Answer:

6 dm

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle DBE is similar to triangle ABC, so their side lengths are proportional.

DE/AC = DB/AB

The length of DB can be found from ...

DB +AD = AB

DB = AB -AD = (15 -10) dm = 5 dm

So, we can fill in the proportion:

DE/(18 dm) = (5 dm)/(15 dm)

DE = (18 dm)·(1/3) . . . . . . . . . . simplify, multiply by 18 dm

DE = 6 dm

_____

It can be helpful to draw and label a figure.

Select the two binomials that are factors of this trinomial.

x_2 + 8x + 12

\huge{ \mathfrak{  \underline{Answer   : }}}

  • {x}^{2}  + 8x + 12

  • {x }^{2}  + 6x + 2x + 12

  • x (x + 6) + 2(x + 6)

  • (x  + 2)(x + 6)

We got the factors as :

A. \: (x + 6)

and

D. \:  (x + 2)
