The length of line segment bc is 3 cm. Thus, the correct option is B.

<h3>What is a perimeter?</h3>

Perimeter is the sum of the length of the sides used to make the given figure.

Since ACEG is a square and the perimeter of the square is 24 cm, therefore, the length of the side of the square is 6 cm.

Now, since the circle is inscribed in the square, therefore, each side of the circle will be divided into two equal parts by the circle. Thus, the value of BC is half the length of the side of the square.

BC = AC /2 = 6cm /2 = 3 cm

Hence,  the length of line segment bc is 3 cm. Thus, the correct option is B.

HELP AND JUSTIFY UR THINKINg!!
xenn [34]
This seems tricky, but if B can equal anything except 0, can B be anything on the x plane except 0. Meaning you can pick a number that you would justify. Let's say you picked x=2, it still fits the constraints and will connect with point A. (hoped this helped!)

Solve the equation 3(2x+2)=3x-15<br>x=-7<br>x=-17/3<br>x=3<br>x=7​
Nady [450]

3(2x+2)=3x-15

mutiply the bracket by 3

(3)(2x)(3)(2)= 6x+6

6x+6= 3x-15

move 3x to the other side

sign changes from +3x to -3x

6x-3x+6= 3x-3x-15

6x-3x+6= -15

3x+6= -15

move +6 to the other side

sign changes from +6 to -6

3x+6-6= -15-6

3x= -21

divide by 3 for both sides

3x/3= -21/3

x= -7

Answer: x= -7

The number of basketball games that must be scheduled in a league with n teams is given by G(n) = (n2 - n)/2 where each team pla
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

There are 7 teams in the league

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of games is given by:

G(n) = \frac{(n^2-n)}{2}

The equation will be used to determine the number of games. As we already know, that 21 games are scheduled which means G(n) is 21 so we have to find n when G(n) is 21

Putting this mathematically

21 = \frac{n^2-n}{2}

Multiplying equation by 2

2*21 = 2*\frac{n^2-n}{2}\\42 = n^2-n\\n^2-n-42 = 0\\n^2-7n+6n-42 = 0\\n(n-7)+6(n-7) = 0\\(n-7)(n+6)=0\\n-7 = 0 => n=7\\n+6=0 => n=-6

As the number of teams cannot be negative, the number of teams in league are 7.

Hence,

There are 7 teams in the league
