Answer:

option B) ΔABE ∼ ΔADC

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then its corresponding sides are proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem

Triangles ABE and ADC are similar by AA Similarity Theorem

because

m∠ ABE≅m∠ADC

m∠ BAE≅m∠DAC

The corresponding sides are

AB and AD

BE and DC

AE and AC

$\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac{BE}{DC}=\frac{AE}{AC}$

Jim and his dad are bricklayers. Jim can lay bricks for a fireplace and chimney in 5 days. With his father's help he can build i

kati45 [8]

we are given

Jim can lay bricks for a fireplace and chimney in 5 days

Jim's 1 day work is

$=\frac{1}{5}$

we are given

With his father's help he can build it in 2 days

so, both can do same work in 2 days

so, both's 1 day work is

$=\frac{1}{2}$

Let's assume

his father to build it alone in x days

his father 1 day work is

$=\frac{1}{x}$

so, both's 1 days work is

$=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{5}$

so, we can set it to 1/2

we get

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{5}$

now, we can solve for x

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5*1}{5*x}+\frac{1*x}{5*x}$

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5+x}{5x}$

now, we can cross multiply

$5x=2(5+x)$

$5x=10+2x$

$3x=10$

now, we can solve for x

$x=\frac{10}{3}$

so,

his father to build it alone is

$=\frac{10}{3}days$ ............Answer
