Using the segment addition theorem, the solutions are:

5. x = 17

6. x = 7

7. x = 14

BC = 27

CD = 61

BD = 88

8. AB = 26

9. LJ = 46

10. x = 3

11. FG = 15

12. QS = 34

13. BC = 26

14. EG = 19

15. QS = 68

<h3>How to Apply the Segment Addition Theorem?</h3>

The segment addition theorem would be used to solve the problems as shown below:

5. UW = UV + VW [segment addition theorem]

Substitute

6x - 35 = 19 + 4x - 20

6x - 4x = 35 + 19 - 20

2x = 34

x = 17

6. HJ = HI + IJ [segment addition theorem]

Substitute

7x - 27 = 3x - 5 + x - 1

7x - 3x - x = 27 - 5 - 1

3x = 21

x = 7

7. BD = BC + CD [segment addition theorem]

Substitute

7x - 10 = 4x - 29 + 5x - 9

7x - 4x - 5x = 10 - 29 - 9

-2x = -28

x = 14

BC = 4x - 29 = 4(14) - 29 = 27

CD = 5x - 9 = 5(14) - 9 = 61

BD = 7x - 10 = 7(14) - 10 = 88

8. BC = BD

Substitute

2x + 1 = 5x - 26

2x - 5x = -1 - 26

-3x = -27

x = 9

AB = 43 - BC

AB = 43 - 2x + 1 = 43 - 2(9) + 1 = 26

9. 7x - 10 = 9x - 11 - (x + 3)

7x - 10 = 9x - 11 - x - 3

7x - 9x + x = 10 - 11 - 3

-x = -4

x = 4

LJ = 28 + 7x - 10 = 28 + 7(4) - 10

LJ = 46

10. 8x + 11 = 12x - 1

8x - 12x = -11 - 1

-4x = -12

x = 3

11. 11x - 7 = 3x + 9

11x - 3x = 7 + 9

8x = 16

x = 2

FG = 11x - 7 = 11(2) - 7

FG = 15

12. 5x - 3 = 21 - x

5x + x = 21 + 3

6x = 24

x = 4

QS = 2(5x - 3) = 10x - 6 = 10(4) - 6

QS = 34

13. 8x - 20 = 2(3x - 1)

8x - 20 = 6x - 2

8x - 6x = 20 - 2

2x = 18

x = 9

BC = AB = 3x - 1 = 3(9) - 1

BC = 26

14. 5x - 1 = 7x - 13

5x - 7x = 1 - 13

-2x = -12

x = 6

EG = 6x - 4 - 13 = 6(6) - 4 - 13

EG = 19

15. RT - ST = RS

Substitute

8x - 43 - (4x - 1) = 2x - 4

8x - 43 - 4x + 1 = 2x - 4

4x - 42 = 2x - 4

4x - 2x = 42 - 4

2x = 38

x = 19

QS = 2(RS)

QS = 2(2x - 4) = 4x - 8 = 4(19) - 8

QS = 68

You are measuring the height of a Ferris wheel at an amusement

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

154 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle is formed, where the height of the wheel (h) is one leg, the distance between you and the base of the wheel is the other leg, and the distance between you and the top of the wheel is the hypotenuse (the angle included between the last two sides is 51°)

From definition:

tan(51°) = opposite/adjacent

tan(51°) = h/125

h = tan(51°)*125

h = 154 ft

An English professor assigns letter grades on a test according to the following scheme. A: Top 15% of scores B: Scores below the

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

59 to 66

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean test scores = u = 74.2

Standard Deviation = $\sigma$ = 9.6

According to the given data, following is the range of grades:

Grade A: 85% to 100%

Grade B: 55% to 85%

Grade C: 19% to 55%

Grade D: 6% to 19%

Grade F: 0% to 6%

So, the grade D will be given to the students from 6% to 19% scores. We can convert these percentages to numerical limits using the z scores. First we need to to identify the corresponding z scores of these limits.

6% to 19% in decimal form would be 0.06 to 0.19. Corresponding z score for 0.06 is -1.56 and that for 0.19 is -0.88 (From the z table)

The formula for z score is:

$z=\frac{x-u}{\sigma}$
