Answer:

CD = 5.7 cm
ED = 3.05 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) ΔACD ~ ΔABE so the ratios of corresponding sides are the same. That is ...

CD/BE = CA/BA

CD/3.8 = 12.3/8.2

CD = 3.8×12.3/8.2 = 5.7 . . . . cm

b) As above, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same.

ED/AD = BC/AC

ED/9.15 = (12.3-8.2)/12.3 . . . . BC = AC - AB

ED = 9.15×4.1/12.3 = 3.05 . . . . cm

Which classification best represents a triangle with side lengths 6 cm, 10 cm, and 12 cm? acute, because 62 + 102 < 122 acute

maw [93]

The Pythagoras theorem states that
the sum of squares of the shorter sides (legs) of a right triangle equals the square of the third side.

A corollary from the same theorem helps us solve this problem:
If the sum of the squares of the shorter sides of a triangle is greater than the square of the third side, the included angle is acute. ..... (case 1)
Conversely, if the sum of the squares of the shorter sides of a triangle is less than the square of the third side, the triangle is obtuse. .....(case 2)

Here we have
6^2+10^2 = 36+100=136 <12^2=144
Therefore case 2 applies, and the triangle is obtuse.

How much water do you add to make 12% sugar syrup using 5g sugar?

Alchen [17]

so the syrup is just water and sugar, we know that the sugar percent is just 12%, and that happens to be 5grams.

now 100% - 12% is 88%, so the 88% leftover will just be water.

if 12% is 5g, how much is 88%?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 5&12\\ x&88 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{5}{x}=\cfrac{12}{88}\implies \cfrac{5}{x}=\cfrac{3}{22}\implies 110=3x \\\\\\ \cfrac{110}{3}=x\implies 36\frac{2}{3}=x$
