Short Answer: 1.5
Givens
OA = 12
OB = 9
O does not lie on AB

Argument
The order that these lines must be in is OBA. O is on your left, B is in the middle and A is on your right. 

Mark your distances as follows.
OB = 9
BA = 3

Mark the midpoint of OA = M1
Mark the midpoint of OB = M2

M1 = 12 / 2 = 6 so M1 is 6 units from O
M2 = 9/2 = 4.5

The distance between the two midpoints is 6 - 4.5 = 1.5
Answer M1 - M2  = 1.5 <<<<

Answer:

1.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached,

OA = 12 cm and OB = 9 cm.

Let the mid points of OA and OB are P and Q.

Then we have to find the distance between P and Q.

Since P is the midpoint of OA so OP = \frac{12}{2} = 6 cm.

and Q is the midpoint of OB so OQ = \frac{9}{2} = 4.5 cm

Now PQ = OP - OQ

              = 6 - 4.5

              = 1.5 cm.

Distance between the midpoints of segments OA and OB is 1.5 cm.

Answer:

U =35.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right angle, we can use trig functions

tan theta = opp/ adj

tan U = 5/7

Take the inverse of each side

tan ^-1 tan U = tan ^-1 (5/7)

U = 35.53767779

Round to the nearest tenth

U =35.5

The area of a rectangular bathroom mirror is 9 square feet. the mirror is 3 feet wide. how tall is it?
lisabon 2012 [21]
You multpily the length and the width to find the area of a shape. If the square is 3ft wide, then the square is also 3 ft long if the area is 9.
so, how tall is it?
3 ft. I meant rectangle. Its still the same for the height.

Mark bikes 4/10 of a mile in 1/5 of an hour. Find marks average speed in miles per hour.
Triss [41]

He bikes 4/10 of a mile in 1/5 of an hour

That is 4/10 miles in 1/5 hours

Average speed = Distance/ time = 4/10 ÷ 1/5 = 4/10 × 5/1 = 2 miles/hour

Stacy rolls a pair of six-sided fair dice.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The probability that the sum of the numbers rolled is either a multiple of 3 or an even number is 24/36 = 2/3

The two events are mutually exclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

we first need to create a table of the sample space from the experiment, the sum of the numbers rolled. Find the attached for a depiction of the possible outcomes.

The probability that the sum of the numbers rolled is either a multiple of 3 or an even number will be given by counting the numbers that are either even or multiples of 3 and then dividing by the number of possible outcomes, 36.

In our case this will be;

24/36 = 2/3
