Is it possible for a segment to have more than one bisector? Explain your reasoning.

1 answer:

Yes.

A bisector of a line segment is a line which divides the line segment into two equal parts.
A bisector of a line can divide the line in many different ways forming different angles.
A bisector is said to be a perpendicular bisector if the angle at the intersection of the two lines is 90 degrees.
But, there are several other bisectors that are not perpendicular bisectors.

Therefore, it is possible for a segment to have more than one bisector.

PLEASE HELP what is the coefficient in the expression below 2x-8

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

2x - 8

Parts of an equation:

2 - coefficient

x - variable

8 - constant

The number 2 is not a coefficient in the expression. FALSE.

The expression has three terms. FALSE. two terms only: 2x & 8

The variable in the expression is x. TRUE

The number 2 is a constant in the expression. FALSE

The expression has one variable term. FALSE. 2x is term but it's a combination of a number and a letter. Variable term is letter only.

Please solve asap pls x

Answer:

$x=\frac{26}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{10x+4}{7}=8$

Multiply both sides by 7:

$\longmapsto$ $\frac{7\left(10x+4\right)}{7}=8\times \:7$

$\longmapsto$ $10x+4=56$

Subtract 4 from both sides:

$\longmapsto$ $10x+4-4=56-4$

$\longmapsto$ $10x=52$

Divide both sides by 10:

$\longmapsto$ $\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{52}{10}$

$\longmapsto$ $x=\frac{26}{5}$

A circular plot with a 160 foot diameter is watered by a spray irrigation system. To the nearest square foot, what is the area t

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

A circular plot is watered by a sprinkler that rotates through it. The sprinkler only rotates through a semi-circle, or half of the whole circle.

Area of a circle: A = pi x r^2

r = 160 / 2 = 80

A = pi x 80^2

A = 6400pi / 2 = 3200pi

3200pi = 10053.0965

The area water is approximately 10,053 ft^2.

Hope this helps!! :)

3 students are selected from a class that has 10 boys and 5 girls. what is the probability that 1 boy and 2 girls are selected?

Nookie1986 [14]

Chances of drawing a boy the first time = 12/16.
Chances of drawing a boy the second time = 11/15. 
Chances of drawing a boy the third time = 10/14. 

(12/16)(11/15)(10/14) = about 39.3%.
