Answer:
a) ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC by AA similarity
b) ED/AB = 3/4
c) 15 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Two angles in each triangle are the same, so the AA similarity postulate can be used to declare the ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC. (Each triangle includes a right angle and angle C.)
__
b) Corresponding sides are ED/AB, DC/BC, EC/AC. The ratio of corresponding sides is ED/BC = (12 cm)/(16 cm) = 3/4.
__
c) Using the ratios identified above, we have ...
DC/BC = 3/4 = x/(20 cm)
x = 3/4(20 cm)
x = 15 cm
He used distributive property
Answer: -18
<u>Explanation:</u>
Average rate of change is slope: 
. Need to find the y-coordinates:
g(x) = -x² - 4x
g(6) = -(6)² - 4(6)
= -36 - 24
= -60
⇒ (6, -60)
g(8) = -(8)² - 4(8)
= -64 - 32
= -96
⇒ (8, -96)
m = 
= 
= -18

Answer:
0.4, 0.004, 0.004
Step-by-step explanation:
The "what" in each case is found by dividing the target value by 10. That is accomplished by moving the decimal point one place to the left.
4/10 = 0.4 ⇒ 10 times 0.4 = 4
0.04 and .04 are exactly the same value, so the last two on your list are the same:
0.04/10 = 0.004 ⇒ 10 times .004 = 0.04
