Answer:

DE = 4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the chord intersection theorem:

BE * CE = DE * FE

But FE = DE + 5 so:

BE * CE = DE * (DE + 5)

6 * 6 = DE^2 + 5DE

DE^2 + 5DE  - 36 = 0

(DE + 9)(DE - 4) = 0

So DE = -9 or 4

It can't be negative so DE = 4.

Answer:

x= 23.4

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle the tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite length over the adjacent*. In formulas, tan 54° = x/17 Solving for x, using a calculator for the tangent, x= 23.4

*I promise I didn't just spellcheck that.

Which of the following functions is graphed below?
svetoff [14.1K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

C (see attached)

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

The linear portion of the graph is defined for x ≥ 1, with the point x=1 included. Only selections A and C do that.

The quadratic portion of the graph is defined for x < 1. Only selection C does that. (Selection A is doubly-defined for x > 1, so is not a function. It is undefined for x < 1.)

Which line is the line of reflection?<br><br>A. a<br>B. b<br>C. c<br>D. d
Leto [7]
The line of reflection is b

You can see it much easier if take away all the clutter. Redraw the diagram and take way a d and especially c.

You should be left with only line b and the two triangles. You can see it much easier if you do that. Then just look at the parallel lines of the triangles. They are right across from each other.
