What is the length of DE

Mathematics
1 answer:
HACTEHA [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

DE = 20units

Step-by-step explanation:

In Δ ABC,

angle A is congruent to angle B.... (given)

therefore, ΔABC is an isoceles triangle.

therefore, CA = CB..... (side opposite to congruent angles are congruent in an isoceles triangle)

therefore, CB = 4 units

In ΔCDE,

angle D is congruent to angle E.... (given)

therefore, ΔCDE is an isoceles triangle.

therefore, CD = CE

therefore, CD = 8 units

ΔCDE ~ ΔCBA

therefore,

\frac{cd}{cb}  =  \frac{ce}{ca} =  \frac{de}{ab}   \\ therefore \:  \frac{8}{4}  =  \frac{8}{4}  =  \frac{de}{10 }  \\ therefore \\  \frac{2}{1 }  =  \frac{de}{10 }  \\ de \:  = 2 \times 10 = 20units

Rudik [331]
No it is not, whatsoever.

$1 for 2 cups. 14 cups in an afternoon means they got $7. If they did this for three days (7 x 3) they'd have 21 dollars. it is not reasonable because 21 is nowhere near 50.

Hope this helps
