Our response is NO as the equation written in the question is wrong

The correct expression is;


(8.75)/(EC)\text{ = }(10)/(9)

Here, we want to check for the correctness of the measure we have

We are comparing triangle ABC and triangle DEC

Both have the angle marked 55

For ABC;

The side facing the angle is 8.75, while the side facing the unmarked angle is 10

For DEC

The side facing the angle 55 is EC, while the side facing the unmarked angle is 9

So, the relationship we have can be written as;


(8.75)/(10)\text{ = }(EC)/(9)

Rewriting this so that we can place EC under 8.75, we have;


(8.75)/(EC)\text{ = }(10)/(9)

Thus, we can conclude that the expression written in the question is wrong and our reply is NO

The correct expression is;


(8.75)/(EC)\text{ = }(10)/(9)
