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

_____

Answer:

The first option.

Because we're solving for the price of each gallon, x will represent the cost of each gallon. Since 8.4 is the total amount of gallons, multiply 8.4 and x to get $23.94. Solve for x by dividing 23.94 to get $2.85 per gallon. To check this, substitute 2.85 for x into the equation: 8.4 (2.85) = 23.94

we know that

To find out the area of the sidewalk, multiply the length by the width of the sidewalk

The width of the sidewalk is equal to

113.4\ ft-110\ ft=3.4\ ft

or

75.4\ ft-72\ ft=3.4\ ft

The area is equal to

113.4(3.4)+72(3.4)\\385.56+244.8\\630.36\ ft^2
