Answer: Line AC = 36
Step-by-step explanation: The first and most important clue is the fact that points B, D and F are midpoints of the triangle ACE. What this tells us is that point B divides line AC into two equal sides. Likewise points D and F. If point D divides line EC into two equal sides, then line ED equals
39/2 = 19.5
Also, triangle FED is similar to triangle AEC. Since ED is half of EC, and FE is half of AE. Therefore in triangles FED and AEC,
FD/ED = AC/EC
18/19.5 = AC/39
By cross multiplication we now have
(18 x 39)/19.5 = AC
702/19.5 = AC
36 = AC
Therefore line AC = 36
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A circumcircle can be referred to as a circumscribed circle to a triangle. The steps to follow is stated below:
i. Since the triangle is equilateral, draw the triangle with sides 6.5 cm
ii. Bisect any of its two sides. The two bisecting lines would intersect at center, O, of the triangle.
iii. With the center and either radius OA, OB or OC, draw a circumscribed circle to the triangle.
The construction is attached to this answer for clarifications.
B is the answer I know because I took the test
Hi! your answer should be 7.64 if I am not mistaken
