What is the length of DE

Mathematics
1 answer:
HACTEHA [7]2 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

Billy plans to paint baskets. The paint costs $14.50. The baskets cost $7.25. Write an equation that gives the total cost as a f
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Let 'x' represent the number of baskets and let 'y' be the total cost.

Since the paint costs 14.50 and each basket cost 7.25, then we have the following function:

y=7.25x+14.50

To find the cost of 4 baskets, we can make x = 4 and solve for y:

\begin{gathered} x=4 \\ \Rightarrow y=7.25(4)+14.50=29+14.50=43.50 \\ y=43.50 \end{gathered}

therefore, the cost of painting 4 baskets is $43.50

Determine which line is perpendicular to y = - 7/5x-2.​
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

y = 5/7 x  - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

For two lines to be perpendicular, the product of their slope must be -1

The slope of the given function is -7/5

Let the slope of the required function be m

m * -7/5 = -1

7/5 m = 1

7 = 5m

m = 5/7

The slope of the line perpendicular to the line is 5/7

The required equation (using any value of the y-intercept) is expressed as;

y = 5/7 x  - 6

Note that the y-intercept value was assumed and any value can be used
