You have to begin by using the triangle sum therom. That means Angle DEC would be 64°, Angle D would be 76°, and angle C would be 40°
Answer:
-1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
The result can be shown in multiple forms. Exact Form: 385 38 5. Decimal Form: 7.6 7.6. Mixed Number Form: 735 7 3 5. 385 3 8 5 .
Answer:
4a + 3b
Step-by-step explanation:
3a + a + 5b - 2b
3a + s = 4a
5b - 2b = 3b
<em><u>4a + 3b</u></em>
Answer:
the answer is s=5/4 minus 1/16
hope this helps :D
Again, nice problem. These are not super easy. You need to imagine the triangles in the figure and relate sides.
For instance: ADC, its hypotenuse is 15
For ABC, it is 20,
so 20/15 is the ratio between both triangles. Now let's choose the side with 'x'
x is one side of ADC, the corresponding side in ABC is 15 (the second longest sides). You need to rotate the triangles, etc ... That's the tricky part :)
So:
20/15 =15/x ----> x = 15*15/20 = 225/20 = 45/4
Which is C
Not sure whether it's too late to help you though!!!!
Also notice that it's kind of a product rule:
x * 20 = 15 * 15
I am sure the book explains a short way of getting to this equation, like sides opposite, blah blah, but what i told you is the reason. You asked for understanding it! Best luck!
