Answer:

Option B) 4 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

step 1

Find the value of n

we know that

a) GJ is a midsegment of triangle DEF

then

G is the midpoint segment DF and J is the midpoint segment EF

DG=GF and EJ=JF

b) HK is a midsegment of triangle GFJ

then

H is the midpoint segment GF and K is the midpoint segment JF

GH=HF and JK=KF

In this problem we have

HF=7 cm

so

GH=7 cm

GF=GH+HF ----> by addition segment postulate

GF=7+7=14 cm

Remember that

DG=GF

substitute the given values

2n-1=14

solve for n

2n=14+1

2n=15

n=7.5\ cm

step 2

Find the length of GJ

we know that

The <u><em>Midpoint Theorem</em></u> states that the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side

so

GJ=\frac{1}{2}DE

we have

GE=2n+1=2(7.5)+1=16\ cm

substitute

GJ=\frac{1}{2}16=8\ cm

step 3

Find the length of HK

we have that

HK=\frac{1}{2}GJ ----> by the midpoint theorem

we have

GJ=8\ cm

substitute

HK=\frac{1}{2}8=4\ cm

How many times larger is 3.19 x 10^8 than 8.23 x 10^5? SHOW YOUR WORK!!!
svet-max [94.6K]

In order to find the number times something is larger than something, you have to use division where you divide the larger number by the smaller number.

So:

\frac{3.19*10^8}{8.23*10^5} =387.6063183

I'm not sure how much you want to round to,  but the answer is 387.6063183 times.

You can make sure by multiplying the smaller number by 387.6063183 and you should get the larger number:

8.25*10^5*387.6063183=3.19*10^8

Adjust the equation so the line passes through the points. Y=x+1
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Slope=  

2.000

2.000

​  

=1.000

x−intercept=  

−1

1

​  

=−1.00000

y−intercept=  

1

1

​  

=1.00000

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    y-(x+1)=0  

STEP

:

Equation of a Straight Line

1.1     Solve   y-x-1  = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  y-x-1  = 0 and calculate its properties

Graph of a Straight Line :

 

 

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 1/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 1.00000

 y-intercept = 1/1  =  1.00000  

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When y = 0 the value of x is 1/-1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x=-1.00000

 x-intercept = 1/-1  = -1.00000  

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 1.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 3.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 3.000 - 1.000 = 2.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

   Slope     =  2.000/2.000 =  1.000  

Geometric figure: Straight Line

1.  Slope = 2.000/2.000 = 1.000

2. x-intercept = 1/-1 = -1.00000

3.  y-intercept = 1/1 = 1.00000
