Answer:
(a) -20 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The proportion can be solved using "cross multiply" as the first step. This eliminates the fractions and turns it into a linear equation.
2/7 = -5/(x +3) . . . . . given
2(x +3) = -35 . . . . . . multiply by 7(x +3)
2x = -41 . . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract 6
x = -20 1/2 . . . . . . divide by 2
1) Given
2) Adding segments AB and BC together gives AC (Addition postulate, not too sure about the terminology)
3) Segment Addition postulate
4) Segment Addition postulate(Knowing that AC=BD, the distance between BC and CD add up to BD, shown in #3. AB and BC add together to give AC)
5) Subtraction property of Equality
Hope I helped :)
Answer:
3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We see that points A and B are on the same horizontal line, and and they are 10 units apart. C and D are on their own horizontal line and they are also 10 apart. This means that this is a square, so we multiply one side by itself
10²=100
The area is 100 square units.
Have a wonderful day! :D
