BD=BC, BD= 5x +26, BC= 2x+1, and AC = 43, find AB

1 answer:

8 0

Imagine that points A, B, C and D are collinear and appears in that order from the left to the right. You want to find the measure of the first line segment AB. First, let's find the value of x.

BD = BC
5x + 26 = 2x + 1
5x - 2x = 1 - 26
3x = -25
x = -8.33

2(-8.33) + 1 = -15.67
So, BD=BC= -15.67

To find AB, the solution is as follows:
AC = AB + BC
43 = AB + (-15.67)
AB = 58.67

The perimeter of a rectangle is 40 cm. The length is 14 cm. Let x = width of the rectangle. Ravi says he can find the width usin

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Divide both sides by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation

2(x + 14) = 40

We divide both sides by 2

2(x + 14) = 40/2

x + 14 = 20

x = 20 - 14

x = 6

Therefore, the most helpful first step for solving Ravi's equation is: Divide both sides by 2

A pole that is 3.1m tall casts a shadow that is 1.29m long. At the same time, a nearby building casts a shadow that is 44.75m lo

Mkey [24]

Let b=height of building. By similar triangles we can say:

b/44.75=3.1/1.29

b=44.75*3.1/1.29

b≈107.54

b≈108 meters (to the nearest whole meter)

Dahasolnce [82]

Step-by-step explanation:

since angles in a triangle add up to 180

<vuw=180-(71+23)

=86°

since angles in a straight line add up to 180

<vuf=180-86

=94
