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.

Slope intercept of (2,-12) and (5,6)
nlexa [21]

Answer:

<em>The slope of the line is m=6.  </em>

<em>The y-intercept is (0,−24).  </em>

<em>The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=6x−24.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line passing through the two points P=(x1,y1) and Q=(x2,y2) is given by m=y2−y1x2−x1.

We have that x1=2, y1=−12, x2=5, y2=6.

Plug the given values into the formula for the slope: m=(6)−(−12)(5)−(2)=183=6.

Now, the y-intercept is b=y1−m⋅x1 (or b=y2−m⋅x2, the result is the same).

b=−12−(6)⋅(2)=−24.

Finally, the equation of the line can be written in the form y=mx+b.

y=6x−24.

Answer:

The slope of the line is m=6.

The y-intercept is (0,−24).

The equation of the line in the slope-intercept form is y=6x−24.

What is the value of x?
charle [14.2K]
Hey Rireneb!

This is a pretty simple Geometry question, so I will explain it in-depth for you to understand clearly! What you have displayed in the image is an isosceles triangle, meaning that both base angles are congruent (to each other). You know that the angle opposite to the base is 93.5, so you can subtract that from 180 and get 180-93.5=86.5
So, your base angles must be equal AND equal 86.5 when added up. So you must do the following, 86.5/2, which would get you to the answer 43.35. So, 43.25 is the value of each base angle, meaning that x = 43.25. Finally, the most appropriate answer to your question would be option 2!

Hope I was able to help! If you need any more help, please let me know and I will further assist you.
