Answer:

EF = 20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the length of EF

To do this, we use the principle of similar triangles

The similar triangles we are considering here will be ;

FEA and FBD

when two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

Let us calculate DC first

we can use Pythagoras’ theorem here and it is that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of the two other sides

Using the triangle EDC

15^2 = 12^2 + DC^2

DC^2 = 225-144

DC^2 = 81

DC = 9

So the entire length of BD is 9 + 12 = 21 cm

Thus, we have it that;

Let EF be x

so DF = 15 + x

Hence;

BD/DF = AE/EF

21/15+x = 12/x

21x = 12(15 + x)

21x = 180 + 12x

21x-12x = 180

9x = 180

x = 180/9

x = 20 cm

EF = 20 cm

Ben is 9 years younger than his brother Jeff. in 10 years, the sum of their ages will be 67 how old are they now​
Eddi Din [679]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's represent Ben's age with a B and Jeff's with a J in a few equations below.

B=J-9                               (Ben is 9 years younger than Jeff)

B+10+J+10=67                  (In 10 years, the sum of their ages will be 67)

We know that B is equal to J-9. So, in the second equation, we can replace B with J-9 to solve for J.

J-9+10+J+10=67

We combine like terms.

2J+11=67

We subtract 11 from both sides.

2J=56

We divide both sides by two.

J=28

And, we know that Ben is nine years younger than Jeff, so this means Ben is 19 years old.

Ben is 19 years old and Jeff is 28.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
