Deffense [45]3 years ago

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

How many
Westkost [7]

Answer:

There are no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5 ( 20x + 5 ) = 16x - 2

Distibute on the left:

( 4/5 x 20 x ) + ( 4/5 x 5 ) = 16x - 2

16x + 4 = 16x - 2

Subtract 16x from both sides:

4=-2

Add 2 to each side:

6=0

Can you write this equation in point-slope form?<br><br> y = ½x + 4?
Svet_ta [14]
Yes.  This equation given:
______________________________
   " y = (½)x + 4 " ;  in point-slope form; also known as: "slope-intercept form" ; is:
______________________________________
    " y = (½)x + 4 " .
______________________________________
In other words, the equation given is ALREADY written in "point-slope form" ; or, "slope-intercept form".
______________________________________
Note:   An equation that is written in "point-slope form"
             (or, "slope-intercept form"), is written in the format of:
______________________________________
" y = mx + b " ;_________________
in which:_________________
"y" is a single, "stand-alone" variable on the "left-hand side of the equation"; "m" is the coefficient of "x"; also:
"m" is the slope of the line; which is what we want to solve for;
"b" is the "y-intercept"; or more precisely, the value of "x"
(that is; the "x-coordinate") of the point at which "y = 0";
that is, the value of "x" ; or the "x-coordinate" of the point at which
the graph of the equation crosses the "x-axis".
______________________________________
Note that in our given equation, which is written in "point-slope form" (or, "slope-intercept form" — that is:  " y = mx + b "  ;
_______________________________________
which is:  " y = (½)x + 4 " ;
_______________________________________
we have:
_______________________________________
  "y" isolated as "stand-alone" variable on the "left-hand side" of the equation;

  m = ½ ;
  b =  4 .

A triangle has a side length of 5.4 and 7 x x=​
Burka [1]

Answer:

D. 8.8

Step-by-step explanation:

As the pythagorean theorem.

A² + B² = C²,

5.4 × 5.4 + 7 × 7 = C²,

29.16 + 49 = C²,

78.16 = C²,

8.8 ≈ C
