1. Wendy wants to find the width, AB, of a river. She walks along the edge of the river 300 ft and marks point C. Then she walks

80 ft further and marks point D. She turns 90° and walks until her location, point A, and point C are collinear. She marks point E at this location, as shown.
(a) Can Wendy conclude that ΔABC and ΔEDC are similar? Why or why not?
(b) Suppose DE = 50 ft. Calculate the width of the river, AB. Show all your work.

It can be deduced that the triangles are similar because the three internal angles are equal for both triangles.

<h3>How to solve the triangle?</h3>

It should be noted that the triangles are similar because the three internal angles are equal.

In this case, the ratio of the corresponding sides are equal and the corresponding angles are congruent.

The width of the river will be:

300/80 = AB/50

AB = (300 × 50)/80

AB = 187.50 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

7)Fraction of apple pie after eaten by Jeremy = 1 - (1/3) = 2/3

Fraction of pie eaten by  Sara

= \dfrac{1}{4}*\dfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\= \dfrac{1}{2*3}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{6}

8)

Fraction \ of \ allowence \ spent \ on \ magazines = \dfrac{5}{8}*\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{5*1}{4*3}=\dfrac{5}{12}

Fraction left = 1 -\dfrac{5}{12}=\dfrac{12}{12}-\dfrac{5}{12}=\dfrac{12-5}{12}=\dfrac{7}{12}

An elevator in a mine shaft is stopped at a .25 feet below ground level. And then travels 28 feet downward. What equation can be
ankoles [38]

Correct question:

An elevator in a mine shaft is stopped at 25 feet below ground level. And then travels 28 feet downward. What equation can be written to find the final position in feet of the elevator in relations to ground level?

Answer:

-53 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial stop point = 25 feets below ground level

Further distance traveled = 28 feets below ground level

Final position in feet = Initial stop point + further distance traveled

Note : distances or point traveled below ground level or downward is represented as negative.

Final position in feets = (-25)feets + (-28)feets

Final position in feets = - 53 feets
