Answer:
The answer to your question is 12.55 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Adam Cara
height = 159 cm height = 140 cm
shadow = 105 cm shadow = x
Process
1.- To solve this problem use the Thales' theorem
Cara's shadow / Cara's height = Adam's shadow / Adam's height
- Substitution
x / 140 = 105 / 159
-Solve for x
x = 105 (140) / 159
-Simplification
x = 14700 / 159
x = 92.45 cm
Cara's shadow is 92.45 cm long.
2.- If both shadows are in line, then Cara must walk forward
105 - 92.45 cm
12.55 cm
A parallelogram is a rhombus when one of the following conditions is done:
1. All sides of the parallelogram are equal to each other.
2. The diagonals of the parallelogram intersect at a right angle (90°).
3. The diagonals of the parallelogram are the bisectors of its angles.
I hope this helps.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
in tri ADC and tri BDC
∠ADC =∠BDC = 90
DC is common
AD = BD (given)
triangle ADC ≅ tri BDC by SAS congruency
hence AC = BC by CPCT ( congruent parts of congruent triangles)
hence, BC = 13
2/5+1/4 = 8+5/20 = 13/20 ...answer !!!
