Answer:
<em>C. 15</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that these segments formed from each parallel line are proportional, x/5 = x-6/3.
Now cross multiply by multiplying each denominator by the opposite numerator, this is so the denominators or bottom numbers of each fraction will cancel.
x/5 = x–6/3 → (3)(x/5) = (3)(x–6/3) → 3x/5 = x–6 →
(5)(3x/5) = (5)(x–6) → 3x = 5(x–6) → 3x = 5x – 30.
The last step is to do the basic algebra to find x:
3x = 5x – 30
–5x –5x
[5x will cancel when you subtract both sides by 5x]
-2x = -30
(-1) (-1)
[2 negatives make a positive when -1 is multiplied by an expression with a negative coefficient]
2x = 30
÷2 ÷2
[divide both sides by 2 to simplify 2x to x]
x = 15
_____
You can also check that both sides are proportional because
5 → x
x = 15
5 → 15
3 → x – 6
x = 15
3 → 9
5 × <u>3</u> = 15
3 × <u>3</u> = 9
Answer:
.
See the diagram attached below.
Let the chords be AB and AC with common point A.
AD is the diameter. Join B with D and C with D to form two triangles.
We need to prove that AB=AC.
\begin{gathered}In\ \triangle ABD\ and \triangle ACD;\\Given\ that\ \angle BAD=\angle CAD----(condition\ 1)\\since\ AD\ is\ diameter, \angle ABD=\angle ACD = 90^0\\So\ \angle ADB=\angle ADC--------(condition\ 2)\\AD=AD\ (common\ side)-----(condition\ 3)\\ \\So\ the\ triangles\ are\ congruent\ by\ ASA\ rule.\\Hence\ AB=AC.\end{gathered}
In △ABD and△ACD;
Given that ∠BAD=∠CAD−−−−(condition 1)
since AD is diameter,∠ABD=∠ACD=90
0
So ∠ADB=∠ADC−−−−−−−−(condition 2)
AD=AD (common side)−−−−−(condition 3)
So the triangles are congruent by ASA rule.
Hence AB=AC.
Answer: D.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Look at the range/IQR of each box-plot
2. The smaller the range = the less variability
Answer:
1/4h
Step-by-step explanation:
The car trip is 1/2h shorter than the bus trip.
The bus trip is 3/4h long.
Therefore, the length of the car trip is:
3/4h - 1/2h = 1/4h
The car trip is 1/4h long.
