Step 1

In the right triangle ADB

<u>Find the length of the segment AB</u>

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

AB^{2} =AD^{2}+BD^{2}

we have

AD=5\ units\\BD=12\ units

substitute the values

AB^{2}=5^{2}+12^{2}

AB^{2}=169

AB=13\ units

Step 2

In the right triangle ADB

<u>Find the cosine of the angle BAD</u>

we know that

cos(BAD)=\frac{adjacent\ side }{hypotenuse}=\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{5}{13}

Step 3

In the right triangle ABC

<u>Find the length of the segment AC</u>

we know that

cos(BAC)=cos (BAD)=\frac{5}{13}

cos(BAC)=\frac{adjacent\ side }{hypotenuse}=\frac{AB}{AC}

\frac{5}{13}=\frac{AB}{AC}

\frac{5}{13}=\frac{13}{AC}

solve for AC

AC=(13*13)/5=33.8\ units

Step 4

<u>Find the length of the segment DC</u>

we know that

DC=AC-AD

we have

AC=33.8\ units

AD=5\ units

substitute the values

DC=33.8\ units-5\ units

DC=28.8\ units

Step 5

<u>Find the length of the segment BC</u>

In the right triangle BDC

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

BC^{2} =BD^{2}+DC^{2}

we have

BD=12\ units\\DC=28.8\ units

substitute the values

BC^{2}=12^{2}+28.8^{2}

BC^{2}=973.44

BC=31.2\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

BC=31.2\ units

Rewrite each pair of fractions using the least common denominator 5/6 2/5
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

25/30 and 12/30

Step-by-step explanation:

6 and 5 have a least common multiple of 30

6*5 = 30

5/6 * 5/5 = 25/30

2/5 *6/6 = 12/30

Find the value of x.
nadezda [96]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of a trapezoid equals one half of the sum of the bases

AC is a median and EB and DF are the bases.

hence AC = 1/2(EB + DF)

We are given that EB = 13 and that AC = 19. And we need to find DF

To do so we plug in what we are given and solve for DF

AC = 1/2(EB + DF)

AC = 19, EB = 13

19 = 1/2(13 + DF)

Now solve for DF

* Multiply both sides by 2*

19 * 2 = 38

1/2(13 + DF) * 2 ( the 1/2 and 2 cancel out and we're left with 13 + DF )

We then have 38 = 13 + DF

* Subtract 13 from both sides *

38 - 13 = 13 - 13 + DF

We get that DF = 25
