10.2 is the decimal of it
Since ABC is equilateral, all 3 sides have equal length. side AC is 8 units since side BC is 8 units.
Line BD is placed in the middle, making D the midpoint of side AC.
knowing this information we can determine that the length of DC is 4 units (half of AC)
since triangle BDC is a right triangle, we can use the side lengths in the pythagorean theorem to find the length of BD
a²+b²=c² where a & b = legs of triangle , and c= hypotenuse (longest side)
we are given the hypotenuse and found one leg so we can plug our values into the equation to find the third
4² + b²= 8²
16 + b² = 64
b² = 48
b =
b= 4√3 or about 6.928 units
hope this helped
First, find slope of point A and B using slope formula:
<u>y2-y1</u> = <u>7-0 </u>= <u>-7</u>
x2-x1 3-8 5
Next, use the point-slope formula to find the equation (pick either point A or B to substitute into this equation; the answer will be the same either way):
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-7=<u>-7</u>(x-3) (I used point B here)
5
y=<u>-7x</u> +<u>56</u> so the y-intercept is <u>56</u>. Hurray! Part 1 down!

Now to answer part 2. Since AB ll CD, they have the same slope: <u>-7</u>
5
Therefore, you can use the handy point-slope equation to calculate the equation of line CD. (Remember you only need one of the points to use this equation if you already have the slope.) Since the only point given is D(5,5), we'll use that one:
</span>y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-5=<u>-7</u>(x-5)
<span> 5
</span>y=<u>-7x</u> + 12 Yay! That's the answer to part 2; the equation of line CD

So all you have to do to find out how much she had before is add up both value 12.50+34.25= 46.75$ (answer)
because y-12.50=34.25 so you would have to had the 12.5 to the other side to find the value of Y
