Answer: 48 units

Given,
ABCD is a parallelogram
The diagonals bisect at E
Line segment AE = t + 2
Line segment CE = 3t – 14
Line segment DE = 2t + 8

Line segment DB is unknown

Since ABCD is a Parallelogram, Midpoint AC = Midpoint DB
The midpoint is E
Therefore
AE = CE                … (Equation I)
DE = BE                … (Equation II)

DB = DE + BE
Since DE = BE (Equation II),
DB = 2DE = 2BE

Given, DE = 2t + 8
DB = 2(2t + 8)
DB = 4t + 16        … (Equation III)

To solve for the value of ‘t’
AE = CE                … (Equation I)
Line segment AE = t + 2
Line segment CE = 3t – 14
Therefore, t + 2 = 3t – 14


Subtract t from both sides of the equation
3t – 14 – t = t + 2 – t
2t – 14 = 2

Add 14 to both sides of the equation
2t – 14 + 14 = 2 + 14
2t = 16
t = 8

Substitute 8 for t in Equation III to solve for the length of line segment DB
DB = 4t + 16        … (Equation III)
DB = (4*8) + 16
DB = 32 + 16
DB = 48

Therefore, the length of line segment DB is 48 units

Write the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 49 inches in terms of pi
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

153.94

Step-by-step explanation:

c=2r*r

The radius is half of the diameter.

To find the radius you will divide 49 inches by 2.

You should get a total of 24.5

Now that you have your radius you are going to use the circumference formula to solve.

C= 2r*r

C=2(24.5)*(24.5)

type that into the calculator (without the parenthesis) and boom your done!

You answer should be 153.938

then you round to get a total of 153.94

I hope i was able to help!

What’s the slope of this graph?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a negative slope so therefore the final answer is negative. You can use rise over run since a graph is provided. Start from point (0,3) count down until you get to the line if the second point. That would be 2 down...then you count across to the point. That's 4. The slope is -2/4 but simplified is -1/2.

3. Segment GE is an angle bisector of both
777dan777 [17]

ΔHGE and ΔFGE are congruent by the Angle-Side-Angle Congruence Theorem (ASA).

<em><u>Recall:</u></em>

  • A segment that divides an angle into equal parts is known as an angle bisector.
  • Two triangles are congruent by the ASA Congruence Theorem if they share a common side and have two pairs of congruent angles.

In the diagram given, Angle bisector, GE, divides ∠HEF into congruent angles,  ∠HEG ≅ ∠GEF.

Also divides ∠FGH into congruent angles, ∠HGE ≅ ∠FGE.

Both triangles also share a common side, GE

<em>This implies that: ΔHGE and ΔFGE have:</em>

two pairs of congruent angles - ∠HEG ≅ ∠GEF and ∠HGE ≅ ∠FGE

a shared side - GE

Therefore, ΔHGE and ΔFGE are congruent by the Angle-Side-Angle Congruence Theorem (ASA).
