Answer:
Firstly, from the diagram we are given that the length of XB is congruent to BZ, and YC is congruent to CZ. Based on this information, we know that B is the midpoint of XZ, and C is the midpoint of YZ. This means that BC connects the midpoints of segments XZ and YZ. Now that we know this, we can use the Triangle Midsegment Theorem to calculate the length of BC. This theorem states that if a segment connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle, then the segment is equal to one-half the length of the third side. In this scenario, the third side would be XY, which has a length of 12 units. Therefore, the length of BC = 1/2(XY), and we can substitute the value of XY and solve this equation:
BC = 1/2(XY)
BC = 1/2(12)
BC = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Please support my answer.
3 is incorrect, should be 28.9
16^2 + 18^2 = EG^2
256 + 324
580 = EG^2
EG ≈ 24.08
16^2 + 24.08^2 = AG^2
256 + 580 = AG^2
836 = AG^2
AG ≈ 28.9
5 is incorrect:
The base is 8.
Draw an altitude the base.
Since the triangle is isoceles, it divides the base in half.
Half of that base is 4.
Two right triangles have been formed with one leg 4 and hypotenuse 8.
4^2 + b^2 = 8^2
16 + b^2 = 64
b^2 = 48
b ≈ 6.93
The height of the triangle is 6.93, the base is 8.
A = bh/2 = 8*6.93/2 ≈ 27.7 ≈ 28
The answer is C it won’t let me do all the steps but I hope it helps
