A boy purchased(bought) a party length sandwich 59 in long. He wants to cut it into three pieces so that the middle piece is 6in

. Longer than the shortest piece and the shortest piece is 8in. Shorter than the longest piece. How long should the three pieces be?

Ok so let's start with what we know- the shortest piece is 8 inches so there's one length... then the middle piece is 6 inches longer than the shortest (6+ 8) so the middle piece would be 14 inches long. To find the last piece we can add up the other two pieces we know (14+8) which would be 22 and subtract that from how long the whole sandwich is (59-22) which would be 37 inches long. So in the end he shortest piece would be 8 inches, the middle 14 inches and the longest 37 inches.

<u>Question 4</u>

1) \overline{BD} bisects \angle ABC, \overline{EF} \perp \overline{AB}, and \overline{EG} \perp \overline{BC} (given)

2) \angle FBE \cong \angle GBE (an angle bisector splits an angle into two congruent parts)

3) \angle BFE and \angle BGE are right angles (perpendicular lines form right angles)

4) \triangle BFE and \triangle BGE are right triangles (a triangle with a right angle is a right triangle)

5) \overline{BE} \cong \overline{BE} (reflexive property)

6) \triangle BFE \cong \triangle BGE (HA)

<u>Question 5</u>

1) \angle AXO and \angle BYO are right angles, \angle A \cong \angle B, O is the midpoint of \overline{AB} (given)

2) \triangle AXO and \triangle BYO are right triangles (a triangle with a right angle is a right triangle)

3) \overline{AO} \cong \overline{OB} (a midpoint splits a segment into two congruent parts)

4) \triangle AXO \cong \triangle BYO (HA)

5) \overline{OX} \cong  \overline{OY} (CPCTC)

<u>Question 6</u>

1) \angle B and \angle D are right angles, \overline{AC} bisects \angle BAD (given)

2) \overline{AC} \cong \overline{AC} (reflexive property)

3) \angle BAC \cong \angle CAD (an angle bisector splits an angle into two congruent parts)

4) \triangle BAC and \triangle CAD are right triangles (a triangle with a right angle is a right triangle)

5) \triangle BAC \cong \triangle DCA (HA)

6) \angle BCA \cong \angle DCA (CPCTC)

7) \overline{CA} bisects \angle ACD (if a segment splits an angle into two congruent parts, it is an angle bisector)

<u>Question 7</u>

1) \angle B and \angle C are right angles, \angle 4 \cong \angle 1 (given)

2) \triangle BAD and \triangle CAD are right triangles (definition of a right triangle)

3) \angle 1 \cong \angle 3 (vertical angles are congruent)

4) \angle 4 \cong \angle 3 (transitive property of congruence)

5) \overline{AD} \cong \overline{AD} (reflexive property)

6) \therefore \triangle BAD \cong \triangle CAD (HA theorem)

7) \angle BDA \cong \angle CDA (CPCTC)

8) \therefore \vec{DA} bisects \angle BDC (definition of bisector of an angle)

How many athletes exercised more than 40 but less than 60 minutes
BaLLatris [955]
4.  When reading the stem and leaf plot the only values that fall between the range of  40 < x <60  is the 4 values of 45.  They are located at the tail end of the 4 stem after the zeros. The 40s and 60s are not counted because it is not mentioned equal to 40 or 60.
