Let AB // ED , AB = 10 units, AC = 12 units, and DE = 5 units. What is the length of AD?
1 answer:
Answer:
length of CD = 18 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
In ΔABC and ΔCED,
AB║DE and AD is a transversal line,
m∠ABC = m∠CED [Alternate interior angles]
m∠ACB = m∠DCE [Vertically opposite angles]
ΔABC ~ ΔCED [By AA property of similarity]
Therefore, by the property of similar triangles, corresponding sides will be proportional.
CD = 6
Since, AD = AC + CD
AD = 12 + 6
= 18 units
Therefore, length of CD = 18 units.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
116f) 5 - |p + 6| = -8
|p + 6| = 13
p + 6 = 13 OR p + 6 = -13
p = 7 OR p = -19
In this case, I think you have to plot a point at 7 and -19.
116a) |7x| = 5
7x = 5 OR 7x = -5
x = OR x =
Again, I think you need to plot points at and
