Answer 1

Sadie Adams

The length of EF=15 cm.
For the process, refer to the explanation:

As, the question states that the triangles are similar; their ratios are also equal.
#(AC)/(DF)= (AB)/(DE)= (CB)/(EF)#

So,according to the equation,
#12/10= (AB)/(DE)= 18/(EF)#

Now taking the first and third equation,

#12/10=18/(EF)#

or, #12 xx EF #= 10 #xx# 18

or, EF= #180/12#

or, EF= 15

#:. #the length of EF= 15 cm.

I hope it really helps you understand the question:)

To determine the length of segment EF, we would need more context or information about the figure or scenario in which EF exists. Please provide additional details or clarify the context of EF so that I can assist you accurately.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
