D is the midpoint of AC. If AD = 2x + 6 and DC = 4x-7, what is the length of DC?

1 answer:

4 0

A----------D----------C

AD = 2x + 6
DC = 4x - 7

the midpoint D splits AC into 2 equal parts....therefore, AD = DC

2x + 6 = 4x - 7
2x - 4x = -7 - 6
-2x = - 13
x = -13/-2
x = 6.5

DC = 4x - 7......4(6.5) - 7 = 19 <===
AD = 2x + 6.....2(6.5) + 6 = 19

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

3:2

Step-by-step explanation:

to write a ratio, we can do ?:? in order. for example, 5 big shops to 10 small shops would be 5:10 (we are going to simplify it later) You always have to put the ratio numbers in order like they are in the question. In this case, small bones : big bones. We get 9:6. We can then divide both sides by a common factor, in this case 3. The end result is 3:2. Hope this helps!

A fire department's ladder is 110 feet long. A firefighter is trying to reach the top of a 100 foot building by leaning the ladd

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

sin-¹(10/11)

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the building is 100 ft and the ladder is 110ft long .We can imagine this situation as a right angled ∆. For figure refer to the attachment .

We can use ratio sine here. Let the angle of elevation be theta.

In ∆ ABC :-

=> sinθ = p/h

=> sinθ = 100ft / 110 ft

=> sinθ = 10/11

=> θ = sin -¹ ( 10/11) .

<h3>Hence the angle of elevation is sin -¹ ( 10/11). </h3>
