If BC = 5, DE = 9, and AB = 4, what is the length of AD? 7 8 7.2 7.5

Mathematics

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!

The volume of a cylinder is 980pi in3. The radius is 7 in. What is its height?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

D) 20 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by

V = pi r^2 h  where r is the radius and h is the height

Substituting what we know

980 pi = pi (7)^2 h

Divide each side by pi

980 pi /pi= pi 49 h/pi

980 = 49h

Divide each side by 49

980/49 = 49h/49

20 =h
