Question


In the figure above, top enclose B D end enclose is parallel to top enclose A E end enclose. What is the length of top enclose C E end enclose ?

The correct answer is: 30


    The figure above, consist of two triangles; -
    Triangle CDB is a small triangle inside a larger triangle,
    CEA
    To find side CE,
    We compare the sides of both the small and large triangles height of small triangle = DB
    Height of large triangle = EA
    CD is the hypotonus of the small triangle
    CF is the hypotonus of the large triangle.
    Comparing height / hypotonus of small and large triangle.
    fraction numerator text  height of small triable  end text over denominator text  hyponenus of small triangle  end text end fraction plus fraction numerator text  height of large triangle  end text over denominator text  hyponenus of large triangle  end text end fraction
    fraction numerator D B over denominator C D end fraction plus fraction numerator E A over denominator C F end fraction
    DB = 6 EA = 18
    CD, from Pythagoras = square root of left parenthesis 16 squared end root plus 8 squared
    equals square root of 100
    =100
    6 over 10 plus 18 over CE
    6CE = 10 x 10
    C E equals 180 over 6
    CE = 30
    OR
    C D equals square root of 6 squared plus 8 squared end root equals square root of 36 plus 64 end root equals square root of 100 equals 10
    CD = 10
    increment CDB tilde increment CEA
    fraction numerator C D over denominator B D end fraction equals fraction numerator C E over denominator A E end fraction rightwards double arrow 10 over 6 equals fraction numerator C E over denominator 18 end fraction equals C E equals 10 over 6 cross times 18 cubed equals 30

    6x − 9y > 12
    Which of the following inequalities is equivalent to the inequality above?

    Equivalent Inequalities
    Equivalent inequalities are defined as inequalities that transmit the same information.
    There are several methods for creating equal inequalities.
    An inequity is equal to its mirror image, to start with. Let's take a look at what that appears to be:
    x > 4
    4 < x
    Keep in mind that one inequality is effectively the reverse of the other. The inequality symbol's pointed portion always points in the direction of 4! In this situation, the disparities are equal. You must, however, pay VERY close attention to the inequality sign's orientation.
    Example 1: The pointed portion of the inequality sign in the first inequality points to 4, whereas the pointy portion in the second inequality points to x, making these two inequality NOT equal:
    x > 4
    4 < x

    6x − 9y > 12
