Answer 1

Answer 2

honestly I don't know that's why I want someone to work this through with me so I can learn. Geometry is not my best subject atm and I don't want to guess.

Answer 3

hmmm i think its C

Answer 4

Could you explain why, I kinda came here in hopes to learn something :P

Answer 5

ok 1 sec

Answer 6

Thanks (:

Answer 7

ok... you need to use difference triangles to find

1. BD... use triangle ABC and triangle ADE

the ratio of the corresponding sides is

\[\frac{AC}{AE} = \frac{AB}{AD}\]

so numerically

\[\frac{30}{12} = \frac{AB}{6}\]

so AB = 15 and AB = BD + DA BD = 15 - 6 or BD = 9

now for side BF

using triangles ABC and EFC

the ratio of the sides is \[\frac{AC}{EC} = \frac{BC}{FC} \]

numerically

\[\frac{30}{18} = \frac{BC}{24}\]

so BC = 40

and BC = BF + FC or 40 = BF + 24

so now you have BF and BD so you can choose the correct answer

Answer 8

Thank you so much!
