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

irakobra [83]

Answer:

The correct option is 1/4^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

4^6 * 4^-8

According to the same base rule if the exponents have the same base then the exponents will be added.

If we look at the given expression both the values have the same base.

Therefore we will add the exponents of the value.

= 4^6+(-8)

= 4^6-8

= 4^-2

Now to change the negative exponent into positive we will take it to the denominator.

4^-2 = 1/4^2

Thus the correct option is A....

Stefano is at +10 elevation while the hiker is at -166.4 elevation. The difference would be 10 - (-166.4) = 10 + 166.4 = 176.4 or approximately 176 meters

The population of monkeys is decreasing at an annual rate of 3% per year.
Ray Of Light [21]
Since there are 12 months in a year, you would divide 3%, which is 0.3 converted to decimal, by 12

0.3 divided by 12 = 0.025

To round that answer by the nearest hundredth, you would look at the last digit.

Since that digit is a five, your rounded answer would be 0.03
