Answer:

DCE is similar to AED

EBA is similar to AED

AFE is similar to AED

EFD is similar to AED

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle AED:

D=53(alternate interior angle)

A=180-90-53=37 (angle of triangle)

AA similarity criterion

DCE is similar to AED

angle BEA=180-90-53=37=angle A of AED

Thus: AA similarity criterion:

EBA is similar to AED

The diagonal of parallelogram(here:rectangle) cut it into 2 congruent triangles

Thus:

EBA is congruent to AFE

EBA is congruent to AFEDCE is congruent to EFD

Congruent triangles are similar

Conclusion:

DCE is similar to AED

EBA is similar to AED

AFE is similar to AED

EFD is similar to AED

How do you distribute 4(x+1)

puteri [66]

Answer:

$4x+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property of multiplication states that $a(b+c)=a*b+a*c$ , where $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ are any real numbers. In the case of $4(x+1)$ , we know that $a=4$ , $b=x$ , and $c=1$ . Therefore, using the distributive property, $4(x+1)=4*x+4*1=4x+4$ . Hope this helps!

Scilla [17]

Answer:

$7x^2+28x$

Step-by-step explanation:

$7x(x+4)\\\\Multiplication\ is\ distributive\ on\ addition\\\\\Rightarrow 7x(x+4)=7(x\times x+x\times 4)\\\\7x(x+4)=7(x^2+4x)\\\\Multiplication\ is\ distributive\ on\ addition\\\\\Rightarrow 7x(x+4)==7\times x^2+7\times 4x\\\\7x(x+4)=7x^2+28x$

A Ferris wheel can accommodate 65 people in 15 minutes. How many people could ride the Ferris wheel in 2 hours? What was that ra

densk [106]

Answer:

520 people in 2 hours

rate = 260 people per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

change minutes to hours

15 minute* 1 hr/60 minutes = .25 hrs

65 people x people

--------------- = ------------------

.25 hrs 2 hrs

using cross products

65 * 2 = .25 * x

130 = .25x

divide by .25

130/.25 = .25x/.25

520 =x

520 people

65 people x people

--------------- = ------------------

.25 hrs 1 hrs

using cross products

65 = .25x

divide by .25

65/.25 = .25x/.25

260 =x

260 people in 1 hour

rate = 260 people per hour
