Answer:

-1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>[remember: (-)(-) is (+) , (+)(-) is (-) , (+)(+) is (+)]</em>

-2/3 - (-1/2)

⇒ -2/3 + 1/2

LCM of 3 and 2 is 6,

⇒ -2 × 2/3 × 2 + 1 × 3/2 × 3

⇒ -4/6 + 3/6

⇒ -4 + 3 /6

⇒ -1/6

Rhombus ADEF is inscribed into a triangle ABC so that they share angle A and the vertex E lies on the side BC . What is the leng

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Length of side of rhombus is $x=\frac{ab}{a+b}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Rhombus ADEF is inscribed into a triangle ABC so that they share angle A and the vertex E lies on the side BC. We have to find the length of side of rhombus.

It is also given that AB=a and AC=b

Let side of rhombus is x.

In ΔCEF and ΔCBA

∠CEF=∠CBA (∵Corresponding angles)

∠CFE=∠CAB (∵Corresponding angles)

By AA similarity rule, ΔCEF~ΔCBA

∴ their sides are in proportion

$\frac{EF}{AB}=\frac{CF}{AC}$

⇒ $\frac{x}{a}=\frac{b-x}{b}$

⇒ $xb=ab-ax$

⇒ $x(a+b)=ab$

⇒ $x=\frac{ab}{a+b}$

Hence, length of side of rhombus is $x=\frac{ab}{a+b}$

Triangle m is similar to triangle n. Triangle m has two angles with measures of 32°and 93°. Which two angles measures could be i

inysia [295]

Given that triangle m and n are similar, then the implication is the ratio of the corresponding sides are the same and the corresponding angles are equal. This implies that if the two angles of triangle m measure 32° and 93°, then the possible size for the two angles in triangle n will be 32° and 93°.
