Point N lies on the side AB in △ABC. Points K and M are midpoints of segments
1 answer:
Answer:
CN = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
In the attached figure, we have drawn line CD parallel to AB with D a point on line MK. We know ΔMNT ~ ΔDCT by AA similarity, and because of the given angle congruence, both are isosceles with CD = CT. Likewise, we know ΔCDK is congruent to ΔBMK by AAS congruence, since BK = CK (given).
Then CD = BM (CPCTC). Drawing line NE creates isosceles ΔNEC ~ ΔTDC and makes CE = AB. Because ΔNEC is isosceles, CN = CE = AB = 7.
The length of segment CN is 7.
_____
If you assume CN is constant, regardless of the location of point N (which it is), then you can locate point N at B. That also collocates points T and K and makes ΔBMK both isosceles and similar to ΔBAC. Then CN=AB=7.

Given the 6 pound weight of the new seasoning having ingredients that cost $8, and $11, the amount she should charge for 1 ounce is $0.53125
<h3>Which method can be used to calculate the price of the new seasoning?</h3>The ingredients in the new seasoning are;
5 pounds of dried rose hips + 1 pounds of five-spice powder
Cost of the ingredients are;
1 pound of dried rose hips = $8
1 pound of five-spice powder = $11
The cost of combined spice, <em>C</em>, is therefore;
C = $8 × 5 + $11 × 1 = $51
The weight of the new combined seasoning = (5 + 1) pounds = 6 pounds
Cost of 1 pound of the new seasoning is therefore;
- 1 lb of the new seasoning = $8.5
- 1 lb = 16 ounces
Therefore;
- The amount she should charge for 1 ounce is $0.53125
