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.

Please give a explanation :)<br> i will mark as brainliest!!

Answer:

x=12 y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the scale factor is 1:3, that means that the length and width of Q multiplied by 3 gives the corresponding length and width of P.

Similarly, the length and width of P divided by 3 gives the corresponding length and width of Q.

With this, 9/3=3, which is the value of y.

4*3=12, which is the value of x.

Order the following numbers from least to greatest.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

-5.5 $-\sqrt{20}$ $\sqrt4$ $\frac{22}{7}$ 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The numbers to order from least to greatest is given as:

$-5.5, 4.5, 22/7,\sqrt4,-\sqrt{20}$

In order to compare these numbers, we have to convert them in same form.

Let us simplify each number in decimal form.

$-5.5 = -5.5\\\\4.5=4.5\\\\\frac{22}{7}=3.14\\\\\sqrt4=2\\\\-\sqrt{20}=-\sqrt{5\times 2^2}=-2\sqrt5=-4.47$

So, the least number is one which has the largest value with a negative sign.

Here, -5.5 is the least number.

The next smallest number is -4.47. So, $-\sqrt{20}$

The next smallest number is 2. So, $\sqrt4$

The next smallest number is 3.14. So, $\frac{22}{7}$

The greatest number is 4.5.

Therefore, the order from the least to greatest is:

-5.5 < $-\sqrt{20}$ < $\sqrt4$ < $\frac{22}{7}$ < 4.5

If if Spencer spent a total of $704.00 in the month of July, which is the best estimate for the amount of money he spent on clot

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

$Clothing = \$190.0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given [Missing details]

Spencer's expenses

$Clothing = 27\%$

$Gasoline = 11\%$

$Food = 44\%$

$Entertainment = 18\%$

$Total= \$704.00$

Required:

An estimate for the amount spent on clothing

To do this, simply multiply the clothing percentage by the total amount.

$Clothing = 27\% * \$704.00$

$Clothing = 0.27 * \$704.00$

$Clothing = \$190.08$

Approximate

$Clothing = \$190.0$

A coin will be tossed three times, and each toss will be recorded as heads (H) or tails (T). Give the sample space describing al

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Sample space:

{HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}

Third toss is heads:

{HHT, HTT, THT, TTT}

First toss is heads, second tails and third heads:

{HTH}

Explanation:

In order to find the sample space we need to write all the possible outcomes from tossing the coin three times.You can start by writting all the possible outcomes for the first toss being a head and finish with all the possible outcomes for the first toss being Tails. The number of elements in the sample space can be found by multiplying the possible outcomes of each toss together, so 2*2*2=8

{HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}

For the third toss being heads we will have one restriction this time. Which is that the third toss is Tails. You can take the elements from the sample space where the third element is a tails. In this case, the number of elements can be calculated by multiplying the possible outcomes for only the first two tosses 2*2=4

{HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}

For first toss is heads, second tails and third heads there is only one possible way for you to get this outcome so there is only one element to this set.

{HTH}
