Question

use the graph write ratio in simplest form

Answer 1

AB and BD for the first ratio, are pretty much given, just look at the x-coordinate values
from A to B, and then from B to D

EC is also just by looking at the y-coordinate, from E to C, how many units
now, AE can be obtained by using pythagorean theorem
AE = \(\sqrt{AC^2 + EC^2}\)

now as far as the slopes of EB and ED
just look at the points (x, y ) coordinates

Answer 2

so for 33 it is .....5/6

Answer 3

for 33, AC is 6
BD is 6

so the ratio of AC:BD is 6:6

that simplified is 1:1

Answer 4

can you explain it im sooo confused on how to do this

Answer 5

well AC is the length from point A to point C, which is 6

BD is the length from point B to point D, which is 6

#33 is asking for the ratio of AC/BD, which is 6/6

6/6 simplified is 1/1

Answer 6

oh i misread -_-
ok

Answer 7

33 is simple because you can just count the distance from A to C and from B to D

34, you have to use the distance formula to find the distance from A to E

Answer 8

ok so refresh on how to do that

Answer 9

\[d=\sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1})^2+(y _{2}-y _{1})^2}\]

Answer 10

\[AE = \sqrt{AC^{2} + EC^{2}}\]

Answer 11

but yes, what @Mertsj said haha

Answer 12

oh ok so how do i do that

Answer 13

well you know that AC is 6

find out what EC is by looking at the graph
looks like EC = 8


so
\[AE = \sqrt{6^{2}+8^{2}}\]

Answer 14

\[AE = \sqrt{36+64} = \sqrt{100} = 10\]

Answer 15

ohhh that makes sense

Answer 16

yep, not just do the same thing we did for 33

Answer 17

can you rephrase that for me

Answer 18

im confused as to what you mean

Answer 19

@nincompoop help me maybe...?

Answer 20

so what part are you confused?

Answer 21

what i am supposed to do after i have figured out what AE is

Answer 22

look for segment EC

Answer 23

ok i found it

Answer 24

it is 8..?
