Ineed a the answer ! geometry is hard

36

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle FED and Triangle AEC are similar.

That means, the ratio of corresponding sides are equal. Thus we can say:

Also, since EC is 39 and D is the midpoint, ED and DC are half of that. Hence ED = 39/2 = 19.5

Now we can use the ratio to solve for AC:

Hence, AC = 36

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

imma say 16%. sorry if its wrong. i'm doing the same stuff right now
