A defendant was on trial for having committed a murder in 1995. Taking the stand, the defendant denied being present in the city

where the murder occurred at the time of the killing. The prosecution sought to admit into evidence a copy of the local newspaper published the day after the killing. The newspaper contained an article in which the defendant was quoted as stating that he had heard shots on the day of the murder from inside his apartment. The defendant objected to the introduction of this evidence. Should the judge admit the newspaper article into evidence

This is based on who is telling the truth. The defendant denys being in the city at the time of the murder, but then a local newspaper states that he heard gunshots from inside his apartment the day of the murder (which would be impossible if he wasn't in the city at the same of the murder). There could also be a chance that the newspaper could be lying mainly because the defendant  objected that the evidence was correct. In this case, the judge should take this into consideration especially when a local newpaper article announced that the defendant heard gunshots after saying that he was never in the city. So I would say, the newspaper article could be evidence to prove that the defendant is responsible for the murder.

Given AB | | DE. Triangle A B C. Side A B is 12 miles and B C is x miles. Triangle C D E. Side C D is 6 miles and D E is 8 miles
Crank

Answer:

12 miles

Explanation:

Two triangles are similar if their two corresponding angles are congruent (equal) to each other.

if their two corresponding angles are of equal this also means that the third angle is also equal and corresponding.

ΔABC ∼ ΔEDC (two corresponding angles are congruent)

Therefore to find the sides, we use the following proportions:

\frac{AC}{AE}=\frac{BC}{BD}=\frac{DE}{AB}

BC = x miles, CD = 6 miles. Therefore BD = BC + CD = (6 + x) miles

DE = 8 miles, AB = 12 miles

Therefore:

\frac{BC}{BD}=\frac{DE}{AB}\\\frac{x}{x+6}=\frac{8}{12}\\48 + 8x = 12x\\ 12x-8x=48\\4x=48\\ x=48/4=12\\x=12miles
