Considering the situation described in the problem, the length of segment AD is of: 17 units.

<h3>How to find the length of segment AD?</h3>

From the situation described in the problem, segment AD is divided into three parts:

Part AB.

Part BC.

Part CD.

Then, the length of segment AD is:

AD = AB + BC + CD.

We have that AC = 9, hence:

AB + BC = 9.

We also have that BD = 10, then:

BC + CD = 10.

Since BC = 2, we have that:

AB + BC = 9 -> AB + 2 = 9 -> AB = 7.

BC + CD = 10 -> 2 + CD = 10 -> CD = 8.

Then the length of segment AD is given as follows:

AD = AB + BC + CD = 7 + 2 + 8 = 17.

A silk worm grows twice asd long as it was the day before .If the worm measures v40 mm on the 10 th day, on which day was it 2.5

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

On the sixth day (10 - 4), the worm was 2.5mm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future Value= 40mm

Present Value= 2.5mm

Number of periods (n)= ?

Growth rate= 100% per day

First, we need to calculate the number of days it will take to grow from 2.5mm (PV) to 40mm (FV):

n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)

n= ln (40 / 2.5) / ln (2)

n= 4

It will take 4 days.

On the sixth day (10 - 4), the worm was 2.5mm long.

Find the slope of each line and then determine if the lines are parallel, perpendicular or neither. If a value is not an integer

Aleonysh [2.5K]

As given by the question

There are given that the point of two-line

$\begin{gathered} (1,\text{ 7) and (5, 5)} \\ (-1,\text{ -3) and (1, 1)} \end{gathered}$

Now,

From the condition of a parallel and perpendicular line

If the slopes are equal then the lines are parallel

If the slopes are negative reciprocal then the lines are perpendicular

If the slopes are neither of the above are true then lines are neither

Then,

First, find the slope of both of line

So,

For first-line, from the formula of slope

$\begin{gathered} m_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m_1=\frac{5_{}-7_{}}{5_{}-1_{}} \\ m_1=-\frac{2}{4} \\ m_1=-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$

Now,

For second-line,

$\begin{gathered} m_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m_1=\frac{1_{}-(-3)_{}}{1-(-1)_{}} \\ m_1=\frac{4}{2} \\ m_1=2 \end{gathered}$

The given result of the slope is negative reciprocal because

$\begin{gathered} -\frac{1}{2}=-(-\frac{2}{1}) \\ -\frac{1}{2}=2 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the slope of line1 is -1/2, and slope of line2 is 2 and the lines are perpendicular.
