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.

(d) If mZABD=60°, and point C is in the interior of ABD, then mZABC=40° and m/CBD=20°. Counterexample: m ZABC = [], m2 CBD = "
DENIUS [597]

The counter example: m∠ ABC = 35°, and m∠ CBD = 25°.

An angle is a figure in Euclidean geometry made up of two rays that share a common terminal and are referred to as the angle's sides and vertices, respectively. Angles created by two rays are in the plane where the rays are located. When two planes intersect each other will create an angle.

Point C is the interior of ABD.

The measure of angle ABD is 60°.

The measure of angle ABC is 40°.

The measure of angle CBD is 20°.

Now when we add the angle ABC and CBD:

∠ ABC + ∠ CBD = 40° + 20°

∠ ABC + ∠ CBD = 60°

∠ ABC + ∠ CBD = ∠ ABD

The counter-example will be:

∠ ABD = ∠ ABC + ∠ CBD

60° = 35° + 25°

Therefore,

∠ ABC = 35° and ∠ CBD = 25°

The base of a solid right pyramid is a regular hexagon with a radius of 2x units and an apothem of units. A solid right pyramid
Xelga [282]

Answer:

6 x^2*\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the pyramid we need to study is a hexagon.

Let's look at the attached image of an hexagon to understand how we are going to find the area of this figure.

Notice that an hexagon is the combination of 6 exactly equal equilateral triangles in our case of size "2x" (notice that the "radius" of the hexagon is given as "2x")

Therefore the area of the hexagon is going to be 6 times the area of one of those equilateral triangles.

We know the area of a triangle is the product of its base times its height, divided by 2: \frac{base*height}{2} = \frac{2x*height}{2}

We notice that the triangle's height is exactly what is called the "apothem" of the hexagon (depicted in green in our figure) which measures x\sqrt{3}, so replacing this value in the formula above for the area of one of the triangles:

\frac{2x*height}{2}= \frac{2x*x\sqrt{3} }{2}=x^2\sqrt{3}

Then we multiply this area times 6 to get the total area of the hexagon (6 of these triangles):

Area of hexagon = 6x^2\sqrt{3}

which is the last option given in the list.
