(a) A pentagon ABCDE has sides AE and CD parallel and the line EC
is parallel to side AB. Sides ED and BC, when extended, meet at a
point F. ZABC is equal to ZCDE. Show that ZAEC = ZCFD.
(b) If, furthermore, triangles EDC and DFC are both isosceles, with
ED = DC and DF = FC, find the angles of the pentagon.
Answers
(a) ∠AEC = ∠CFD, by transitive property of equality
(b) ∠CDE = 108°, ∠DCB = 108°, ∠ABC = 108°,∠EAB = 144°, ∠AED = 72°
The reason the above values are correct is as follows:
(a) The given parameters are;
Figure ABCDE is a pentagon
The sides AE is parallel to side CD
Line EC is parallel to side BC
The point of intersection of the extension off side ED and BC = Point F
∠ABC = ∠CDE
Required:
To show that ∠AEC = ∠CFD
Method:
Draw the pentagon ABCDE and include the added construction
Analyze the drawing
Solution:
∠ECF and ∠ABC are corresponding angles between parallel lines EC ║BC
∴ ∠ECF ≅ ∠ABC by corresponding angles formed by parallel lines are congruent
∠ECF = ∠ABC by definition of congruency
∠ABC = ∠CDE = ∠ECF by transitive property
∠ECD ≅ ∠AEC by alternate angles formed between parallel lines having a common transversal
∠ECD = ∠AEC by definition of congruency
∠ECF = ∠FCD + ∠ECD by angle addition postulate
∠CDE = ∠FCD + ∠CFD by exterior angle theorem
From ∠CDE = ∠ECF above, we have;
∠ECF = ∠FCD + ∠ECD = ∠FCD + ∠CFD
∴ ∠ECD = ∠CFD by addition property
∠ECD = ∠AEC, therefore;
∠AEC = ∠CFD, by transitive property
(b) Given that ΔEDC and ΔDFC are both isosceles triangles, with sides;
ED = DC, and DF = FC;
Let r represent ∠CFD, we have;
∠FCD = ∠CDF by base angles of isosceles triangle ΔDFC
∠ECD = ∠CED by base angles of isosceles triangle ΔEDC
∠AEG = ∠CDE by corresponding angles formed by parallel lines having a common transversal
∠AEC = ∠ECD by alternate angles
∴ ∠AEG + ∠AEC + ∠CED = 180° Sum of angles on a straight line
∠CDE = ∠CFD + ∠FCD
∠CDE + ∠CDF = 180° (linear pair angles)
∴ ∠AEG + ∠CDF = 180° by transitive property
∠AEC + ∠CED = ∠CDF by transitive property
∠AEC = ∠ECD = ∠CED = ∠CFD = r
∴ ∠CFD + ∠CFD = ∠CDF
2·r = ∠CDF
∠CDE = ∠FCD + ∠CFD
∠FCD = ∠CDF = 2·r
∴ ∠CDE = 2·r + r = 3·r
∠CDE = 3·r
The angles of the pentagon are;
∠CDE + ∠DCB + ∠ABC + ∠EAB + ∠AED = 540° sum of angles in a pentagon
∠DCB = 180° - ∠FCD
∠DCB = 180° - 2·r
∠ABC = ∠CDE = 3·r
∠EAB = ∠CEH corresponding angles
∠CEH = 180 - ∠AEC
∴ ∠EAB = 180° - ∠AEC
∴ ∠EAB = 180° - r
∠AED = ∠AEC + ∠CED = r + r = 2·r
∠AED = 2·r
Therefore, we have;
3·r + 180° - 2·r + 3·r + 180° - r + 2·r = 540°
5·r + 360° = 540°
r = (540° - 360°)/5 = 36°
r = 36°
∠CDE = 3 × 36° = 108°
∠DCB = 180° - 2×36° = 108°
∠ABC = 3 × 36° = 108°
∠EAB = 180° - 36° = 144°
∠AED = 2 × 36° = 72°

Answers
Answer:
k=2
Problem:
if the equation x^2 +(k+2)x+2k=0 has equal roots,then the value of k is ..
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the coefficient of x^2 is 1, we can use this identity to aid us: x^2+bx+(b/2)^2=(x+b/2)^2.
So we want the following:
[(k+2)/2]^2=2k
Apply the power on the left:
(k+2)^2/4=2k
Multiply both sides by 4:
(k+2)^2=8k
Expand left side:
k^2+4k+4=8k *I used identity (x+c)^2=x^2+2xc+c^2
Subtract 8k on both sides:
k^2-4k+4=0
Factor using the identity mentioned a couple lines above:
(k-2)^2=0
Since zero squared is zero, we want k-2=0.
Adding both sides by 2 gives k=2.

If Wade has 2 times as many dimes as quarters and they have a combined value of 270 cents, how many of each coin does he have?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If he has twice the number of dimes as quarters, then obviously he has more dimes than quarters. The expression that represents that is
d = 2q
That relates the NUMBER of coins; now we need one that relates the VALUE which is a dollars and cents thing. We know that the combined value of the coins is $2.70. The expression that represents this is
.1d + .25q = 2.70 because dimes are worth .10 and quarters are worth .25
Subbing the first equation into the second gives us
.1(2q) + .25q = 2.70 and
.2q + .25q = 2.70 and
.45q = 2.70 so
q = 6
This means he has 6 quarters. If the umber of dimes is twice as much, then d = 2(6) and d = 12.
He has 6 quarters and 12 dimes
Joshua is 1.45 meters tall. At 2 p.m., he measures the length of a tree's shadow to be 31.65 meters. He stands 26.2 meters away from the tree, so that the tip of his shadow meets the tip of the tree's shadow. Find the height of the tree to the nearest hundredth of a meter .
Answers
Answer:
height of the tree ≈ 8.42 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram given represents that of two similar triangles. Therefore, the corresponding lengths of the similar triangles are proportional to each other.
height of tree = h
Therefore:
1.45/h = (31.65 - 26.2)/31.65
1.45/h = 5.45/31.65
Cross multiply
h*5.45 = 1.45*31.65
h*5.45 = 45.8925
h = 45.8925/5.45
h ≈ 8.42 m (nearest hundredth)

The path of a projectile launched from a 20-ft-tall tower is modeled by the equation y = -5x2 + 40x + 20. What is the maximum height, in meters
reached by the projectile?
Answers
Answer:
30.49 m
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the maximum height, we solve for the value x when dy/dx = 0.
Since, y = -5x² + 40x + 20
dy/dx = d[-5x² + 40x + 20]/dx
dy/dx = -10x + 40
Since dy/dx = 0,
-10x + 40 = 0
-10x = -40
x = -40/-10
x = 4
Substituting x = 4 into the equation for y, we have
y = -5x² + 40x + 20
y = -5(4)² + 40(4) + 20
y = -5(16) + 160 + 20
y = -80 + 160 + 20
y = 80 + 20
y = 100 ft
Since y is in feet, we convert to meters.
Since 1 m = 3.28 ft, 100 ft = 100 ft × 1 m/3.28 ft = 30.49 m
So, the maximum height, in meters reached by the projectile is 30.49 m

Answer:
x = his sister's height = 19 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = his sister's height
Jahlil's height is given by the equation:
4x - 6 = 70
4x = 70 + 6
4x = 76
x = 76/4
x = 19 inches
x = his sister's height = 19 inches
Check:
4x - 6 = 70
4(19) - 6 = 70
76 - 6 = 70
70 = 70
Jacob and sumalee each improved their yards by planting daylilies and geraniums. They bought their supplies from the same store. Jacob spent $107 on 11 daylilies and 4 geraniums. Sumalee spent $60 on 4 daylilies and 12 geraniums. Find the cost of one daylilies and the cost of one geranium.
Answers
Answer:
Daylily: $9
Geranium: $2
Step-by-step explanation:
1 daylily costs x.
1 geranium costs y.
11x + 4y = 107
4x + 12y = 60
Multiply the first equation by 3 and subtract the second equation from it.
29x = 261
x = 9
4x + 12y = 60
4(9) + 12y = 60
12y = 24
y = 2
Answer:
Daylily: $9
Geranium: $2
Answer:
1) Set up a system of equations. Assign each plant a variable. I used X for Daylillies and Y for Geraniums. In this case:
11x + 4y = 107
4x + 12y = 60
2) Get one variable by itsef. You can choose to either get the X or the Y by itself. For the sake of ease, I'll go with achieving X.
3) Using the equation 4x + 12y = 60, isolate the 4x.
4x = -12y + 60
4) Divide both sides by 4.
x = -3y + 15
5) X is isolated. Now plug in that isolated X into another remaining equation in order to isolate Y. Don't forget to combine like terms.
11(-3y + 15) + 4y = 107
-33y + 165 + 4y = 107
-29y + 165 = 107
-29y = -58
y = 2
6) You have your Y, which means that each Geranium costs $2 each. Now, you need to find X. Plug in Y into any of the first two equations that we started with.
4x + 12(2) = 60
4x + 24 = 60
4x = 36
x = 9
7) You now have both X and Y. Daylillies cost $9 each, and Geraniums cost $2 each.
8) You can double-check your answers by plugging in your final X and Y values into any of the first equations you wrote. If it comes out equal, it works.

Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

(2x-3y+4z)²=(2x)²+(-3y)²+(4z)²+2(2x)(-3y)+2(-3y)(4z)+2(4z)(2x)
=4x²+9y²+16z²-12xy-24yz+16zx
We know that,
→ (a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
Now Putting 2x = a, -3y = b and 4z = c , we get
→ (2x - 3y + 4z)²
→ (2x)² + (- 3y)² + (4z)² + 2 × 2x × (- 3y) + 2 × (- 3y) × 4z + 2 × 4z × 2x
→ 4x² + 9y² + 16z² - 12xy - 24yz + 16zx
