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

so

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

Answer:

#16 has the greatest y - intercept,

Step-by-step explanation:

the y - intercept is the number that comes after x in y = ?x + ?

The equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y - intercept.

#13 has a y - intercept of 5, #14 has 0, #15 is 2, and #16 is 6

The y - intercept is the value of y when x is 0, or where the line is on the y -axis

Answer:

if the sum of two angles is 90° they are said to be complementary

If one angle is x

the other should be (90 - x)°

so the complementary angle of x is (90 - x)
