If i understood it right when you estimate the quotient it help you have an idea
Hey there!
Since 2 goes into 8, you would simplify. You would get 1 inch and 4 miles. Next, set up a ratio. The ratio is 1 inch: 4 miles. So for every inch on the map, there is 4 miles.
I hope this helps!
Y = -1x+b
replace x and y to find b
2 = -1*2+ b
b = 4
Final:
y = -1x + 4
Answer:
AE = 15 cm; ED = 18 cm; AD = 15 cm (given)
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔBEC ~ ΔAED so ...
AD/BC = AE/BE = (BE+AB)/BE = 1 + AB/BE
Substituting given numbers (lengths in centimeters), we have ...
15/10 = 1 + 5/BE
1/2 = 5/BE
BE = 10
Similarly, ...
1/2 = 6/CE
CE = 12
Then the unknown sides are ...
AE = AB + BE = 5 + 10 = 15 . . . cm
ED = CE + CD = 12 + 6 = 18 . . . cm
