ipn [44]3 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

solution

let,

AB = 9

AC = 9 + 3a - 6

AD = 12

AE = 12 + 20

now

AB/AD = AC/AE

or, 9/12 = 3 + 3a / 22

by cross multiply

or, 9×22 = 12×(3 + 3a)

or, 198 = 36 + 36a

or, (198 - 36)/36 = a

or, 4.5 = a

Answer:

x = 5√2

y = 5√6

z = 5√3

ΔABC ~ ΔBDC ~ ΔADB

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC, ΔBDC, and ΔADB are all similar triangles to each other.

By definition of similar triangles, the corresponding sides have the same ratios.

CD from ΔBDC corresponds to BD from ΔADB, and BD from ΔBDC corresponds to AD from ΔADB. So:

CD / BD = BD / AD

10 / x = x / 5

x² = 50

x = 5√2

Since ΔBDC is right, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for y:

CD² + BD² = BC²

10² + (5√2)² = y²

y² = 100 + 50 = 150

y = 5√6

Again, since ΔΔABD is right, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for z:

AD² + BD² = AB²

5² + (5√2)² = z²

z² = 25 + 50 = 75

z = 5√3

One card from a deck of cards Is selected, it's is replaced, and another card is chosen. What is the probability that the first
Elis [28]

Answer:

1/ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of red cards in deck = 26

Number of diamonds in deck = 13

Number of cards in deck = 52

Recall :

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Probability of choosing a red :

P(red) = 26 / 52 = 1/2

With replacement :

Probability of diamond :

P(diamond) = 13 / 52 = 1/4

Hence,

Probability of first card red, then second card diamond equals

P(red) * P(diamond)

1/2 * 1/4

= 1/8
