A perpendicular line can intersect the segment at any point but the perpendicular isector only intersects the segment at its mid-point

Further explanation:

Let us define both terms one by one

line that is perpendicular to a segment:

A line which makes an angle of 90 degrees with another segment is called perpendicular line. A line that is perpendicular to a segment may intersect the segment at any point between the endpoints of the segment.

perpendicular bisector of a segment:

The perpendicular bisector although also makes the angle of 90 degrees with the segment but the perpendicular bisector only intersects the segment at the mid-point of the segment dividing the segement in two equal segments that is why it is called bisector.

A group of k elements can be chosen from a group of n elements in $\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$ ways.

$(^6 _3)=\frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!}=\frac{6!}{3! \times 3!}=\frac{3! \times 4 \times 5 \times 6}{3! \times 6}=4 \times 5=20$

What is 10 - 4 and 2/3?

Ymorist [56]

10 - 4 2/3

First, we convert mixed fraction into improper fraction.

4 2/3 = ((4*3)+2)/3 = 14/3

In subtracting fractions:
1) Both must have the same denominator.
10 is 10/1 and 14/3 have different denominators.

2) Once they have the same denominator, then subtraction may be performed.

10 - 14/3 = 10 * 3/3 - 14/3 = 30/3 - 14/3 = 16/3

3) 16/3 must be simplified.

16/3 = 5 1/3

10 - 4 2/3 = 5 1/3

Solve for x…………………………..

Georgia [21]

Answer:

15x + 15° = 3x + 9° + 78° (exterior angle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles)

15x - 3x = 9° + 78° - 15 °

12x = 72°

12x÷12 = 72°÷12

x = 6
