Answer:
4.2 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The law of cosines is applicable.
l² = k² +m² -2km·cos(L)
l² = 5.1² +1.2² -2·5.1·1.2·cos(35°) ≈ 17.4236
l ≈ √17.4236
l ≈ 4.2 . . . cm
Question 9
Given the segment XY with the endpoints X and Y
Given that the ray NM is the segment bisector XY
so
NM divides the segment XY into two equal parts
XM = MY
given
XM = 3x+1
MY = 8x-24
so substituting XM = 3x+1 and MY = 8x-24 in the equation
XM = MY
3x+1 = 8x-24
8x-3x = 1+24
5x = 25
divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 25/5
x = 5
so the value of x = 5
As the length of the segment XY is:
Length of segment XY = XM + MY
= 3x+1 + 8x-24
= 11x - 23
substituting x = 5
= 11(5) - 23
= 55 - 23
= 32
Therefore,
The length of the segment = 32 units
Question 10)
Given the segment XY with the endpoints X and Y
Given that the line n is the segment bisector XY
so
The line divides the segment XY into two equal parts at M
XM = MY
given
XM = 5x+8
MY = 9x+12
so substituting XM = 5x+8 and MY = 9x+12 in the equation
XM = MY
5x+8 = 9x+12
9x-5x = 8-12
4x = -4
divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = -4/4
x = -1
so the value of x = -1
As the length of the segment XY is:
Length of segment XY = XM + MY
= 5x+8 + 9x+12
= 14x + 20
substituting x = 1
= 14(-1) + 20
= -14+20
= 6
Therefore,
The length of the segment XY = 6 units
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle's lengths HAVE TO add up to 180 degrees.
5/8 = 2/3 the entire box
Half of 2/3 is 1/3, and 2/3 + 1/3 = 1
So find half of 5/8 and add it to 5/8.
5/8 * 1/2 = 5/16
5/8 + 5/16
Change 5/8 to a fraction with a denominator of 16:
10/16 + 5/16 = 15/16
So the original weight is 15/16 pounds.
