Answer:
Hence proved △ABE∼△CBF.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
ABCD is a parallelogram.
BF ⊥ CD and
BE ⊥ AD
To Prove : △ABE∼△CBF
We have drawn the diagram for your reference.
Proof:
Since ABCD is a parallelogram,
So according to the property of parallelogram opposite angles are equal in measure.
⇒1
And given that BF ⊥ CD and BE ⊥ AD.
So we can say that;
⇒2
Now In △ABE and △CBF
∠A = ∠C (from 1)
∠E = ∠F (from 2)
So by A.A. similarity postulate;
△ABE∼△CBF
To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.
If you are asking how many times 48 goes into 4896 it is 102
4896÷48= 102
hopefully it helps ;)

Answer: 16/33</h3>
It's in p/q form where p = 16 and q = 33.
=======================================================
Work Shown:
x = 0.484848.....
100x = 48.4848.....
I multiplied both sides by 100 to move the decimal over 2 spots. Both decimal values for x and 100x have an infinite string of "48"s repeated after the decimal point. When we subtract, those infinite strings will cancel out
100x - x = 99x
48.4848..... - 0.484848..... = 48
So after subtracting straight down, we have the new equation 99x = 48 which solves to x = 48/99
Divide both parts by the GCF 3 to fully reduce
48/3 = 16
99/3 = 33
Therefore, x = 48/99 = 16/33 = 0.484848...
I recommend using a calculator to confirm that 16/33 = 0.484848...
Side note: your calculator may round the last digit, but this is of course rounding error
2 and 12 both correspond with angle 5
