Answer:

DE = 15

AB = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for triangles

Required

Determine the lengths of DE and AB

To solve for DE, we make use of the following equivalent ratio

AC : BC =CE:DE

Substitute values

8:5 = 24:DE

Express as fraction

\frac{8}{5} = \frac{24}{DE}

Cross Multiply

DE * 8 = 24 *5

DE * 8 = 120

DE = 120/8

DE = 15

To solve for AB, we make use of the following equivalent ratio

AB : BC =CD:DE

Substitute values

AB : 5 = 18 : 15

Express as fraction

\frac{AB}{5} = \frac{18}{15}

Multiply by 5

5 * \frac{AB}{5} = \frac{18}{15}*5

AB= \frac{18}{15}*5

AB= \frac{18}{3}

AB = 6

A door to a playhouse is 50 inches tall. Which of the following is another measure equal to the height?
Effectus [21]

Answer:

4 ft 2 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

A door to a playhouse is 50 inches tall

we know that

1 in---------------> is 0.0833333 ft

so

50 in-------------> 50*0.0833333---------> 4.167 ft

4.167 ft----------> [4 ft+0.167 ft]

remember that

1 in---------------> is 0.0833333 ft

X in----------------> 0.167 ft

X=0.167/0.0833333----------> X=2 in

4.167 ft----------> [4 ft+0.167 ft]--------> [4 ft+2 in]
