Using Triangle Similarity Theorems (6)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Fantom [35]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

DC = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on triangle similarity theorem, we would have the following equation:

\frac{AD}{AC} = \frac{AE}{AB}

Plug in the values

\frac{9}{9 + DC} = \frac{12}{12 + 4}

\frac{9}{9 + DC} = \frac{12}{16}

\frac{9}{9 + DC} = \frac{3}{4}

Cross multiply

3(9 + DC) = 9×4

27 + 3DC = 36

Subtract 27 from each side

3DC = 36 - 27

3DC = 9

Divide both sides by 3

DC = 9/3

DC = 3

Lee is comparing brands of juice. Brand A
maxonik [38]
<h3>Answer: 3 bottles of brand A</h3>

Explanation:

The pricing/cost information is not used in this problem. All we care about is the number of bottles, and how much each bottle can hold.

Brand A bottles hold 0.95 liters each. We bought 3 of these bottles, so 3*0.95 = 2.85 liters in total are purchased.

Brand B bottles hold 0.55 liters each. Buying 5 of them leads to 5*0.55 = 2.75 liters in total.

Going with the brand A option leads to more juice by 0.10 liters (subtract 2.85 and 2.75)

Which diagram shows lines that must be parallel lines cut by a transversal? 2 horizontal lines are intersected by a third line.
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

  (A)  At the intersection of the first line with the third line, the bottom left angle is 115 degrees. At the intersection of the second line with the third line, the uppercase left angle is 65 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate interior angles are supplementary when parallel lines are crossed by a transversal. The first description seems to be describing alternate interior angles. (See attachment)

_____

<em>Comment on orientation</em>

If the transversal is oriented horizontally, then the descriptions of the angles will be of different angles than assumed here.

Allison was looking at a map with the following scale indicator. 2 inches = 6 miles
xeze [42]

answer: 9

the answer is 9 because 6 ÷ 2 = 3, and if you multiply 3 with 3, you get 9. you multiply the number 3 because you need to find out the distance in miles, and since in inches it is 3, you need to multiply by 3 because that is the formula to get miles.
