Point D is on line segment CE. Given CE=11 and CD=9, determine the length DE

1 answer:

7 0

11
•——-•——•
C D E
9 2
Because the line CE is 11, you will need to subtract it by 9 to find line DE.
11-9=2
To check your work you may add 9 and 2 to find out if it comes out to 11 and it does.

The perimeter of a square is equal to the perimeter of an equilateral triangle. The length of a side of the square is given by x

mars1129 [50]

We can use the equation $x=\frac{3}{4} y$ to find the length of the side of a square.

Solution:

Given that, the perimeter of a square is equal to the perimeter of an equilateral triangle.

The length of a side of the square is given by "x"

And the length of a side of the equilateral triangle is given by "y"

Finding the equation to determine value of "x"

The perimeter of a square with side "x" is given as:

$\text { perimeter of a square }=4 \times \text { side }=4 x$

Perimeter of a equilateral triangle with side "y" is given as:

$\text { perimeter of a equilateral triangle }=3 \text { side }=3 y$

Given that perimeter of a square = perimeter of an equilateral triangle

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow 4 x=3 y} \\\\ {\rightarrow x=\frac{3}{4} y}\end{array}$

Hence, we can use the equation $x=\frac{3}{4} y$ to find the length of the side of a square.

Megan has a piece of fabric which is a right triangular shape. The length of leg 1 is 4 m. The length of the other leg is twice

Bess [88]

Answer:

8.94 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorum - $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$ . Use leg 1 as a, leg 2 as b, and the third side as c.

We know leg 1 is 4, and that leg 2 is twice as long as leg 1...

$(4)^2 + (4*2)^2 = c^2$

Now, we use the Order of Operations to find $c^2$ ...

$4^2+8^2=c^2\\16+64=c^2\\80=c^2$

Now, we find the square root of $c^2$ to find c...

$\sqrt{80} =8.94$

So, the length of the third side is 8.94 m.
