5x/2=32

5x=64

x=12.8 (width)

4x=51.2 (length)

Given segments AB and CD intersect at E.

nata0808 [166]

The length of a segment is the distance between its endpoints.

$\mathbf{AB = 3\sqrt{2}}$
AB and CD are not congruent
AB does not bisect CD
CD does not bisect AB

<u>(a) Length of AB</u>

We have:

$\mathbf{A = (1,2)}$

$\mathbf{B = (4,5)}$

The length of AB is calculated using the following distance formula

$\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{(1 - 4)^2 + (2 - 5)^2}}$

$\mathbf{AB = \sqrt{18}}$

Simplify

$\mathbf{AB = 3\sqrt{2}}$

<u>(b) Are AB and CD congruent</u>

First, we calculate the length of CD using:

$\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}}$

Where:

$\mathbf{C = (2, 4)}$

$\mathbf{D = (2, 1)}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{(2 -2)^2 + (4 - 1)^2}}$

$\mathbf{CD = \sqrt{9}}$

$\mathbf{CD = 3}$

By comparison

$\mathbf{CD \ne AB}$

Hence, AB and CD are not congruent

<u>(c) AB bisects CD or not?</u>

If AB bisects CD, then:

$\mathbf{AB = \frac 12 \times CD}$

The above equation is not true, because:

$\mathbf{3\sqrt 2 \ne \frac 12 \times 3}$

Hence, AB does not bisect CD

<u>(d) CD bisects AB or not?</u>

If CD bisects AB, then:

$\mathbf{CD = \frac 12 \times AB}$

The above equation is not true, because:

$\mathbf{3 \ne \frac 12 \times 3\sqrt 2}$

Hence, CD does not bisect AB

Remember to check for extraneous solutions

larisa86 [58]

$Domain:v\neq0\\\\\dfrac{2}{v}+\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{v-6}{3v}\\\\\dfrac{2\cdot3}{v\cdot3}+\dfrac{2\cdot v}{3\cdot v}=\dfrac{v-6}{3v}\\\\\dfrac{6}{3v}+\dfrac{2v}{3v}=\dfrac{v-6}{3v}\\\\\dfrac{6+2v}{3v}=\dfrac{v-6}{3v}\iff6+2v=v-6\qquad\text{subtract 6 from both sides}\\\\2v=v-12\qquad\text{subtract v from both sides}\\\\\boxed{v=-12}\to\boxed{A.}$
