Answer:

An angle bisector.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a ray (Line that extends only one infinitely while the other way has an eventual and perceivable end) that divides an angle (in this case, the angle of a triangle) into two equal parts.

The B-Clean Car Wash washed 128 cars in the 3 hours. At that rate how many cars can they wash in 8 hours? use a proportion.

krok68 [10]

128 : 3 :: w : 8 proportion

3w = (8)(128) product means/extremes

w = 341 ⅓ cars

Create a factorable polynomial with a GCF of 6. Rewrite that polynomial in two other equivalent forms. Explain how each form was

mel-nik [20]

We are asked in the problem to devise a polynomial equation that has a GCF of 6 which means each of the terms can be divided to 6. For example: 6*(x^2 + x+1) = 6x^2 + 6x +6. This polynomial is created by multiplying each terms by the number 6 which is distinguished by factoring.
