There are two triangles here: ABC and ADF. These triangles are similar, and thus proportional. So, we can set up a proportion between the left side of each triangle and the base of each triangle.

AB / AD = BC / DE

4 / (4 + BD) = 5 / 9

---AD is made up of AB and DB. We know AB, but not BD, so we need to find its value to find the length of AD.

5(4 + BD) = 9 x 4

20 + 5BD = 36

5BD = 16

BD = 3.2

AD = AB + BD

AD = 4 + 3.2

AD = 7.2

Hope this helps!

Please help!!! I’m so confused on how to solve this!
-Dominant- [34]

Let's first write the equation given

x²+6x-13=0

They have told us to use "Completing the square" method.

So we need write x²+6x-13 as a whole square.

x²+6x-13=0

x²+(2*3*x)-9-4 = 0

x²+(2*3*x)-3²=4

Now we can write the LHS as:

(x - 3)²=2²

Hence,

x-3 can either be 2 or -2

Now,

x - 3=2

x=5

Or,

x - 3=-2

x=1

Therefore now we know that x can either be 1 or  5. So the correct answer is  Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

You first start by finding the acceleration of the problem.

a=f/m

Which this case is 45.

The question is asking " How many times greater must it be than A?"

You then divide

45/9

Your final answer is 5.
