The ratio of one triangle to the other (because they are similar, since the top angles are both 44 degrees and the two sides on the other sides of them are the same) is 12:8, or 3:2.
So therefore, we can say it's 9:6, so DE is 6.
In general if multiplying, move decimal to RIGHT by whatever the exponent is.
In this example 10^1, the exponent = 1
9.4 with decimal moved 1 place to right = 94
Answer:
∠3 = 18°
∠4 = 144°
∠2 = 36°
∠1 = 72°
Step-by-step explanation:
From the concept of alternate interior angles,
∠3 = 18°
Since the diagonal divides the rectangle into 4 parts with 2 of the rectangles being similar.
Then, the triangle with ∠3 & ∠4 is an Isosceles triangle and as such;
∠4 = 180 - 2(∠3)
∠4 = 180 - 2(18)
∠4 = 180 - 36
∠4 = 144°
∠2 = 180 - ∠4 (because sum of angles on a straight line is 180°)
∠2 = 180 - 144
∠2 = 36°
Like it was done for angle ∠4 above;
∠1 = (180 - 36)/2
∠1 = 144/2
∠1 = 72°
