Answer: The length of the segment AD = a+b-c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Segments AB and CD belong to the same line such that that they overlap.

if length of AB = a units and length of CD = b units

measure of overlapping part = c

Then, the length of the segment AD =  length of AB +  length of CD - measure of overlapping part  

= a+b-c

Hence, the length of the segment AD = a+b-c

Mrs. vargas bakes a pie for her book club meeting. the shaded part of the diagram below shows the amount of thw pie left after t
Rasek [7]
I saw the figure of the pie. It is a circle with 8 slices. 4 slices are shaded, the other 4 are not.

So 4/8 or 1/2 of the pie is left. 
Mr. Vargas eats 1/4 of the whole pie. 

8 slices * 1/4 = 8/4 = 2 slices.

Out of the 4 slices remaining, Mr. Vargas ate 2 slices.

That left 2 slices from the original 8 slices.

2/8 = 1/4 of the pie remained.

=> 2x = 20

=> x = 20/2

=> x = 10

oee [108]

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

sin 60 = √3/2

so √3/2 = h / 12

height h = 12√3/ 2

= 6√3 inches or 10.39 inches to nearest hundredth.

Volume = area of base * height = 10*8*6√3

= 480√3 in^3 or 831.38 in^3 to nearest hundredth.
