Question

Please help em with this

Answer 1

d = 5m

m = 6yd

Explanation:

Question 1.)

We know that segment GF is half of CD, therefore EF would be half of CE.

=> CE / 2 = EF or d

=> 10 / 2 = EF or d

=> 5 = EF or d

Question 2.)

We know that segment DE is half of EF, so segment EG would be half of DH;

=> DH / 2 = EG or m

=> 12 / 2 = EG or m

=> 6 = EG or m

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

a) 5 m

b) 8 yd

Explanation:

a) Take the ratios of the legs of the triangles. Since they are similar triangles, those ratios are equal.

d/(4 m) = (10m)/(8 m)

Solving for d,

d =(10/8)(4 m) = 5 m

b) m/(10 yd) = (12 yd)/(10 yd + 5 yd) = 12/15 = 4/5

Solving for m,

m = (4/5)(10 yd)

= 8 yd
