Prove that ΔABC and ΔEDC are similar. triangles ABC and DEC where angles A and E are right angles, AC equals 4, AB equals 3, BC

equals 5, DC equals 15, DE equals 9, and CE equals 12 15 over 4 equals 12 over 5 equals 9 over 3 shows the corresponding sides are proportional; therefore, ΔABC ~ ΔEDC by the SAS Similarity Postulate. ∠E and ∠A are right angles; therefore, these angles are congruent since all right angles are congruent. 15 over 5 equals 12 over 4 shows the corresponding sides are proportional; therefore, ΔABC ~ ΔEDC by the SSS Similarity Postulate. ∠E and ∠A are right angles; therefore, these angles are congruent since all right angles are congruent. 12 over 4 equals 9 over 3 shows the corresponding sides are proportional; therefore, ΔABC ~ ΔEDC by the SAS Similarity Postulate. ∠DCE is congruent to ∠BCA by the Vertical Angles Theorem and 15 over 5 equals 12 over 4 shows the corresponding sides are proportional; therefore, ΔABC ~ ΔEDC by the SSS Similarity

Answer:B

Step-by-step explanation:

4E and LA are right angles; therefore, these angles are congruent since all right

angles are congruent. Is - 15 over 5 and 12 over 4shows the corresponding sides are proportional;

therefore, ABC ~ AEDC by the SSS Similarity Postulate.

In the diagram below, AB is parallel to CD. What is the value of x?
garik1379 [7]

The correct answer is: Option (D) x = 72°

Explanation:

When two lines are crossed by another line, the angles in matching corners are called <em>corresponding angles</em>. When the two lines are <em>parallel</em>, the corresponding angles are <em>equal</em>.

Here in this case, the two lines are "AB" and "CD", and both are parallel and are crossed by the line; therefore, <em>the corresponding angles will be the same</em>.

Since the first corresponding angle is 72°, the second angle <em>x </em>will be 72° as well. The correct answer is: x = 72° Option (D).

Solve the compound inequality.
aivan3 [116]

Option D:

x

Solution:

Given compound inequality:

6-x>15 \text { or } 2 x-9 \geq 3

Let us first solve 6-x>15.

Subtract 6 from both sides.

6-x-6>15-6

-x>9

To reverse the inequality multiply by -1  on both sides.

(-x)(-1)

x

Now solve the next inequality 2 x-9 \geq 3.

Add 9 on both sides.

2 x-9+9 \geq 3+9

2 x \geq 12

Divide by 2 on both sides.

$\frac{2 x}{2} \geq \frac{12}{2}

x \geq 6

Combine the inequality.

x

Option D is the correct answer.
