Answer:

AD = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the two triangles are similar by the SSS (side side side) postulate, the triangles share the same ratios when it comes to their sides.

We know the values for lines DB, EB and CB, therefore we can solve for AB, and subtract DB to find AD

We can solve the problem by solving for x:

$\frac{x}{32} =\frac{21}{24}$

Cross multiply.

$24x = 672$

Simplify.

$x=28$

Subtract the value of DB to find AD.

$28-21=7$

$AD=7$

Round to the nearest thousand, 5870

andrew11 [14]

Answer: 5870 rounded to the nearest thousand is 6000

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, when we round we have to be careful with the place value they are asking you to round to. Here, they want you to round to the thousands place. So, you have to look at the hundreds.

5870. 800 is the hundreds, and it is greater than “5”. So, you round to the next thousands. It happens to be 6000.

<em>Hence, 5870 rounded is 6000.</em>

Jim's backyard is a rectangle that is 15 5/6 yards long and 10 2/5 yards wide. Jim buys sod in pieces that are 1 1/3 long and 1

ser-zykov [4K]

The are of his backyard is 10.4 times 15.83 or 164.632 yd^2
the sod piecs are 1.33 by 1.33 or 1.78 yd^2
so divide 164.632 by 1.78 or
164.632/1.78=92.5 pieces of sod
if he is buying the sod in pieces, he will have to buy 93 pieces because he can't buy 1/2 sod

How does the graph of f(x)=x² compare with the graph of f(x)=|x²|

gladu [14]

Answer:

They are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graphs are same because <em>x</em>² is always positive, so the absolute value part is redundant.
