The value of the length of BC is 45 units

<h3>How to determine the length BC?</h3>

The given parameters are:

BC = 15x

AD = 32x - 2

EF = 20.5x + 8

Where the parallel bases are AD and BC and the midsegment is EF

By the midsegment theorem, we have

2 * EF = AD + BC

Substitute the known values in the above equation

2 * (20.5x + 8) = 15x + 32x -2

Open the bracket

41x + 16 = 15x + 32x - 2

Evaluate the like terms

6x = 18

Divide both sides by 6

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 in BC = 15x

BC = 15 * 3

Evaluate

BC = 45

Hence, the value of the length of BC is 45 units

Hello!

$\large\boxed{9 \%}$

To find the percent tax, use the equation:

$\text{ \% tax} = \frac{\text{ price after - initial price}}{\text{initial price}}$

Substitute in the given values:

$\text{ \% tax} = \frac{\text{ 21.80 - 20}}{\text{20}} \\\\\text{ \% tax} = \frac{1.80}{20} = 0.09$

Multiply by 100 to find the percent tax:

$0.09 * 100 = 9\%$

Answer:

Second option. "Sue wants to cover the lid of a box with paper. How much paper should she buy?"

Explanation:

The first option relies upon volume.

The last two options relies on side lengths.

The second option is relies on area because you have to calculate the area of the lid to know how much paper can be used to cover it.

Pls tell me some answers for this

devlian [24]

Answer:

∠B ≈ 56.25°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use the cosine ratio to solve for B

cosB = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{BC}{AB}$ = $\frac{5}{9}$ , thus

B = $cos^{-1}$ ( $\frac{5}{9}$ ) ≈ 56.25°

The area of a 12-cm-wide rectangle is 288 cm^2 what is its length?

densk [106]

Answer:

24cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle is length × breadth. You already know the area and the breadth, so you can find the length.

288cm² = length × 12cm

length = 288cm² ÷ 12cm

= 24cm
