Answer:
CD = √11 and CE = √11
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that m∠D is 45° (by using the sum of interior angles in a triangle) so therefore, ΔDCE is a 45 - 45 - 90 triangle (the 45, 45, and 90 refer to the angle measures). The ratio of sides in a 45 - 45 - 90 triangle is 1 : 1 : √2 where the 1s are the sides and the √2 is the hypotenuse. We need to solve for x in x : x : √22. If you notice that √22 = √2 * √11, we can use this to find x, therefore, x = 1 * √11 = √11 so CD = √11 and CE = √11.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of the mountain
= Rise in height / Run in distance
= (4215ft - 3720ft) / 5 mi
= 495ft / 5mi
= 99ft/mi. (C)
