12 subtract 2 times 5 plus 7 is 9
Answers:
CB = 14
GF = 8
FB = 9
EF is parallel to CB
====================================
Explanations:
Points E and F are midpoints of their respective sides. They form the midsegment EF. Because EF is a midsegment, A midsegment is half the length of its parallel counterpart, so CB is two times longer than EF. If EF is 7 units long, then CB = 2*EF = 2*7 = 14
For similar reasons, GF is parallel to AC. If AC = 16, then half of that is GF = (1/2)*AC = 0.5*16 = 8.
FB = FA = 9 as these segments have the same single tickmark to indicate they are the same length
EF is parallel to CB because EF is a midsegment, and this is one of the properties of being a midsegment. We can show that quadrilateral EGBF is a parallelogram to help prove this.
The answer is D it shrinks to 35
15,000 + 140 + 3 + .7 + .16 = 15,143.86 hope this helps
