Answer:
a) ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC by AA similarity
b) ED/AB = 3/4
c) 15 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Two angles in each triangle are the same, so the AA similarity postulate can be used to declare the ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC. (Each triangle includes a right angle and angle C.)
__
b) Corresponding sides are ED/AB, DC/BC, EC/AC. The ratio of corresponding sides is ED/BC = (12 cm)/(16 cm) = 3/4.
__
c) Using the ratios identified above, we have ...
DC/BC = 3/4 = x/(20 cm)
x = 3/4(20 cm)
x = 15 cm
Answer:
50 gluten-free cupcakes and 100 regular cupcakes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define the variables:
R = number of regular cupcakes sold
G = number of gluten-free cupcakes sold
The total amount of money raised then is:
M = R*$2.00 + G*$3.00
We also know that:
The number of regular cupcakes sold was 2 times the number of gluten-free cupcakes sold.
then:
R = 2*G
And we also know that the amount of money raised is $350
Then we have the equations:
R = 2*G
R*$2.00 + G*$3.00 = $350
We can replace the first equation into the second one, so we have only one variable:
(2*G)*$2.00 + G*$3.00 = $350
Now we can solve this for G.
G*$4.00 + G*$3.00 = $350
G*$7.00 = $350
G = $350/$7.00 = 50
G = 50
50 gluten-free cupcakes where sold.
And using the equation:
R = 2*G = 2*50 = 100
We can conclude that 100 regular cupcakes were sold.
