Why do you think rates are usually written as unit rates?

Answer the questions in the attachment. a rescue helicopter is at point a and a rescue boat is at point e. the helicopter pilot spots boats in distress at points d and c, with angles as marked in the diagram. figure abce is a rectangle. the altitude of the rescue helicopter, represented by ae, is 5000 feet.

In the following diagram it is given that dec, ab || dc, ad || eb, and ad is congruent to bc. a)why isn't abc a parallelogram even though it has a pair of parallel sides and a pair of congruent sides b)explain why be must be congruent to bc. further explain what type of triangle this makes triangle abc and what it tells you about angle 1 and angle 2c) finally why must angle 3 be congruent to angle 1? further, explain why we know that angle 3 is congruent to angle 2
