The diagram for this problem is shown below. Point E is the intersection of the two diagonals and we know that:

Every internal angle of any rectangle measures 90 degrees, so:

So:

So the measure of angle BEC can be found as follows:
We know that triangle ΔCEB is an isosceles triangle because the diagonals of any rectangle measure the same. So

The sum of internal angles of any triangle add up to 180 degrees, so:

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
The factors of 12a are ...
2×2×3×a
The factors of 27 are ...
3×3×3
The only common factor is 3.
_____
12a -27 = 3(4a -9)
You would set up a proportion. 3/8 = 6/x... cross multiply ( 3*x = 3x and 6*8 = 48) 3x = 48... divide both sides by 3 (3x/3 = x and 48/3 = 16)
So, she originally had 16 feet of ribbon.
Answer:
roots: 1 and 3
k = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
2 roots: p and p+2
(x-p) (x-p-2) = x² - 4x + k
x² -2px -2x + p² + 2p = x² - 2 (p+1)x + (p² + 2p) = x² -4x + k
-2 (p+1) = -4
p+1 = 2
p = 1 ... root 1
p' = 1+2 = 3 ... root 2
k = p² + 2p = 3
check: (x-1) (x-3) = x² - 4x + 3 = x² - 4x + k
Answer:
y= -2x -8
Step-by-step explanation:
I will be writing the equation of the perpendicular bisector in the slope-intercept form which is y=mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.
A perpendicular bisector is a line that cuts through the other line perpendicularly (at 90°) and into 2 equal parts (and thus passes through the midpoint of the line).
Let's find the gradient of the given line.

Gradient of given line




The product of the gradients of 2 perpendicular lines is -1.
(½)(gradient of perpendicular bisector)= -1
Gradient of perpendicular bisector
= -1 ÷(½)
= -1(2)
= -2
Substitute m= -2 into the equation:
y= -2x +c
To find the value of c, we need to substitute a pair of coordinates that the line passes through into the equation. Since the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of the given line, let's find the coordinates of the midpoint.

Midpoint of given line



Substituting (-3, -2) into the equation:
-2= -2(-3) +c
-2= 6 +c
c= -2 -6 <em>(</em><em>-</em><em>6</em><em> </em><em>on both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>
c= -8
Thus, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is y= -2x -8.
