Answer:

  DE = 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment DE creates similar triangles DBE and ABC. Thus ...

  BD/BA = DE/AC

  11.9/17 = DE/(20 cm) . . . . . fill in the given values

  DE = (20 cm)·(11.9/17) = 14 cm . . . . . multiply by 20 cm

What we know: one part of candy costs $6 per kg 
another part of candy costs $4.50 per kg
To get a 15kg candy, lets add 6 and 4.5
6+4.5=10.5
Add 4.5 to 10.5
4.5+10.5=15

So, We need 2 kg of the $4.50 candy, and 1 kg of the $6.00 candy.

A child walks due east on the deck of a ship at 4 miles per hour.

If you drew the two vectors for the velocity you find a triangle rectangle since the two directions East and North form an angle of 90°. I drew first the vector towards East and second the vector towards North.

Therefore, to get the speed relative to the surface you have to sum the two vectors, which means you can apply the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse, having the two legs.

h = √(4² + 12²) = √160 = 4√10 = 12.65mph

In order to find the direction, you need to use trigonometry: 
- the sine of an angle is given by the ratio between the opposite side divided the hypotenuse;
- the cosine of an angle is given by the ratio between the adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse.

You can use either one, I will show you both:
sinα = O / H
inverting the formula: α = arcsin (O / H) = sin⁻¹ <span>(O / H)
these two forms are equivalent.

Similarly:
cos</span>β = A / H
β = arccos (A / H) = cos⁻¹ <span>(A / H).

Substituting your numbers:
</span>α = sin⁻¹ (12 / 12.65) = <span>sin⁻¹ (0.9486) = 1.25rad
</span>β = cos⁻¹ (4 / 12.65) = cos⁻¹<span> (0.3162) = 1.25rad

As you can see, </span>α = β so you can use either formula.

Your answer will then be: the child is moving relative to the surface of the water with a speed of 12.65mph at a direction of 1.25rad from East towards North.

ATTENTION!
If you drew first the vector towards North and then the one towards East, you get an equivalent triangle, which is rotated by 180° respect to the previous one. This way, what you earlier called Opposite is now Adjacent and vice-versa, but the formulas are still valid.
You will get:
α = sin⁻¹ (4 / 12.65) = <span>sin⁻¹ (0.3162) = 0.32rad
</span>β = cos⁻¹ (12 / 12.65) = cos⁻¹<span> (0.9486) = 0.32rad
And your answer will be: </span><span>the child is moving relative to the surface of the water with a speed of 12.65mph at a direction of 0.32rad from North towards East.</span>

Answer:

54 sq units

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle at the top (FAB) has a base of 10 and a height of 3. Area of triangle is 1/2bh so 1/2(10 * 3) = 1/2 * 30 = 15 sq units

If you cut off the triangle you have a trapezoid, EBCD. A trapezoid is (b1 + b2)/2 * h, so (6 + 7)/2 * 6 = 13/2 * 6 = 6.5 * 6 = 39 sq units

Add them together: 15 + 39 = 54 sq units
