If the polygon or the figures are similar then it is known that the ratios of their corresponding sides and angles are proportional. In this item we can derive an equation that is,

AC/AE = AD/AB

Substituting the known values,

4/7 = 10/AB

AB from the equation is equal to 70/4 or equal to 17 ½.

Explain how you could use 25% of a number to find the number

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: 25 percent means one fourth. To calculate 25 percent of a number, simply divide it by 4. For example, 25 percent of 12 is 12 divided by 4, or 3. 10 percent means one tenth.

How do I do this and solve it

Nutka1998 [239]

Hey there! :D

Since the sides are equal in length, we know this is an isosceles triangle. It will have two equal angles.

We already know the vertex is 80 degrees, so the bottom two angles will be equal in measure. All angles in a triangle equal 180 degrees

180-80= 100

100/2= 50

x= 50

I hope this helps!

What are the coordinates of the endpoints of the midsegment for △DEF that is parallel to DE¯¯¯¯¯?

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The endpoints of the midsegment for △DEF that is parallel to DE, are (-1,3.5) and (-1,2).

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line connecting the midpoint of two sides and parallel to the third side of the triangle, then it is called a midsegment.

From the given figure it is noticed that the vertices of the triangle are D(1,4), E(1,1) and F(-3,3).

If the midsegment is parallel to DE, then the end points of the midsegment are mid point of DF and EF.

Midpoint formula.
