Answer:
ΔABC ~ ΔDEC
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : DE║AB
Statements Reasons
1). DE║AB 1). Given
2). ∠CDE ≅ ∠CAB 2). Corresponding angles
[Since DE║AB and AC is the transverse]
3). ∠CED ≅ ∠CBA 3). Corresponding angles
[Since DE║AB and BC is the transverse]
4). ΔABC ~ ΔDEC 4). By AA property of similarity
Hence ΔABC is similar to ΔDEC.
Answer:
The first option (5.7km)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have a right angle triangle and we know two of its sides we can easily find out the thirds side (the value of d) by using the Pathagoras Theorem. In our case 7 and d are our legs and the hypotenuse is equal to 9, so...
(Based on the Pathagoras Theorem)



d ≈ 5.7km
There for aproximate distance across the lake is equal to 5.7km
The number is (2√3) / 3
To find the missing number, convert what it says in words to an equation:

Divide both sides by 15:

Take the square root:
D. x-6
That is the correct answer.
