Answer:
a) ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC by AA similarity
b) ED/AB = 3/4
c) 15 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Two angles in each triangle are the same, so the AA similarity postulate can be used to declare the ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC. (Each triangle includes a right angle and angle C.)
__
b) Corresponding sides are ED/AB, DC/BC, EC/AC. The ratio of corresponding sides is ED/BC = (12 cm)/(16 cm) = 3/4.
__
c) Using the ratios identified above, we have ...
DC/BC = 3/4 = x/(20 cm)
x = 3/4(20 cm)
x = 15 cm
Answer:
split the other three in half
Step-by-step explanation:
Pytagorean theorem
height10
attached at 10-4=6 yards from bottom
8 yards from base to away
a^2+b^2=c^2
a and b are side legnths and c=hypotonuse
so therfore we are given a and b and we must solve for c
so
6=height
8=base
6^2+8^2=c^2
36+64=c^2
100=c^2
square root
10=c
so therfor the legnth of each cable is 10 yards
3 cables so 3 times 10=30
30 yards needed
0.88x distributive property and isolate the variables
Answer: 3.99797217..
Step-by-step explanation:
formula for the circumference is pi x diameter
divide circumference by pi
25.12/pi = 7.9959443...
divide that by two to get the radius which would be 3.997972...
