Answer:
DE = 6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let DE = x cm.
Since DE is parallel to AB therefore by the alternate interior angles theorem, m∠BAD = m∠ADE and m∠ABE = m∠DEB ............(1)
As AD is an angle bisector of ∠A, therefore m∠EAD = m∠DAB ; Since BE is an angle bisector of ∠B ⇒ m∠ABE = m∠EBD.
Therefore, from (1) We get , m∠EAD = m∠ADE and m∠EBD = m∠BED.
So, the triangles ADE and EDB are then isosceles with AE = ED and ED = DB.
So AE = DE = DB = x, and since the perimeter of ABDE is 30 cm, then
12 + x + x + x = 30
⇒ 12 + 3x = 30
⇒ x = 6
Hence, the length of DE is 6 cm.
Let be the two numbers. We have two pieces of information:
(the difference between the two numbers is 2)
(their product is 224)
From the first equation, we can deduce
If we plug this expression in the second equation, we have
If you solve this equation with the usual quadratic formula you get the solutions
So, you have the following couple of solutions, recalling that x is 2 more than y:
