Answer:

7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

the new height of the bush can be represented in percentage form as 100% + 40% = 140% = 1.40

1.40 x 5 = 7 feet

Method 2

find 40% of 5 feet

0.4 x 5 = 2

Add 5 + 2 = 7 feet

In the figure shown e is the midpoint of segment bd and ae = ec . choose the correct statement(s)

forsale [732]

Answer:

Triangle ABE and triangle CDE are congruent by using SAS theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that e is the midpoint of BD and $AE=EC$ .

$BE\cong DE$ (E is midpoint of BD)

Angle AEB and angle CED are vertical opposite angle and the vertical opposite angles are always same.

$\angle AEB\cong \angle CED$

$AE=EC$ (Given)

So by using SAS theorem of congruent triangles.

$\triangle ABE\cong \triangle CED$

Therefore triangle ABE and triangle CDE are congruent by using SAS theorem.

Math picture, please help

Sergeu [11.5K]

the sum of all interior angles in a polygon is 180(n - 2), where n = number of sides.

well, this is a quadrilateral, so it has 4 sides so it has a total of interior angles of 180(4-2) = 360°, since this is a kite, then <u>one pair of opposite angles are congruent</u>, namely ∡C = ∡A.

360° - 45° - 100° = 215°, and ∡C and ∡A split that evenly, so ∡C = 107.5°.

The volume of a triangular prism is 20 cubic mm. If the dimensions were doubled, what would the new

anygoal [31]

Answer:

The new volume will be 160 mm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a triangular prism can be calculated by multiplying the area of the triangular base by the height.

Let’s say we have the base with dimensions a and b, while the height can be h

The volume can be calculated as

V = 1/2 * a * b * h

Now , to answer this question, we shall be choosing arbitrary lengths for a, b and h. Whatever length we shall be choosing , we should make sure that they must be equal to 20 mm^3.

Let’s say we have a as 2mm , b as 4 mm and H as 5 mm

Plugging these into the equation, we surely have our volume as 20 mm^3

Now let’s double these dimensions. Our new dimensions become , 4mm by 8mm by 10mm

Plugging these new values into the equation, we have;

1/2 * 4 * 8 * 10 = 160 mm^3

Thus, our volume is expected to be increased by a factor of 8
