The reasonable estimate for the length of side DE is 3 units

Find the diagram of the question attached. The given triangle ABC and BDE are similar triangles.

Using the similarity theorem of a triangle, this is expressed as:

AC = DE

Using the pythagoras theorem to get the length of AC:

AB^2 = AC^2 + BC^2

5^2 + AC^2 + 4^2

AC^2 = 25 - 16

AC^2 = 9

AC= 3

Since AC = DE, hence the reasonable estimate for the length of side DE is 3 units

Find the area please
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the area of a triangle is given by:

\displaystyle A = \frac{1}{2} bh

In this case, the base is <em>x</em> and the height is <em>y</em>. Hence:

\displaystyle A = \frac{1}{2} xy

We can write the following ratios:

\displaystyle \sin \alpha = \frac{x}{12} \text{ and } \cos \alpha = \frac{y}{12}

Solve for <em>x</em> and <em>y</em>:

\displaystyle x = 12\sin \alpha \text{ and } y = 12\cos \alpha

Substitute:

\displaystyle A = \frac{1}{2}\left(12\sin \alpha\right)\left(12\cos \alpha\right)

And simplify. Hence:

\displaystyle A = 72\sin \alpha \cos\alpha

In conclusion, our answer is D.

Use the substitute method to solve the system of equations.
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

n=-7m-4

14m+2n=-8  

Substitute the first equation into the second one/

14m + 2(-7m - 4) = - 8

14m - 14m - 8 = - 8

- 8 = - 8

This means than m can be anything, and therefore there are an infinite number of possible answers.
