Answer:

CE = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ m∠D = 90

∵ DK ⊥ CE

∴ m∠KDE = m∠KCD⇒Complement angles to angle CDK

In the two Δ KDE and KCD:

∵ m∠KDE = m∠KCD

∵ m∠DKE = m∠CKD

∵ DK is a common side

∴ Δ KDE is similar to ΔKCD

∴ $\frac{KD}{KC}=\frac{DE}{CD}=\frac{KE}{KD}$

∵ DE : CD = 5 : 3

∴ $\frac{KD}{KC}=\frac{5}{3}$

∴ KD = 5/3 KC

∵ KE = KC + 8

∵ $\frac{KE}{KD}=\frac{5}{3}$

∴ $\frac{KC+8}{\frac{5}{3}KC }=\frac{5}{3}$

∴ $KC + 8 = \frac{25}{9}KC$

∴ $\frac{25}{9}KC - KC=8$

∴ $\frac{16}{9}KC=8$

∴ KC = (8 × 9) ÷ 16 = 4.5

∴ KE = 8 + 4.5 = 12.5

∴ CE = 12.5 + 4.5 = 17

Triangle ABC underwent a sequence of transformations to give triangle A′B′C′. Which transformations could not have taken place?

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

C. a rotation 180° clockwise about the origin followed by a reflection across the line y = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the coordinate of A in triangle ABC is A(x, y)

A) If there is a reflection across line y = x, the new coordinate is at A'(y, x).

If a reflection across the line y = -x is then followed, the new coordinate is at A"(-x, -y)

B) If there is a reflection across line x axis, the new coordinate is at A'(x, -y).

If a reflection across the line y axis is then done, the new coordinate is at

A"(-x, -y)

C) If there is a rotation 180° clockwise about the origin, the new coordinate is at A'(-x, -y).

If a reflection across the line y = x is then followed, the new coordinate is at A"(-y, -x)

D) B) If there is a reflection across line y axis, the new coordinate is at A'(-x, y).

If a reflection across the line x axis is then done, the new coordinate is at

A"(-x, -y)

Since only option C has a different result from the remaining options, hence option C would not five triangle A'B'C'
