Since AB is the bisector, it divides the segment IK into two equal parts.
This means that IB and BK are equal because B is the halfway point.

C is the answer.

Answer:

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the line AB is Perpendicular Bisector of IK. It means the line AB is perpendicular on IK and the point B divides the line IK in two equal parts.

If a line is bisector of another line, then the point of intersection divides the second line is two equal parts.

Therefore the distance between intersection point and the endpoints of second line are same.

The intersection point is B and the end points of IK are I and K. So, we can say that

$BI=BK$

Option 3 is correct.

Two ships leave from the same port. One travels west 84 miles and the other travels 62 miles north. Determine the distance betwe

Lerok [7]

The distance the ships traveled are like the legs of a triangle and the question wants to know the hypotenuse. To find the hypotenuse, use the pythagorean theorem. this is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, with a and b being the legs and c being the hypotenuse.
Plug in known values:
84^2 + 62^2 = c^2
Solve:
84^2 = 7056
62^2 = 3844
7056 + 3844 = c^2
7056 + 3844 = 10900
10900 = c^2
Now you just need to isolate c by finding the square root of both sides.
√10900 = 104.403
√c^2 = c

So c = 104.403, or just 104.40 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
And if c is 104.40, then that means the hypotenuse is 104.40.
And all of that basically means that the distance between the ships is 104.40 miles.

what is the approximate percent increase when the population of a town increases from 12089 to 15025? round the amounts to the n

bulgar [2K]

The rate of increase is
$\frac{15025}{12089}\approx1.242865$

The percent of increase is then
$(1.242865-1)*100\%=0.242865*100\%=24.2865\%$

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! NEED QUICK HELP ASAP! Photo added! least common denominator x^3/x^2+4x+4 and -9/x^2+5x+6

Oksanka [162]

The denominator( s ) we are given are $x^2 + 4x + 4$ , and . The first thing we want to do is factor the expressions, to make this easier -

$x^2 + 4x + 4$

This expression is a perfect square, as ( x )^2 = x^2, ( 2 )^2 = 4, 2 * ( x ) * ( 2 ) = 4x. Thus, the simplified expression should be the following -

$( x + 2 )^2$

The other expression is, on the other hand, not a perfect square so we must break this expression into groups and attempt factorization -

$x^2 + 5x + 6,\\\left(x^2+2x\right)+\left(3x+6\right),\\x\left(x+2\right)+3\left(x+2\right),\\\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)\\\\Factored Expression = \left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)$
