M is the incenter of triangle ABC. Find the lengths of MD and DC. (Look at pic)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Deffense [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Part 1) MD=9\ units

Part 2) DC=12\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the length of MD

we know that

The incenter is the intersection of the angle bisectors of the three vertices of the triangle. Is the point forming the origin of a circle inscribed inside the triangle

so

In this problem

MD=ME=MF ------> is the radius of a circle inscribed inside the triangle

we have that

MF=9\ units

therefore

ME=9\ units

MD=9\ units

Step 2

Find the length of DC

we know that

In the right triangle MDC

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

MC^{2} =MD^{2}+DC^{2}

we have

MD=9\ units

MC=15\ units

substitute

15^{2} =9^{2}+DC^{2}

DC^{2}=225-81

DC=\sqrt{144}\ units

DC=12\ units

The values of x for which the rational expression is undefined are -6 and -8.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

It is defined as a special type of relationship, and they have a predefined domain and range according to the function every value in the domain is related to exactly one value in the range.

We have a rational function:

\rm f(x) = \dfrac{3x+20}{x^2+14x+48}

As we know in the rational function denominator cannot be zero:

The values of x for which the rational expression is undefined.

x² + 14x + 48 = 0

\rm x_{1,\:2}=\dfrac{-14\pm \sqrt{14^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \:48}}{2\cdot \:1}

\rm x_1=\dfrac{-14+2}{2\cdot \:1},\:x_2=\dfrac{-14-2}{2\cdot \:1}

x = -6, -8


Thus, the values of x for which the rational expression is undefined are -6 and -8.

If the measure of an angle is 78 less than the measure of its compliment, what is the measure of the angle?
aliina [53]
Complementary angles add up to 90'
So let X= angle 1
         Y=angle 2
So x+y=90
let x=y-78
so(y-78)+y=90
y-78+y=90
2y-78=90
2y=90+78
2y=168
y=168/2
y=84
x=y-78
so x=84-78
x=6
And 6+84=90
So the measure of the angle is 6 degrees.
Hope i helped!

Find the product: 377(10, 000).
Illusion [34]

Answer:

37, 700, 000

Step-by-step explanation:

377(10,000) = 377 x 10,000

= 37, 700, 000

an easy way to see it is to just add the number of zeros from 10,000 to 377. since there are four zeros, you put four zeros behind 377.
