Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

Question Image is attached.

Triangle BED and Triangle CFD are similar.

We can let the length of BD be 5x and DC 7x

We also know BC = 48, thus we can write:

5x + 7x = 48

12x = 48

x = 4

Now, Since DC = 7x, we plug in x = 4 into it.

DC = 7x

DC = 7(4)

DC = 28

Length of DC is 28

Multi-step K is the midpoint of JL, JL=4x-2, and JK=7. Find x, KL, and JL
ddd [48]
If K is midpoint of JL then JK = 0.5JL

JL = 4x - 2; JK = 7

The equation:
0.5(4x - 2) = 7
2x - 1 = 7      |add 1 to both sides
2x = 8        |divide both sides by 2
<u>x = 4</u>

<u>JL</u> = 4(4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = <u>14</u>

<u>KL</u> = JK =<u> 7</u>

Consider a triangle ABC like the one below. Suppose that a = 31, b = 23, and c = 20. (The figure is not drawn to scale.) Solve t
krok68 [10]

The solution to the triangle is A = 92.0, B = 47.9 and C = 40.1

<h3>How to solve the triangle?</h3>

The figure is not given;

However, the question can still be solved without it

The given parameters are:

a = 31, b = 23, and c = 20

Calculate angle A using the following law of cosine

a² = b² + c² - 2bc * cos(A)

So, we have:

31² = 23² + 20² - 2 * 23 * 20 * cos(A)

Evaluate

961 = 929 - 920 * cos(A)

Subtract 929 from both sides

32 =- 920 * cos(A)

Divide both sides by -920

cos(A) = -0.0348

Take the arc cos of both sides

A = 92.0

Calculate angle B using the following law of sine

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B)

So, we have:

31/sin(92) = 23/sin(B)

This gives

31.0189 = 23/sin(B)

Rewrite as:

sin(B) =23/31.0189

Evaluate

sin(B) =0.7415

Take arc sin of both sides

B = 47.9

Calculate angle C using:

C = 180 - 92.0 - 47.9

Evaluate

C = 40.1

Hence, the solution to the triangle is A = 92.0, B = 47.9 and C = 40.1

Find the lateral area of the regular prism with height h , if the base of the prism is: Equilateral triangle with the side 4 cm
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

the lateral area of the regular prism is 30 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

the base of the regular prism, b 4cm

height of the prism, h = 2.5 cm

The lateral area of the regular prism is calculated as the product of the base perimeter and height of the prism.

L.A = P x h

where;

P is the perimeter of the base = 3 x 4cm (equilateral triangle has equal sides)

P = 12 cm

L.A = 12 cm x 2.5 cm

L.A = 30 cm²

Therefore, the lateral area of the regular prism is 30 cm².

Help!!!!! please!!!!!
GaryK [48]

Answer: D) 602.88

Step-by-step explanation:

A cylinder is basically a circle prism.  Any prism volume can be found by taking the area of the base * the height.  The circle area is 4^2*3.14 = 50.24.  Then multiply that by the height(12)  50.24*12 = 602.88

Also, so far all of your questions that I've answered have been D...
