m∠1 = 30° (by Vertical angle theorem)
m∠A = 80° (by Triangle sum theorem)
m∠D = 80° (by Triangle sum theorem)
The value of x is 7.5 and y is 9.
Solution:
∠ACB and ∠DCE are vertically opposite angles.
Vertical angle theorem:
<em>If two lines are intersecting, then vertically opposite angles are congruent.</em>
⇒ m∠DCE = m∠ACB
⇒ m∠1 = 30° (by Vertical angle theorem)
In triangle ACD,
Triangle sum property:
<em>Sum of the interior angles of the triangle = 180°</em>
⇒ m∠A + m∠C + m∠B = 180°
⇒ m∠A + 30° + 70° = 180°
⇒ m∠A + 100° = 180°
⇒ m∠A = 100° – 180°
⇒ m∠A = 80° (by Triangle sum theorem)
Similarly, m∠D = 80° (by Triangle sum theorem)
In ΔACD and ΔDCE,
All the angles are congruent, so ΔACD and ΔDCE are similar triangles.
<em>In similar triangle corresponding sides are in the same ratio.</em>
Do cross multiplication.
90 = 12x
7.5 = x
Now, to find y:
Do cross multiplication.
9y = 72
Divide by 9, we get
y = 8
Hence the value of x is 7.5 and y is 9.
C. 3.16 is the right answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula used in coordinate geometry is derived from the Pythagorean theorem.
The distance formula is give by:
Here (x1,y1) are the coordinates of first point and (y1,y2) are the coordinates of second point
Here,
(x1,y1) = (5,-3)
(x2,y2) = (6,0)
Putting the values in the formula
The distance between two points is 3.16 units.
Hence,
C. 3.16 is the right answer
