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.

$28-21=7$

$AD=7$

A builder buys bricks at the rate of $4.50 per brick for the first 10, $3.50 per brick for the next 10, and $2.50 for any additi

iogann1982 [59]

If the first 10 bricks come out at $ 4.5, I would be spending $ 45. The other 10 bricks come out at $ 3.5 so he would be spending $ 35. Therefore, he has $ 20 available to buy bricks at $ 2.5, which would be buying 8 additional bricks. Thus, in total, with $ 100, 28 bricks were purchased.
