Answer:

To prove that sum of the measures of triangle XYZ is 180°

Out of the four options given

A. Construct a bisector of angle Z

B. Construct a midpoint of segment YZ

C. Construct a line parallel to segment XZ

D. Construct a perpendicular bisector of segment XY

Option C Construct a line parallel to segment XZ is correct.

Draw a line l passing through vertex Y parallel to XZ. As alternate angles becomes equal, and applying linear pair axiom on point Y and then By substitution you can prove sum of the measures of angles of triangle XYZ is 180°.

Brian tied a 136-foot rope around the perimeter of his rectangular house. He knows that the length of the house is 10 feet less

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

length 42 cm and width 26 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Since Brian tied 136 foot rope around the perimeter , hence perimeter of house is 136 foot.

Given that shape of house is rectangular.

formula to calculate perimeter of rectangle can be used which is 2*(L+B)

where L is length of rectangle and B width of rectangle

Let the L and B be length of rectangular side of house

According to question

length of house is 10 feet less than twice the width of house

mathematically it can be represented as

L = 2*B - 10 --->eq. 1

Perimeter of house = 136 feet

using formula of Perimeter of rectangle

136 = 2*(L+B)

substituting the value of length in terms of width from eq. 1 in formula of perimeter

=> 136/2 = 2*B - 10 + B (2*B+ B = 3B)

=> 68 = 3*B - 10

=> 78 = 3*B

B = 78/3 = 26

Therefore B which is width = 26 CM

length = 2*B - 10= 26*2 - 10 = 52-10=42

length of house = 42 cm

Hence dimension of Brian's house is length 42 cm and width 26 cm

6. Kari is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

5. All like terms can be combined. There will be one term remaining after they are.

___

6. The appropriate factoring is x(x+1). This is not the same as x(2x+1).

In order to show equivalence, you need to show that the expressions produce the same result for as many different values of x as the degree of the expression plus 1. That is, you'd need to show equivalence for <em>3 different values of x</em>, as a minimum for this second-degree expression.

2.Solve the following quadratic equations<br> i. 9x^2 - 1/16<br> ii. 2h^2 - 3h - 27

Juli2301 [7.4K]

$i)~9x^2-\dfrac{1}{16}=0\iff9x^2=\dfrac{1}{16}\iff x^2=\dfrac{1}{9\cdot16}\iff \\\\x^2=\dfrac{1}{144}\iff x=\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{144}}=\pm\dfrac{1}{12}\Longrightarrow\boxed{x=\pm\dfrac{1}{12}}$

$ii)~2h^2-3h-27=0\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\to \Delta=(-3)^2-4\cdot2\cdot(-27)\to\Delta=9+216=225\\\\
\Longrightarrow h=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\dfrac{-(-3)\pm\sqrt{225}}{2\cdot2}=\dfrac{3\pm15}{4}\\\\\begin{cases}h_1=\dfrac{3+15}{4}=\dfrac{18}{4}\iff \boxed{h_1=\dfrac{9}{2}}\\h_2=\dfrac{3-15}{4}=\dfrac{-12}{4}\iff\boxed{h_2=-3}\end{cases}$
