we know that

If C is between A and B

then

$AB=AC+CB$

Examples

N $1$ 

Let

$AB=10\ units \\AC=5\ units$

Find the value of CB

substitute in the equation above

$AB=AC+CB$

$10=5+CB$

$CB=5\ units$

in this case

$AC=CB$

N $2$ 

Let

$AB=10\ units \\AC=8\ units$

Find the value of CB

substitute in the equation above

$AB=AC+CB$

$10=8+CB$

$CB=2\ units$

in this case

$AC\neq CB$

therefore

the answer is

sometimes

In ∆MNP, m∠N = 90º, NH – altitude, m∠P = 21º, PM = 4 cm. Find MH.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

0.51 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In right triangle MNP, MP = 4 cm, m∠N = 90°, m∠P = 21°

By the sine definition,

$\sin \angle P=\dfrac{\text{Opposite leg}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{MN}{MP}\\ \\MN=MP\sin \angle P\\ \\MN=4\sin 21^{\circ}\approx 1.43\ cm$

Now, consider right triangle HMN (it is right because NH is an altitude). By the cosine definition,

$\cos \angle M=\dfrac{\text{Adjacent leg}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{MH}{MN}\\ \\MH=MN\cos \angle M$

In the right triangle, two acute angles are always complementary, so

$m\angle M=90^{\circ}-m\angle P=90^{\circ}-21^{\circ}=69^{\circ}$

Thus,

$MH=1.43\cos 69^{\circ}\approx 0.51\ cm$

Rudi bought 12.5 yards of fabric to make pillows. Each pillow requires 1.75 yards of fabric. Use compatible numbers to estimate

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Hi there!

Using compatible numbers it would be:

12 ÷ 2 = 6.

Now when you divide it, the answer would be close to 6.

So, 12 ÷ 2 = 6 would be using compatible numbers.

Hope this helps ;)

chelsea takes the bus to school,but she walks home. the bus travels to the school at an average speed of 45 miles per hour. whil

jekas [21]

For this case, the first thing you should know is:
d: v * t
Where,
d: distance
v: speed
t: time
To go to school by bus we have:
d = 45 * t
To return from school we have:
d = 2.5 * (1-t)
how the distance is the same:45 * t = 2.5 * (1-t)
Answer:
the equation that will help find the time it takes chelsea to get to school on the bus is:
45 * t = 2.5 * (1-t)
Note: the equation will have one solution.
