Answer: DE= 15 m

Explanation:

Since, in \triangle CDF,

After applying, Pythagoras theorem, DF^2=CD^2-CF^2=(17)^2-(8)^2=289-64=225

Thus, DF^2=225 \Rightarrow DF=\sqrt{225} \Rightarrow DF=15 m

Again, in \triangle BDF and \triangle BDE,

\angle BED= \angle BFD ( Right angles)

BD=BD ( common edges)

\angle DBE= \angle DBF (BD makes the angle bisector of angle B.)

Thus, according to AAS condition- \triangle BDF\cong \triangle BDE

So, DE=DF (CPCT)

Therefore, DE=DF=15m⇒DE=15 m

To solve this you have to use the Pythagorean Theorem. 
Which is a²+b²=c²
CF,CD,and DF makes a triangle 
Substitute it in
a²+8²=17² Add
a²+64=289 Subtract 64 to get a alone
a²=225 Square root it 
a=15

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the equation

y = kx

k = y/x

where k is the proportionality constant

so,

First ratio can be calculated as

Miles = 45

Hours = 3/4

The ratio = 45 / (3/4)

                = (45 × 4) / 3

                = 180/3

                = 60

Thus, the proportionality constant = 60

Thus, the remaining ratios can be calculated as:

The Pair (135, Hours)

135/Hours = 60

Hours = 135 / 60

           = 27/12

           = 9/4

           = 2.25

Thus, the pair is (135, 2.25)

The Pair (Miles, 3)

Miles/3 = 60

Miles = 60×3

         = 180

The Pair (90, Hours)

90/Hours = 60

Hours = 90 / 60

          = 3/2

          = 1.5

Thus, the complete table:

Miles           45           135           180             90

Hours           3/4          9/4           3                 3/2

Verification:

Miles / Hour =  45/(3/4) = 60

Miles / Hour = 135 / 2.25 =  60

Miles / Hour = 180 / 3 = 60

Miles / Hour  = 90 / 1.5 =  60

The conversion rate for US Dollars to Costa Rican Colones is 1 USD = 518 Colones.
allsm [11]

The cost of 0.5 kg of bananas is 393.60 Colones as per the given conversion rates

Conversion rate of 1 USD to Costa Rican Colones = 518 Colones

The conversion rate of kg to pounds given in the question: 1 kg = 2.2025 lbs

Cost of one pound of bananas = $0.69

Bananas required to be purchased = 0.5kg

Converting 0.5kg bananas to pounds = 0.5*2.2025 = 1.10125 pounds

Cost of 1.10125 pound of bananas in dollars = 1.10125*0.69 = 0.7598

Cost of 1.1025 pounds of bananas in Colones = 0.7598*518 = 393.60 Colones

Hence, the cost is 393.60

Therefore, the cost of 0.5 kg bananas in Colones is 393.60 Colones

Describe how a points location changes after you add a negative value to the y coordinate of an ordered pair and leave the x coo
motikmotik
A points location will change after you add a negative value to the y coordinate even if you leave the x coordinate the name because you are changing the value of the y coordinate. For example, if you have (4,6) as a coordinate and then change it to (4,-6), the coordinate will now just be on the other side of the x axis
