Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
p = 7.2
q = 6.4
Step-by-step explanation:
if the triangles are similar then the side lengths must be proportional :
AC/BA = CD/BE
9/5 = p/4 cross multiply expressions
5p = 36 divide both sides by 5
p = 7.2
same goes for q
9/5 = (q+8)/8 cross multiply expressions
72 = 5(q+8) divide both sides by 5
14.4 = q+8 subtract 8 from both sides
6.4 = q
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Swap sides:

Multiply both sides by 5:


The exponent of 10x10 is 100
Answer:
A. 4x²+20x+25
Step-by-step explanation:
Because of PEMDAS, you calculate the value inside of the parenthesis first, so you expand [2x+1-(4x+6)]:
2x+1-4x-6 = -2x-5.
Then apply the exponent:
(-2x-5)² = (-2x-5)(-2x-5) = 4x²+10x+10x+25 = 4x²+20x+25
