AB Is Parallel To CD. What Is The Length Of BE? 3.75 6 3.33 7.5

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is 7.5

Therefore the length of BE is 7.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AB || CD

AE = 5

DE = 2

EC = 3

DC = 1.5

To Find:

BE = ?

Solution:

In Δ ABE and Δ DCE

∠ABE ≅ ∠DCE …………..{ Alternate angles are equal since AB || CD }  

∠AEB ≅ ∠DEC ……….....{Vertical opposite angles are equal}  

Δ ABE ~ Δ DCE….{Angle-Angle Similarity test}  

If two triangles are similar then their sides are in proportion.  

[tex]\dfrac{BE}{CE} =\dfrac{AE}{DE}=\dfrac{AB}{DC} \textrm{corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion}\\[/tex]  

Substituting the values we get

[tex]\dfrac{BE}{CE} =\dfrac{AE}{DE}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{BE}{3}=\dfrac{5}{2}\\\\BE=\dfrac{15}{2}=7.5[/tex]

Therefore the length of BE is 7.5 units

Answer:

y = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) =( 8, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 5)

m = [tex]\frac{-5+3}{0-8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-2}{-8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 5 ) ⇒ c = - 5

y = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x - 5 ← equation of line

[tex] \frac{y - y1}{y2 - y1} = \frac{x - x1}{x2 - x1} \\ \frac{y - ( - 3)}{ - 5 - ( - 3)} = \frac{x - 8}{0 - 8} \\ \frac{y + 3}{ - 2} = \frac{x - 8}{ - 8} \\ - 8(y + 3) = - 2(x - 8) \\ - 8y - 24 = - 2x + 16 \\ 2x - 8y = 40[/tex]

its density is 2 grams per cubic centimeter.
What is the radius of the grape? Round to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.
O 1.0 cm
O 1.5 cm
O 1.9 cm
O 21 cm

Answers

The radius of grape is 1 cm

Solution:

Given that,

The volume of an object is equal to the ratio of its mass to density

[tex]Volume = \frac{mass}{density}[/tex]

From given,

Mass = 8.4 grams

Density = 2 grams per cubic centimeter

Substituting in above formula,

[tex]Volume = \frac{8.4}{2} = 4.2\ cm^3[/tex]

Given is a spherical grape

The formula for volume of sphere is given as:

[tex]Volume = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3[/tex]

Where, "r" is the radius of sphere

[tex]4.2 = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times r^3\\\\4.2 = 4.187 \times r^3\\\\r^3 = \frac{4.2}{4.187}\\\\r^3 = 1.003\\\\\text{Take cube root on both sides}\\\\r = 1.000999 \approx 1[/tex]

Thus the radius of grape is 1 cm

There are 22 people in a room, if everyone shakes everyone else’s hand exactly one time, how many handshakes would that be total?

Answers

There will be 231 handshakes in total

Solution:

There are 22 people in a room

Everyone shakes everyone else’s hand exactly one time

To find: Total number of handshakes in total

Let,

n = total number of people that will shake hands

but since all (total) can't shake hands with themselves, hence we subtract one individual to start the handshaking

(n - 1) = people would each shake hands

hence we multiply both total number persons with people that will shake hands;

n(n - 1)

but that counts every handshake twice, so we have to divide by 2

Therefore;

[tex]\frac{n(n-1)}{2}[/tex]

Here, n = 22

[tex]\frac{n(n-1)}{2} = \frac{22(22-1)}{2} = 11 \times 21 = 231[/tex]

Thus there will be 231 handshakes in total

You open a bank account with $100 and deposit 15 every week. Create an equation to model the total amount of money,y, in dollars, you will need to save after x months. How many weeks will it take to have $250?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Y = 15x+ 100[/tex]

x = 10 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial deposit = $100

Weakly deposit = $15

Solution:

We need to create an equation where total amount is y is equal to initial deposit plus multiplication of weakly deposit and month x, so the equation is written as.

[tex]Y = 15x+ 100[/tex] ---------(1)

Where:

Y = Total amount

x = Number of months.

Second thing we need to find the month for y = $250

Now, we substitute y = 250 in equation 1.

[tex]250 = 15x+ 100[/tex]

[tex]15x=250-100[/tex]

[tex]15x =150[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{150}{15}[/tex]

x = 10 months

Therefore, we need to required 10 months for $250.

A metalworker has a metal alloy that is 15​% copper and another alloy that is 75​% copper. How many kilograms of each alloy should the metalworker combine to create 120 kg of a 51​% copper​ alloy?

Answers

48 kilograms of 15 % copper is combined with 72 kilograms of 75 % copper to create 120 kg of a 51​% copper​ alloy

Solution:

Let "x" be the kilograms of 15 % copper

Then, (120 - x) be the kilograms of 75 % copper

Then, according to question,

"x" kilograms of 15 % copper is combined with (120 - x) kilograms of 75 % copper to create 120 kg of a 51​% copper​ alloy

Thus we frame a equation as:

15 % of x + 75 % of (120 - x) = 51 % of 120

Solve the equation for "x"

[tex]15 \% \times x + 75 \% \times (120-x) = 51 \% \times 120\\\\\frac{15}{100} \times x + \frac{75}{100} \times (120-x) = \frac{51}{100} \times 120\\\\0.15x + 0.75(120-x) = 0.51 \times 120\\\\0.15x + 90 - 0.75x = 61.2\\\\0.6x = 90 - 61.2\\\\0.6x = 28.8\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 0.6\\\\x = 48[/tex]

Thus 48 kilograms of 15 % copper used

Then, (120 - x) = (120 - 48) = 72

Thus, 72 kilograms of 75 % copper is used

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

Given , I invested $500 at 5% simple interest for 2 years.

P=$500,  r =5% and t = 2 years

[tex]Interest (I) =\frac{P \times r \times t}{100}[/tex]

                  [tex]=\$\frac{500 \times 5 \times 2}{100}[/tex]

Thus, given triangles are similar by SAS similarity postulate.

Final answer:

When the triangles RSU and VST are said to be similar, it means the corresponding sides and angles are proportional and equal respectively, which is known as the Angle-Angle criterion for similarity.

Explanation:

If the triangles RSU and VST are similar (RSU ~ VST), it means the corresponding sides and angles of the two triangles are proportional, and the corresponding angles are equal. This is also known as the Angle-Angle (AA) criterion for similarity. The order of the letters signifies the corresponding parts of the triangles. R corresponds to V, S to S, and U to T. So, the angles R and V are congruent, as are the angles U and T. Because we have two pairs of congruent angles, we can say that the triangles are similar by the AA criterion.

Explanation:

The first step to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 16k - 24 is to factor out any common terms. In this case, both 16k and 24 are divisible by 8, so we can factor out an 8: 8(2k - 3). Now, we need to look at the expression inside the parentheses, 2k - 3, and try to factor out any common terms. However, since 2k - 3 does not have any common factors, the GCF of 16k - 24 is simply 8.

5y = 4x + 8
{(-34/7, -16/7)}
{(-34/7, 16/7)}
{(34/7, -16/7)}

Answers

Answer:

{(-34/7, -16/7)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange values, multiply to solve for x.

(5) 2y = 3x + 10

(-2) 5y = 4x + 8

Solve for x.

10y = 15x + 50 ↓

-10y = -8x -16

Combine and evaluate.

0 = 7x + 34

Subtract 34 from both sides.

7x = -34

Divide both sides by 7.

x = [tex]\frac{-34}{7}[/tex]

Plugin x value into either equation to solve for y.

2y = (3 × [tex]\frac{-34}{7}[/tex]) + 10

2y =  [tex]\frac{-106}{7}[/tex] + 10

2y = [tex]\frac{-32}{7}[/tex]

y = [tex]\frac{-16}{7}[/tex]

Final answer:

By rewriting one equation to isolate y and substituting it into the other, the solution to the system of equations is determined to be {(-34/7, 16/7)}.

Explanation:

The solution to the system of equations provided is found by solving the equations simultaneously. We begin by expressing the second equation in terms of y:

Rewrite the second equation:

5y = 4x + 8

y = (4/5)x + 8/5.

Substitute y in the first equation:

3x - 2((4/5)x + 8/5) + 10 = 0.

Simplify and solve for x:

(3 - 8/5)x + (10 - 16/5) = 0

which gives us-

x = -34/7

Substitute x back into y = (4/5)x + 8/5 to find

y = 16/7

Thus, the solution to the system of equations is {(-34/7, 16/7)}.
