we know that

A median of a triangle is a line segment joining a vertex to the midpoint of the opposing side, bisecting it.

In this problem the line DB is a median of triangle ADC

The line DB is also the altitude of a triangle ADC, because is perpendicular to the side AC

AB=BC

we have that

$BC=9\ units$

therefore

$AB=9\ units$

the answer is the option

$9$

B. 9 I think because it looks like it is bisected in the middle to cut into two equal parts. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

Answer:

B. Store T sells apples at the lowest rate

Step-by-step explanation:

Store R sells apples at $1.20 per pound.

Store S sells 4 pounds of apples at $5.00.

Store T sells 3 pounds of apples at $3.48.

To find the answer, you have to find the unit price for both Store S and Store T.

For Store S: 4 pounds = $5. Divide the cost by the pounds. This will give us $1.25 per pound.

For Store T: 3 pounds = $3.48. Same thing as Store S, divide the cost by the number of pounds. This will give us 1.16 per pound.

Now, we know the unit prices for each store. It's time to answer the question.

A. Store R sells apples at the lowest rate.

This is incorrect because the store that sells the apples at the lowest rate is Store T.

B. Store T sells the apples at the lowest rate.

This answer is correct, but I'll also take a look at the other two

C. Store S charges a lower rate for apples than Store T.

Again, this is incorrect because Store T sells apples at the lowest rate.

D. Store T charges the same rate for apples as Store R.

Nope, Store T sells the apples at a lower rate than Store R.

This means your answer will be B. Store T sells apples at the lowest rate.

At a local print shop, 18 copies can be made for $6. At this rate, how much would it

Ber [7]

Answer: to make 78 copies it cost 26 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

18 copies - 6 dollars

78 copies - x dollars

Hence,

$\displaystyle\\x=\frac{78*6}{18} \\\\x=\frac{26*3*6}{3*6} \\\\x=26 \ dollars$

Mr. Kohl has a breaker containing n milliliters of solution to distribute to the students in his chemistry class. If he gives ea

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

There were 26 students in his class and the teacher had 83 ml of the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Kohl has a "x" amount of solution, if he divides it by the number of students "n" he'll give each student 3 milliliters and have a left over of 5 milliliters. If the amount of solution Mr. Kohl had was "x + 21" then he'd be able to give each student 4 milliliters of the solution. From these informations we have:

x = 3*n + 5

(x + 21)/n = 4

x + 21 = 4*n

x = 4*n - 21

Now that we have two equations and two variables we can solve the system of equations, as seen bellow:

3*n + 5 = 4*n - 21

3*n - 4*n = -21 - 5

-n = -26

n = 26

x = 4*26 - 21 = 83 ml

There were 26 students in his class and the teacher had 83 ml of the solution.
