Triangle ABC:
<ABC=90°
<ACB=y

Triangle CDE:
<CDE=90°
<DCE=y

The two triangles have two congruent angles, then they are similars, and theirs sides must be proportionals:

Adjacent angle to y / Hypotenuse

Triangle CDE       Triangle ABC
CD/CE             =       BC/AC

Replacing the values:
x/7=(20-x)/21

Solving for x. Cross multiplication:
(21)(x)=(7)(20-x)
21x=140-7x
21x+7x=140-7x+7x
28x=140
28x/28=140/28
x=5

Length of CD = x = 5

Answer: The length of CD is 5

I REALLY need help with these 3 questions plz!!!!
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

6. No. See explanation below.

7. 18 months

8. 16

Step-by-step explanation:

6. To rewrite a sum of two numbers using the distributive property, the two numbers must have a common factor greater than 1.

Let's find the GCF of 85 and 99:

85 = 5 * 17

99 = 3^2 + 11

5, 3, 11, and 17 are prime numbers. 85 and 99 have no prime factors in common. The GCF of 85 and 99 is 1, so the distributive property cannot be used on the sum 85 + 99.

Answer: No because the GCF of 85 and 99 is 1.

7.

We can solve this problem with the lest common multiple. We need to find a number of a month that is a multiple of both 6 and 9.

6 = 2 * 3

9 = 3^2

LCM = 2 * 3^2 = 2 * 9 = 18

Answer: 18 months

We can also answer this problem with a chart. We write the month number and whether they are home or on a trip. Then we look for the first month in which both are on a trip.

2                          home             home

4                          home             home

5                          home             home

6                         trip                home

7                          home             home

8                          home             home

9                          home             trip

16                         home             home

17                         home             home

18                         trip                 trip

Answer: 18 months

8.

First, we find the prime factorizations of 96 an 80.

96 = 2^5 * 3

80 = 2^4 *5

GCF = 2^4 = 16

Answer: 16
