Answer:

The measure of segment AC is 36 units

Step-by-step explanation:

- The mid-point divides the segment into two equal parts in length

- B is the mid point of segment AC

- That means B divides segment AC into two equal parts in length

∴ AB = BC

∵ AC = 5x - 9

∵ AB = 2x

- The two parts AB and BC are equal in length

∴ BC = 2x

∵ AC = AB + BC

- Substitute the values of AB and BC in the expression of AC

∴ AC = 2x + 2x

∴ AC = 4x

∵ AC = 5x - 9

- Equate the two values of AC

∴ 5x - 9 = 4x

- Add 9 to both sides

∴ 5x = 4x + 9

- Subtract 4x from both sides

∴ x = 9

- Substitute the value of x in any expression of AC

∵ AC = 4x

∵ x = 9

∴ AC = 4(9) = 36

* The measure of segment AC is 36 units

Actual lengths of pregnancy terms for a particular species of mammal are nearly normally distributed about a mean pregnancy leng
HACTEHA [7]

Solution :

The data is normally distributed.

The standard deviation is 18 days

Here the data is normally distributed and 54 days is 3 days of standard deviation.

Therefore, the percentage of the births that would be \text{expected to occur} within the 54 days of the mean \text{pregnancy} length is given by :

= P( -3 < Z < 3)

= 0.9544

= 95 %

Therefore, about 95% of the births would be \text{expected to occur} within 54 days of the men \text{pregnancy} length.

Which function models the area of a rectangle with side lengths of 2x – 4 units and x + 1 units? What is the area when x = 3?
Bingel [31]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = 2x-4

Width = x+1

Let x=3 and find the length and width

Length = 2*3-4 = 6-4 =2

Width = x+1= 3+1 =4

The  area is given by

A = l*w = 2*4 = 8
