Answer:

1. $\dfrac{AD}{DB}+1=\dfrac{CE}{EB}+1$

2. Addition property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC,

$\dfrac{AD}{DB}=\dfrac{CE}{EB}.$

The addition property of equality states that if the same amount is added to both sides of an equation, then the equality is still true.

Use addition property of equality, add 1 to both sides of previouse equality:

$\dfrac{AD}{DB}=\dfrac{CE}{EB}\\ \\\dfrac{AD}{DB}+1=\dfrac{CE}{EB}+1\\ \\\dfrac{AD+DB}{DB}=\dfrac{CE+EB}{EB}$

The cubit is an ancient unit. Its length equals six palms. (A palm varies from 2.5 to 3.5 inches depending on the individual.) W

olasank [31]

Assuminhg the ark has a shoe-box (cuboid) shape it´s volume would be:

$V_{cuboid}=lenght*width*height$

We have this three measurements ( $l=300cubits;w=50cubits;h=30cubits)$ ) and it can be as simple as replacing them in the equation and solving but they are in all in $cubits$ . We will convert them to $ft$ because the problem requires the answer in $ft^{3}$ . In order to do this we will use the given equivalences:

$1cubit=6palms\\1palm=3.10in$

and another one:

$1ft=12in$

First we will convert from cubits to palms:

$l=300cubits*\frac{6palms}{1cubit}=1800palms\\w=50cubits*\frac{6palms}{1cubit}=300palms\\h=30cubits*\frac{6palms}{1cubit}=180palms\\$

now from $palms$ to $in$ :

$l=1800palms*\frac{3.10in}{1palm}=5580in\\w=300palms*\frac{3.10in}{1palm}=930in\\h=180palms*\frac{3.10in}{1palm}=558in\\$

now from $in$ to $ft$ :

$l=5580in*\frac{1ft}{12in}=465ft\\w=930in*\frac{1ft}{12in}=77.5ft\\h=558in*\frac{1ft}{12in}=46.5ft$

We can calculate the Volume now like this:

$V_{ark}=465ft*77.5ft*46.5ft=1675743.75ft^{3}$

The volume of trhe ark would be $1675743.75ft^{3}$

Alchen [17]

Answer:

A group of students formed a circle during a game.The circumference of the circle was about 43.96 feet,and the diameter of the circle was 14 feet.Which expression best represents the value of π?

The expression which represents the value of π is option C from the attachment that is π = 43.96/14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Circumference of the circle = 43.96 feet

Diameter f the circle = 14 feet

So,

We know that :

Circumference of the circle = $2(\pi )r$ or $(\pi)d$
