Help me please http://prntscr.com/hz017e

Vocaloid:

triangle proportionality theorem 2/8 = CE/4 solve for CE

Comerpickles:

Like this? http://prntscr.com/hz0qao

Vocaloid:

yes

Comerpickles:

Okay, strangest thing. I complete forgot how to solve with letters ad the denominator

Vocaloid:

you just have to cross multiply

Vocaloid:

|dw:1515681783670:dw|

Vocaloid:

multiplying across the diagonals gives us 8*CE = 4*2 solve for CE

Comerpickles:

8/8?

Comerpickles:

Or CE/8?

Vocaloid:

8*CE = 4*2 dividing both sides by 8 gives us CE = 4*2/8 = 8/8 = 1 = your answer

Comerpickles:

Ohhh

Comerpickles:

Can you help me with 4 more?

Vocaloid:

sure

Vocaloid:

triangle proportionality theorem (would recommend writing this down), this rule applies for all triangles set up this way |dw:1515682084675:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1515682090174:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1515682133294:dw|

Comerpickles:

9/1.5?

Vocaloid:

therefore: |dw:1515682170822:dw|

Comerpickles:

12/3?

Comerpickles:

12/2

Vocaloid:

yup, well done, those are the answers 9/1.5 = 12/2

Comerpickles:

Vocaloid:

last one needs to be parallel b/c 2/8 = 3/12 which agrees with the proportionality theorem

Vocaloid:

others are fine

Comerpickles:

http://prntscr.com/hz0y24 I tried to see if I can set it up correctly myself. May be wrong

Vocaloid:

hypotenuse/leg = hypotenuse/leg

Vocaloid:

AD is the left leg 4.5 and 5 are the hypotenuses 4 is the right leg so 4.5/AD = 5/4 solve for AD

Comerpickles:

18/5

Vocaloid:

good, and as a decimal that's 3.6 = your answer

Comerpickles:

Thanks http://prntscr.com/hz11d7

Vocaloid:

going to ask for some help w/ this one @sillybilly123 is there a way I can do this w/o using law of cosines?

Comerpickles:

XD

Comerpickles:

6.5/8?
