Answer:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

It gives you the value of the midsegment, which is 16. So you need to set up the equation as:

x + 4 = 2 × 16

You're multiplying 16 (the midsegment) by 2, because the it is <em>half</em> of x + 4, and you need to be able to set both parts of the equation equal to each other.

x + 4 = 32

Then, subtract 4 from both sides:

x + 4 = 32

-4 -4

_________

This gives you the answer of:

x = 28

Carpenters use a tool called a speed square to help them mark right angles . A speed square is a right triangle

Ronch [10]

Answer:

A. $Area = \frac{1}{2}(2x^2 - 2x - 24)$

B. $Area = 3.75 in^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

A. $Area = \frac{1}{2}bh$

Where,

$b = 2x + 6$

$h = x - 4$

Plug in the values to get a polynomial that represents the area of the tool

$Area = \frac{1}{2}(2x + 6)(x - 4)$

$Area = \frac{1}{2}(2x(x - 4) + 6(x - 4)$

$Area = \frac{1}{2}(2x^2 - 8x + 6x - 24)$

$Area = \frac{1}{2}(2x^2 - 2x - 24)$

B. To find area, when x = 4.5 in, plug in the value of x into the equation for the area of the tool.

$Area = \frac{1}{2}(2(4.5)2 - 2(4.5) - 24)$

$Area = \frac{1}{2}(2(20.25) - 9 - 24)$

$Area = \frac{1}{2}(40.5 - 9 - 24)$

$Area = \frac{1}{2}(7.5)$

$Area = 3.75 in^2$

The price of grapes at the grocery store is $1.44 per pound. There are approximately 0.45 kilometers in a pound. To the nearest

Nadusha1986 [10]

0.45 * 2 is 0.9
$1.44 * 2 is $2.88
$1.44/9 is $0.16
$0.16 * 2 is $0.32
$2.88+$0.32 is $3.20

The answer is $3.20

-12<-6x please help

pishuonlain [190]

-12 < -6x

-12/-6 > x divide both sides by -6

12/6 > x two negatives makes a positive

2 > x simplify

x < 2 switch sides

hope this helps, God bless!

A triangle has two sides of length 1 and 8. What is the smallest possible whole-number length for the third side?

valkas [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For the smallest possible length, this has to be one of the shorter sides. Let the length of this side be x.

So, by the triangle inequality theorem, 1+x>8, which means x>7.

So, the smallest possible whole number length is 8.
