Answer:
The geometric mean of the measures of the line segments AD and DC is 60/13
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometric mean: BD² = AD×DC
BD = √(AD×DC)
hypotenuse/leg = leg/part
ΔADB: AC/12 = 12/AD
AC×AD = 12×12 = 144
AD = 144/AC
ΔBDC: AC/5 = 5/DC
AC×DC = 5×5 = 25
DC = 25/AC
BD = √[(144/AC)(25/AC)]
BD = (12×5)/AC
BD= 60/AC
Apply Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC
AC² = 12² + 5²
AC² = 144+ 25 = 169
AC = √169 = 13
BD = 60/13
The geometric mean of the measures of the line segments AD and DC is BD = 60/13

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
9x-14
Step-by-step explanation:
7 times 2 is 14, and 5x plus 4x is 9x so it is 9x-14
Answer:
6 pieces.
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 divided by 1/8
= 3/4 / 1/8
Invert the 1/8 and multiply:
= 3/4 * 8/1
= 24/4
= 6.
