The absolute value of I9I is 9 and -9 but I would put 9 first if you can only pick one
Answer:
Part 1) 
Part 2) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1) Find the value of x
we know that
Triangles CDF and FDE are similar
therefore
The ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent
so
Part 2) Find the length of DE
substitute the value of x
31. There are C(5, 2) = 10 ways to choose 2 colors from a group of 10 colors if you don't care about the order. (Here, we treat blue background with violet letters as being indistinguishable from violet background with blue letters.)
Only one of those 10 pairs is "B and V", so the probability is 1/10.
a) P(B and V) = 10%
32. The 12 inch dimension on the figure is 0 inches for the cross section. The remaining dimensions of the cross section are
c) 5 in. × 4 in.
_____
C(n, k) = n!/(k!·(n-k)!)
C(5, 2) = 5!/(2!·3!) = 5·4/(2·1) = 10
X = shorter piece
y = longer piece = 5x
shorter piece + longer piece = 60
x + 5x = 60
6x = 60
x = 60/6
x = 10 in. <== shorter piece
y = 5x
y = 5(10)
y = 50 in. <== longer piece
