Let Alex's height = a.

Let Ben'x height = b.


a + b = 130

b - a = b/3


Subtract b/3 from both sides int he second equation to obtain:

(2/3)b - a = 0


Add this new equation to the first original equation.


(5/3)b = 130


b = 130 * 3/5


b = 78


a + b = 130


a + 78 = 130


a = 130 - 78


a = 52


Answer: Alex's height is 52 inches, and Ben's height is 78 inches.

use the guide to construct a two column proof proving △aec≅△deb, given that ca is parallel to db and e is the midpoint of ad. gi
MrMuchimi

By using the AAA congruence property of Triangles, △aec≅△deb is proved

It is given two triangles, Δaec and Δdeb, where e is the common point known as the midpoint of ad

Also, it is given that,

ca ║db

We need to prove that, △aec≅△deb

Then we'll use AAA congruence property of Triangles to prove the situation

As ca ║db

then, ∠cae = ∠ebd  (Alternate angles)

∠ace = ∠edb (Alternate angles)

and ∠aec = ∠deb (common angles)

Thus, by AAA congruence property, △aec≅△deb

Hence, proved

In the adjoining figure, the parallel lines are marked by arrow lines. The value of angle 1 is:
dlinn [17]

Answer:

20°

Step-by-step explanation:

40°, 70° and 90° are the measures of the three angles of the quadrilateral.

Measure of fourth angle of the Quadrilateral

= 360° - (40° + 70° + 90°)

= 360° - 200°

= 160°

Measure of angle 1 will be equal to the measure of the linear pair angle of 160° as they are corresponding angles.

Thus,

m\angle 1 = 180\degree- 160\degree

\implies\huge\purple{\boxed{ m\angle 1 = 20\degree}}

Alternate method:

m\angle 1 = 180\degree- [360\degree-(40\degree+70\degree+90\degree)]

\implies m\angle 1 = 180\degree- [360\degree-200\degree]

\implies m\angle 1 = 180\degree- 160\degree

\implies m\angle 1 = 20\degree

Last question of my homework pls &lt;3​
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

J(2, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the section formula

x_{J} = \frac{1(-2)+2(4)}{2+1} = \frac{-2+8}{3} = \frac{6}{3} = 2

y_{J} = \frac{1(1)+2(7)}{2+1} = \frac{1+14}{3} = \frac{15}{3} = 5

Thus J = (2, 5 )
