In the diagram below, Triangle ABC~Triangle DEC. if AC=12, DC=7, DE=5 and the perimeter of Triangle ABC is 30, what is the perimeter of Triangle DEC?

i believe the answer is the polygon, heptagon.

answer: you need the equation in the question so i can answer it

step-by-step explanation:

the answer to question 1 is -8, 28.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.
