Answer:
DE = 6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let DE = x cm.
Since DE is parallel to AB therefore by the alternate interior angles theorem, m∠BAD = m∠ADE and m∠ABE = m∠DEB ............(1)
As AD is an angle bisector of ∠A, therefore m∠EAD = m∠DAB ; Since BE is an angle bisector of ∠B ⇒ m∠ABE = m∠EBD.
Therefore, from (1) We get , m∠EAD = m∠ADE and m∠EBD = m∠BED.
So, the triangles ADE and EDB are then isosceles with AE = ED and ED = DB.
So AE = DE = DB = x, and since the perimeter of ABDE is 30 cm, then
12 + x + x + x = 30
⇒ 12 + 3x = 30
⇒ x = 6
Hence, the length of DE is 6 cm.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The sum of the two positive integer a and b is at least 30, this means the sum of the two positive integer is 30 or greater than 30, so we write the inequalities as below.
The difference of the two integers is at least 10, if b is the greater integer then we subtract integer a from integer b, so we write the inequality as below.
Therefore, the following system of inequalities could represent the values of two positive integers a and b.
