Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Compatible numbers are defined as the numbers which are very close to the numbers that they are replacing that divides evenly into each other.

In the context, we have to estimate the quotient using the compatible numbers in order to estimate 245 divided by 3.

So, estimating 245 as 240 and 3 as 30.

Here, 240 is very close to 245 and 30 is close to 3. So the quotient is the result when we divide 240 by 30 and it divides evenly into 240.

We first divide the non zero parts of each number i.e. 24 by 3 to get the first part of the estimate.

Then we add on the zero if there were left in the problem to get your estimate.

Therefore,

240 / 30 = 8

So here, the quotient is estimated as 8.

Answer:

Part a) alternate interior angles theorem

Part b) vertical angles theorem

Part c) AA Similarity theorem

Part d) triangle ABC is similar with triangle EDC

Part e) The length side b is 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) we know that

The Alternate Interior Angles Theorem states that, when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal , the resulting alternate interior angles are congruent. Each pair of these angles are inside the parallel lines, and on opposite sides of the transversal.

In this problem

The transversal is the segment BD and the parallel lines are AB and DE

$m\angle 1=m\angle 4$ ----> by alternate interior angles theorem

Part b) we know that

Vertical Angles Theorem states that vertical angles are congruent. Vertical Angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines cross.

In this problem, the two lines that cross are BD and AE

$m\angle 5=m\angle 6$ ----> by vertical angles theorem

Part c) we know that

The AA Similarity Theorem states: If two angles of one triangle are congruent to two corresponding angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar

In this problem

triangle ABC is similar with triangle EDC by AA Similarity Theorem

Because

$m\angle 1=m\angle 4$ ----> by alternate interior angles

$m\angle 5=m\angle 6$ ----> by vertical angles

Part d) triangle ABC is similar with triangle EDC by AA Similarity Theorem

see the explanation Part c)

Part e) Find the length of side b

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

we have that

triangle ABC is similar with triangle EDC

Applying proportion

$\frac{BC}{DC}=\frac{AC}{EC}$

substitute the given values

$\frac{2}{DC}=\frac{5}{7.5}$

solve for DC

$DC=2(7.5)/5=3\ cm$

therefore

The length side b is 3 cm
