Given :-

Two triangles with their two angles equal .

To Find :-

Measure of AC .

Answer :-

Here in ∆ABC and ∆EDC ,

$\angle$ CAB = $\angle$ CED (given )
$\angle$ CBA = $\angle$ CDE (given)

Therefore by AA similarity criterion , we can say that ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC . Also we know that corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional . So ,

→ AC/EC = BC/DC

→ AC/9 = 8/12

→ AC = 8/12 * 9

→ AC = 6

Hence the measure of side AC is 6 .

I hope this helps.

In your own words, describe the process of multiplying binomials using the FOIL method. You can either write a paragraph describ

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

We can describe FOIL using the distributive property of multiplication. For real numbers x, y, and z the distributive property of multiplication states that

$(x + y)z = xz + yz$

Now let $z = v + w$ , where v and w are real numbers.

Then $(x + y)(v + w) = x(v + w) + y(v + w)$

Here, we can again use the distributive property of multiplication to get

$x(v + w) + y(v + w) = xv + xw + yv + yw$

Hence, it follows that

$(x + y)(v + w) = xv + xw + yv + yw$

This is the method of FOIL (first: xv, outside: xw, inside: yv, last: yw)

For example, $(1 + 2)(3 + 4) = 21 \\\text{and} \\1(3) + 1(4) + 2(3) + 2(4) = 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 = 21$

On a certain IQ test, eleven people averaged a 101.5. A certain reality TV star took

dem82 [27]

Answer:

59.98

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average of a set of numbers, we sum them all together and divide them by the size of the set. Here, we start out with 11 IQ scores. We don't know what they are, but we can still set up an equation with the information we do have. Let's call the sum of those 11 score s. The average must be s/11, which we know is 101.5. With that, we can set up and solve and equation for s:

$\dfrac{s}{11}=101.5\\s=101.5(11)\\s=1116.5$

Let's call the score of the reality TV star r. If we add their score to the set, we now have 12 scores. The sum of those scores is gonna be the sum of the previous scores, 1116.5, plus the reality TV star's score, r. To find the average, we divide the sum by 12. Finally, we're told that this average is exactly 98.04. Putting all of this into an equation gives us

$\dfrac{1116.5+r}{12}=98.04$

We can now solve for r algebraically, first by multiplying both sides by 12:

$1116.5+r=98.04(12)\\1116.5+r=1176.48$

And then subtracting 1116.5 from both sides:

$r=1176.48-1116.5\\r=59.98$

How old is the expanded notation method work

Akimi4 [234]

Well,
For example

2.34 * 10^6 will be....
2,340,000
It is because if you have the positive powers, you move your decimal to the right. In this case the power is 6 so you move your decimal to the right 6 times.
Here's another example

1.23 X 10^-2
The answer will be 0.0123 because you move your decimal two the left two times. The power is negative 2 so you move it to the left.

Final tips: If you have positive power, move it to the right and if you have negative power, move it to the left.
