Show that the triangles are similar

Mathematics
1 answer:
ss7ja [257]3 years ago

Answer:

<ACB is supplementary to the < ECD by the definition of supplementary angles. Therefore the first part of your answer is <ACB = <ECD

We know that similar triangles have the same corresponding angle measurements for their angles and therefore one of the triangles is just a scaled up or down version of the original. Triangle EDC is a scaled down version of ABC. Therefore, the corresponding sides of triangle ECD have the same ratio to the corresponding sides of ABC. For example line segment EC and BC are corresponding line segment and lets find the ratio: 14/21 = 2/3

THe ratio of EC to BC is 2/3 and the ratio of CD to AC is also 2/3 (18 / 27=2/3)

Therefore, CE / BC is equal to DC / AC

Your full answer is

<ACB = <ECD, CE / BC = DC / AC

So triangle ABC ~ triangle CDE

Answer:

  (b)  √55

Step-by-step explanation:

The right triangles in this geometry are all similar, so the ratio of long side to short side is the same:

  y/5 = 11/y

  y² = 55 . . . . . . multiply by 5y

  y = √55 . . . . . take the square root

__

And x=4√5 by looking at ratios of short side to hypotenuse.
