Since bc is parallel to de, triangles abc and ade are similar. what are the lengths of the unknown sides? a. ac = 14 cm; ce = 8 cm b. ac = 12 cm; ce = 7 cm c. ac = 10 cm; ce = 5 cm d. ac = 5 cm; ce = 10 cm

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: find BC

Given Triangles ABC and ADE are similar,

=

BC = x DE

= x 9

= 6 cm

Step 2: use Pythagorean theorem to find AC and / or AE

Consider triangle ABC,

by Pythagorean theorem,

AB² + BC² = AC²

AC² = 6² + 8² = 100

AC = √100 = 10 (answer... we can see that C is the only one with AC=10.

Step 3: Verify.. even though we know that it is C because AC  = 10,  you can verify that the ansewer is correct by finding CE and confirming that CE=5

By using similar triangles ABC and ADE,

AC/AE = AB / AD

AE = AD/AB x AC = 12/8 x 10 = 15

CE = AE - AC = 15 - 10 = 5 (answer confirmed)

john got lost so he didn't know what to do and it was crazy because he didn't except it

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation: so we look at the formula un = a + (n-1)d

un is the amount of seats

n is the nth term aka row number

a is the original sequence/row number

d is the difference between each term

so in this a=22 d=6 and n can remain as n because we are simply formjng a rule

lets put these in the equation

un=22+(n-1)(6)

this is your answer to part a

however

lets double check that this is correct, we'll try putting it into the second term

un=a+(n-1)d

u2=22+(2-1)(6)

u2=22+6

u2=28

as the question said the second row has 28 seats so now we know the formula we made is correct.

as for part b

un=a+(n-1)

its asking us to find a row with 100 seats.

remember un was the amount of seata so all we do is substitute this in.

un=100 a=22 d=6

un=a+(n-1)d

100=22+(n-1)(6)

so now we simplify to find n which is the row number.

100-22=22+(n-1)(6)-22

78=(n-1)(6)

78/6=(n-1)(6)/6

13=n-1

13+1=n-1+1

14=n

so now we know that in the 14th row there is 100 seats.

hope this and that you understood! its my first time using the app or anyone out on here : p its also me to revise so a bunch! ask more questions if you dont understand ☺
