Solve for x and y and i will mark brainliest

Mathematics

natali 33 [55]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 10, y = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

\frac{AE}{AC} = \frac{DE}{BC}, substitute values

\frac{x}{4} = \frac{12.5}{5} ( cross- multiply )

5x = 50 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 10

and

\frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{DE}{BC} , that is

\frac{y}{3} = \frac{12.5}{5} ( cross- multiply )

5y = 37.5 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 7.5

Notice that

11/12 = 1/6 + 3/4

so that

tan(11π/12) = tan(π/6 + 3π/4)

Then recalling that

sin(x + y) = sin(x) cos(y) + cos(x) sin(y)

cos(x + y) = cos(x) cos(y) - sin(x) sin(y)

⇒   tan(x + y) = (tan(x) + tan(y))/(1 - tan(x) tan(y))

it follows that

tan(11π/12) = (tan(π/6) + tan(3π/4))/(1 - tan(π/6) tan(3π/4))

tan(11π/12) = (1/√3 - 1)/(1 + 1/√3)

tan(11π/12) = (1 - √3)/(√3 + 1)

tan(11π/12) = - (√3 - 1)²/((√3 + 1) (√3 - 1))

tan(11π/12) = - (4 - 2√3)/2

tan(11π/12) = - (2 - √3) … … … [A]

Given that El bisects ZCEA, which statements must be
Alexxx [7]

Question: Given that BE bisects ∠CEA, which statements must be true? Select THREE options.

(See attachment below for the figure)

m∠CEA = 90°

m∠CEF = m∠CEA + m∠BEF

m∠CEB = 2(m∠CEA)

∠CEF is a straight angle.

∠AEF is a right angle.

Answer:

m∠CEA = 90°

∠CEF is a straight angle.

∠AEF is a right angle

Step-by-step explanation:

Line AE is perpendicular to line CF, which is a straight line. This creates two right angles, <CEA and <AEF.

Angle on a straight line = 180°. Therefore, m<CEA + m<AEF = m<CEF. Each right angle measures 90°.

Thus, the three statements that must be TRUE are:

m∠CEA = 90°

∠CEF is a straight angle.

∠AEF is a right angle

The difference of a number and -6 is less than 9 write an inequality and solve
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

n - (-6) < 9

n < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

When setting up an inequality, using the key words from the problem will help.  The word 'difference' would indicate subtraction and 'less than' would be the '<' inequality sign.  Since the expression is 'the difference of a number and -6', we write:  

n - (-6) < 9

Whenever we subtract a negative number, we change both signs to positive:

n + 6 < 9

Using inverse operations to solve:  n + 6 - 6 < 9 - 6

n < 3
