How do I solve this?

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the converse of the Triangle Proportionality Theorem.

If a segment divides two sides of a triangle into proportional lengths, then the segment is parallel to the third side of the triangle.

Here we have triangle CED.

Segment AB divides sides EC and ED.

Side EC is divided into segments EA and AC.

Side ED is divided into segments EB and BD.

Now we check the ratios of the lengths of the segments.

Is EA/AC = EB/BD?

EA/AC = 3.75/5 = 0.75

EB/BD = 4.5/6 = 0.75

Since the ratios are equal, the segment, AB, is parallel to the third side of the triangle, CD.

AB and CD are parallel because when 2 lines in a plane are parallel it means they do not intersect

If the slope of a line is 2 and it's y-intercept is 5, what is the equation of the line? A.x=2y+5 B. Y=5x+2 C. Y=2x+5 D. X=5y+2
Genrish500 [490]
Y= 2x+5
According to the slope int. formula,
y=mx+b
here, slope, m=2
y int, b =5
so, the equation is y=2x+5

The measures of two supplementary angles are (4x + 8) and (6x + 3)º.
Illusion [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

A supplementary angle is an angle that is 180 degrees. We are given two angles that add up to 180, but we need to solve for x first.

The first step is to solve both angles. We know that both angles added together are supplementary, so they are equal to 180.

4x + 8 = unknown angle

6x + 3 = unknown angle

(4x + 8) + (6x + 3) = 180

Because we know a supplementary angle is 180 degrees, we can solve for x to find both angles.

Solve for x.

(4x + 8) + (6x + 3) = 180

10x + 11 = 180

10x = 169

x = 16.9

Now, we know the value of x, so we plug in x for both angles to determine which angle is smaller.

4x + 8

4(16.9) + 8

67.6 + 8 = 75.6 degrees

and the other angle

6x + 3

6(16.9) + 3

101.4 + 3 = 104.4 degrees

Now we know that the smaller angle is 75.6 degrees.

Also, to make sure the math is correct, when plugging in both numbers after finding x, they should add to 180.

75.6 + 104.4 = 180 so we know they are supplementary for sure.

Good luck!
