<h3>Answer: 47</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

Connect points A and B with a line segment. Through the HL (hypotenuse leg) congruence theorem, you can prove triangle ABC is congruent to triangle ABD. From there, using CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent) we know that BC = BD.

In short: tangents from an external point are the same length.

------

BC = BD

-2x+85 = 5x-48

85+48 = 5x+2x

133 = 7x

7x = 133

x = 133/7

x = 19

-----

Use this x value to find the length of BC

BC = -2x+85

BC = -2(19)+85

BC = -38+85

BC = 47

and let's check BD as well. It should also be 47 units long.

BD = 5x-48

BD = 5*19-48

BD = 95-48

BD = 47

This confirms our answer.

Write in form y=mx+b I will give brainiest to correct answer

Viktor [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b (m is the slope, b is the y-intercept)

To come with sope choose two points from the graph (6,20), (4,30)

Then

m=(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) =(4-6)/(30-20)=-1/5

b= 50 (y-intercept)

SO y=-1/5x-50

I hope this helps

A pyramid has a base area of 60.5 cm^2 and a height of 12 cm what is the volume of the pyramid

Elena L [17]

Answer:

242 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a pyramid = 1/3 * area of base * height

= 1/3 * 60.5 * 12

= 242 cm^3

If you vertically compress the linear perent function, F(x) = x, by multiplying by 1\2

andrezito [222]

Answer: $y=\dfrac12 x$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that $a f (x)$ compresses f(x) vertically such that

if 0 < a < 1 (a fraction), the graph is compressed vertically by a factor of a units.
if a > 1, the graph is stretched vertically by a factor of a units.

If we vertically compress the linear parent function, F(x) = x, by multiplying by $\dfrac12$ .

Then, the equation of the new function is $y=\dfrac12 F(x)=\dfrac12 x$ .

i.e. $y=\dfrac12 x$ .
