Answer:

B. 32

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that B, D, and F are midpoints of the sides of Angle ACE.

To solve for the length of side AC, we will use mid-segment theorem, which states that the segment connecting mid points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to third side of triangle and half the measure of third side.

We can see that side DF is parallel to side AC, so measure of side AC will be 2 times the measure of DF.

$AC=2\times DF$

$AC=2\times 16$

$AC=32$

Therefore, the measure of side AC is 32 units and option B is the correct choice.

Since F and D are midpoints of their respective segments,
AC = 2*FD = 2*16
AC = 32

Selection B is appropriate.

Four times the largest of three consecutive odd integers is 36 more than the sum of the other

erica [24]

If you know how to solve word problems involving the sum of consecutive even integers, you should be able to easily solve word problems that involve the sum of consecutive odd integers. The key is to have a good grasp of what odd integers are and how consecutive odd integers can be represented.

Odd Integers

If you recall, an even integer is always 22 times a number. Thus, the general form of an even number is n=2kn=2k, where kk is an integer.

So what does it mean when we say that an integer is odd? Well, it means that it’s one less or one more than an even number. In other words, odd integers are one unit less or one unit more of an even number.

Therefore, the general form of an odd integer can be expressed as nn is n=2k-1n=2k−1 or n=2k+1n=2k+1, where kk is an integer.

Observe that if you’re given an even integer, that even integer is always in between two odd integers. For instance, the even integer 44 is between 33 and 55.

Area of a trapezoid
1/2(a+b)(h) where a and b are the parallel sides and h is the height.

a = 12.9, b = 8.6, h = 6.4

A = 1/2(12.9 + 8.6)(6.4) = 68.8 cm²
