If points a, b,c, d and ,e are collinear and in that order. find ac if ae = x+50 and ce=x+32

Hence, we get:   AC= 18

It is given that:

A,B,C,D and E are  collinear and in that order.

Also, we are asked to find the length of the line segment AC.

given that the length of the line segment AE is:

           AE=x+50

and the length of the line segment CE is given by:

           CE=x+32

Now we know that:

the length of the line segment AC is length of line segment AE minus the length of the line segment CE.

i.e.

on opening the parentheses term we have:

step-by-step explanation:

the areas of two similar triangles are 18 cm2 and 8 cm2. one of the sides of the first triangle is 4.5 cm. what is the length of the corresponding side of the other triangle?
