To find a,construct a line that parallel to AB and DE cutting c, which you could refer to the photo((sorry for my terrible diagram ^^;;
from the photo,we can see that
a= <BCG + <GCE
<BCG=44° (alt.<, AB//FG)
<GCE=20° (alt<, FG//DE)
thus,a= 44°+20° =64°
hope it helps!
"y varies directly as x" means y = kx
you do not know what k is yet, other than that it is some constant number.
Now plug in the given values, y=12 when x=4, in the equation
12 = 4k
=> k = 3
Now rewrite the equation with the k value you just found
y = 3k
Substitute 18 in place of x
y = 3(18)
y = 54
Hello :
2145 = 11×13×3×5 ( prime factorisation product)
2145 = 11×13×15
the <span>three consecutive odd numbers whose product is 2145 are : 11 , 13 ,15</span>
