You are correct. DF is half as long as AC since DF is the parallel midsegment to AC

AC = 2*DF
AC = 2*16
AC = 32

The info about EC = 38 is extra info most likely put in there to throw you off, or as a distraction.

Answer: Yes, the answer 32 is correct.

Explanation: Since, According to the mid point theorem, the line segment connecting the midpoints of the two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is half of the third side of triangle.

Here, FD is the line segment connecting to the midpoints F and D and it is parallel and half of the third side AC.

Thus, FD=AC/2⇒ AC=2FD

But, according to the question, FD=16 so, AC=2×16=32

Thus, AC=32 unit will be the answer.

the middle School golf team is selling golf balls to raise $850 for new equipment they sell golf balls for $2 each a case has 24

aniked [119]

Answer:

The number of cases of golf ball that team needed to raise money for equipment is 3 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The amount needed for new equipment = $850

The cost of each golf ball = $2

The number of packs of golf ball in each case = 24

The number of golf ball in each pack = 6

Let The number of cases of golf ball team needed to raise money for equipment = n cases

Now, According to question

∵ 1 pack has 6 balls

so, 24 pack has 6 × 24

i.e 24 packs has 144 balls

So, The number of balls in each case` = 144 balls

<u>Again</u>

∵ cost of 1 ball = $2

So, cost of 144 balls = $2 × 144

i.e cost of 144 balls in each case = $288

<u>Again</u>

∵ The amount needed for new equipment = $850

So, The number of cases of golf ball team needed to raise money for equipment = $\dfrac{amount needed for new equipmen}{cost of 144 balls in each case }$

Or, n = $\dfrac{850}{288}$

∴ n = 2.9 ≈ 3

So, The number of cases of golf ball that team needed to raise money for equipment = n = 3

Hence, The number of cases of golf ball that team needed to raise money for equipment is 3 . Answer

A roofer sketches a diagram of a house on which he is working.

docker41 [41]

Using the SSA formula:

X = SQRT ( 40^2 + 26^2 - 2*40*26*cos(65))

X = SQRT(2276 - 2080*cos(65))

X = SQRT(1396.954)

X = 37.37 = 37.4 ft.

Find an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope -12 and y-intercept = 1/2

Kruka [31]

M = -12
point = (0, 1/2)

Find the slope-intercept equation
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 1/2 = -12 (x - 0)
y - 1/2 = -12x
y = -12x + 1/2
