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

A linear function has the same y-intercept as x + 4y = 12 and its graph contains the point (9,5). Find the slope of the linear f
ziro4ka [17]

The answer is A: a slope of 2/9


First you need to change find the y-intercept by converting the standard form equation to slope-intercept form. The goal is to isolate y:

x + 4y = 12

x + 4y - x = 12 - x

4y = 12 - x

4y / 4 = 12/4 - x

y = 3 - x

Change so that the slope is before the intercept:

y = -x + 3


Now we know that the y-intercept is 3.

Use the slope equation, which is y2 - y1/x2 - x1, is find the slope:

5 - 3/9 - 0 = 2/9


So, the slope is 2/9!

What is 5c + 12d - 6 ? <br> (simplifying algebraic expression)
g100num [7]
The answer should be the same as the question. 5c + 12d -6 is the answer because to simplify,you collect like tersm yet none of these terms are alike to each other ( different variable and exponent) therefore the answer is 5c+12d-6

Consider the expression 2 3 (14x − 3) − 3x( 4 5 + 5). Which statements are true about simplifying this expression? Check all tha
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

1. using the distributive property, the two-thirds would be multiplied to 14x and to –3. 2. combining four-fifths + 5 can be done before multiplying it by 3x. 3. subtracting 3x is the same as adding –3x. (A, B, & E)

30 POINTS!!!!! What is the domain for each function below?
sergeinik [125]

The domain is the set of input values for which the function is real and defined.

Find non negative values for the radicals.

For y = sqrt(3-x) if x is greater than the 3 the value under the square root would be negative which would result in a non real number.

The answer needs to be x <= 3 ( less than or equal to)

For y = sqrt(3x), if x is less than 0, the number under the sqrt root would be negative resulting in a non real number.

The answer is x >= 0 ( greater than or equal to)
