The line CD is the median of thre trapezoid, therefore its measures is shown below:
 You must sum the largest base and the shortest base and divide both of them by 2, as following:
 CD=(4.5+2.5)/2
 CD=7/2
 CD=3.5
 Therefore, as you can see, the measure of the line CD is 3.5
 The answer is: 3.5

The correct answer is 3.5

A trapezoid is a 4-sided flat shape with straight sides. This shape has a pair of opposite sides parallel. So according to the figure we know the following:

\overline{AC}=\overline{CE}

And it is also true that:

\overline{BD}=\overline{EF}

We know that the lengths of the parallel sides are given by:

\overline{AB}=2.5 \\ \\ \overline{EF}=4.5

So the goal is to find the length of Line CD. This line is in fact the <em>median</em> of the trapezoid <span>(also called a midline or midsegment) that is a line segment half-way between the two bases and it can be found as follows:
</span>
m=\frac{\overline{AB}+\overline{EF}}{2}=\frac{2.5+4.5}{2}=\frac{7}{2} \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{\overline{CD}=m=3.5}

Diego is solving the equation x^2-12x = 21
uysha [10]

Answer:

The solutions to the quadratic equations will be:

x=\sqrt{57}+6,\:x=-\sqrt{57}+6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

x^2-12x\:=\:21

Let us solve the equation by completing the square

x^2-12x\:=\:21

Add (-6)² to both sides

x^2-12x+\left(-6\right)^2=21+\left(-6\right)^2

simplify

x^2-12x+\left(-6\right)^2=57

Apply perfect square formula: (a-b)² = a²-2ab+b²

i.e.

x^2-12x+\left(-6\right)^2=\left(x-6\right)^2

so the expression becomes

\left(x-6\right)^2=57

\mathrm{For\:}f^2\left(x\right)=a\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{a},\:-\sqrt{a}

solve

x-6=\sqrt{57}

add 6 to both sides

x-6+6=\sqrt{57}+6

Simplify

x=\sqrt{57}+6

also solving

x-6=-\sqrt{57}

add 6 to both sides

x-6+6=-\sqrt{57}+6

Simplify

x=-\sqrt{57}+6

Therefore, the solutions to the quadratic equation will be:

x=\sqrt{57}+6,\:x=-\sqrt{57}+6

85,000,000+2.9×10 5 pleas and thank you
irina [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you are asking for

85,000,000 + 2.9 x 10^5 =

8.5 x 10^7 + 2.9 x 10^5 =

10^5 ( 8.5 x10^2 + 2.9) =

10^5 ( 850+2.9) =

10^5 ( 852.9) =

10^5 x 8.529 x 10 ^2=

8.529 x 10^7

or

85,000,000 + 2.9 x 10^5 =

85,000,000 + 290,000 =

85290000 =

8.529 x 10 ^7 (because we moved 7 spots to the left)

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

the stock will sell for $59.16

Step-by-step explanation:

P0 =  2 * (1+0.2) / (1+0.105)  +  2 * (1+0.2) * (1+0.12)  /  (1+0.105)^2  +  

2*(1+0.2)*(1+0.12)^2 / (1+0.105)^3 +

[(2 * (1+0.2) * (1+0.12)^2 * (1+0.06) / (0.105-0.06))  /  (1+0.105)^3 ]

P0 = $59.16
