Answer:

DE = 17.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion , that is

\frac{DE}{BC} = \frac{AE}{AC} ( substitute values )

\frac{DE}{12.5} = \frac{15+6}{15} = \frac{21}{15} ( cross- multiply )

15 DE = 262.5 ( divide both sides by 15 )

DE = 17.5 cm

A person with a mass of 92kg is running. They accelerate 1.2 m/s2 as they are getting up to speed. What is their force?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  F = 110.4 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

mass = 92 kg

acceleration = 1.2 m/s²

Force = ?

Process

To solve this problem use Newton's second law which states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables, the net force acting upon the body and the mass of the object.

Formula

              F = ma

-Substitution

              F = (92)(1.2)

-Result

              F = 110.4 N

Bess [88]
The expected value of playing this game = a weighted average of the winnings (or losses) multiplied by the odds of winning: (3/37)3 + (9/37)2 + (25/37054)(-1) = 9/37 + 18/37 - 25/37 = 27/37 -25/37 = 2/37 = about 0.054 winnings = $0.054 = 5.4 cents

Five times the sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 13 less than the original number. If you reverse the digits in the two
Alekssandra [29.7K]
The answer is 9

u - the unit digit
t - the tenth digit
So, the original two digit number will be: 10t + u.
<span>The reversed two-digit number will be: 10u + t
</span>
Five times the sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 13 less than the original number is: 5(u + t) = 10t + u - 13
four times the sum of its two digits is 21 less than the reversed two-digit number: 4(u + t) = 10u + t - 21

Thus, we have two equations:
5(u + t) = 10t + u - 13
4(u + t) = 10u + t - 21
_______________
Multiply the factor:
5u + 5t = 10t + u - 13
4u + 4t = 10u + t - 21
_______________
Rearrange:
5u + 5t - 10t - u = -13
4u + 4t - 10u - t = -21
_______________
4u - 5t = -13
-6u + 3t = -21
_______________
Multiply the first equation by 3, and the second by 2:
4u · 3 - 5t · 3 = -13 · 3
-6u · 2 + 3t · 2 = -21 · 2
________________
12u -15t = -39
-12u + 6t = -42
________________
Add these two equations to make one equation:
12u - 15t - 12u + 6t = -39 - 42
________________
12u can be canceled out:
-9t = - 81
________________
t = -81/-9
<span>t = 9
________________
</span>Replace t in one of the equations:
4u - 5 · 9 = -13
4u - 45 = -13
4u = -13 + 45
4u = 32
u = 32/4
<span>u = 8
</span>
Therefore, t = 9, u = 8
The original two digit number will be: 10t + u = 10·9 + 8 = 90 + 8 = 98
The reversed two-digit number will be: 10u + t = 10·8 + 9 = 80 + 9 = 89

The difference of the original two-digit number and the number with reversed digits is 98 - 89 = 9
