The value of x is 5, if a, b, and c are collinear points.

According to the given question.

a, b, and c are collinear points.

Which means points a, b, and c both lie in a same line.

b is between a nd c .

Also, ab = 12

bc = 5x - 2

and ac = 3x + 20

Since, b lies in between a and c

Therefore,

ab + bc = ac

12 + 5x - 2 = 3x + 20

⇒ 10 + 5x = 3x + 20

⇒ 5x - 3x = 20 - 10

⇒ 2x = 10

⇒ x = 10/ 2

⇒ x = 5

Therefore, the value of x is 5.

What is the volume of a hemisphere with a radius of 2.3 m, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter?
ANTONII [103]

Answer:25.5m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

radius(r)=2.3m

π=3.14

volume of hemisphere=2/3 x π x r^3

Volume=2/3 x 3.14x(2.3)^3

Volume=2/3 x 3.14 x 2.3 x 2.3 x 2.3

volume=(2x3.14x2.3x2.3x2.3) ➗ 3

Volume=76.40876 ➗ 3

Volume=25.5

Is EFGH below a rectangle
poizon [28]

Answer:

  D. No, because EFGH is a parallelogram but it’s diagonals are not congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

The differences between the end points of the diagonals are ...

  F -H = (1, 1) -(2, -5) = (1 -2, 1 -(-5)) = (-1, 6)

  G -E = (4, -2) -(-1, -2) = (4 -(-1), -2 -(-2)) = (5, 0)

The length of FH is more than 6, the length of GE is exactly 5. The diagonals are different length, so the figure cannot be a rectangle.

__

The midpoints of the diagonals will be in the same place if the sum of their end points is the same. (Dividing each sum by 2 gives the midpoint of that segment.)

  F+H = (1, 1) +(2, -5) = (3, -4)

  G+E = (4, -2) +(-1, -2) = (3, -4)

The diagonals bisect each other (have the same midpoint), so the figure is a parallelogram.

EFGH is a parallelogram, but not a rectangle: its diagonals are not congruent.
