x+3} \\ \\5*(2x+3)=9*9\\ \\10x+15=81\\ \\10x= 81-15\\ \\10x=66\\ \\ x=6.6\ units$

Part 2) Find the length of DE

$DE=2x+3$

substitute the value of x

$DE=2(6.6)+3=16.2\ units$

Find the value of C that completes the square

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y^2-22y+c

complete the square ax^2+bx+c is our old formula quadratic equation

we know that to find c we will divide b/2 and square it

22/2=11

c^2=121

we have y^2-22y+121

Workers have been down the street installing two blinking red lights in front of the fire station. The two lights are always tur

daser333 [38]

Answer:

After 88 seconds, they will blink together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time after which the first light blinks = 8 seconds

Time after which the second light blinks = 22 seconds

Initially, both the lights blink together.

To find:

The time at which they will blink together again.

Solution:

Let us have a look at the time after which each light will blink.

First light will blink after:

8 s, 16 s, 24 s, 32 s, 40 s, 48 s, 56 s, 64 s, 72 s, 80 s, 88 s, 96 s, 104 s, ......

Second light will blink after:

22 s, 44 s, 66 s, 88 s, 110 s, .....

It can be seen that common time is 88 second, at which the both will blink together.

So, the answer is 88 s.

This answer can also be computed by taking the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of both the numbers i.e. 8 and 22.

Using the factorization method:

$8=\underline{2}\times 2\times 2$

$22=\underline{2}\times 11$

Common is 2.

Therefore the LCM will be:

$2\times 2\times2\times 11 = \bold{88}$

So, the answer is 88 s.
