Segment addition postulate. Trying to help my son figure out how to solve. Given AC=39. A=2x-8, B=x×17. Find X, AB AND BC. We go

t 25 for X, and 42 for both AB, BC. Its not correct. 42+42 does not equal 39.

Segment addition postulate says
AB+BC=AC

assuming that A, B, C are in order, and assuming that those are the points,

legnth of AC=|A-C|=39 (|x| means absolute value of x)

A=2x-8
b=17x
AB=|A-B|=|2x-8-17x|=|-8-15x|


we are only given AB but not BC so this is not solvable unless you know BC
AB+BC=AC
BC=AC-AB

BC=39-|-8-15x|
that's as far as I can go since we don't know any more

Tatami mats are used as a floor covering in Japan. one possible layout uses four identical rectangular mats and one square mat.
Basile [38]
So by definition, area is equal to the length (x) times the width (y). The area of the square mat is = x × y, or xy
If the area of<span> the rectangular mat is twice that of the square mat, the area of the rectangular mat would have to be = 2 </span>× x × y<span>
This can be written as 2x </span>× y, making the length of the rectangular mat twice that of the square mat's length, and the width the same as the square mat's width.<span>

If sin phi sin theta = 0.2 and sin phi cos theta = -0.3 and sin phi &gt; 0 what is theta ? Repeat for sin phi &lt; 0.
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

θ = -33.69°

Step-by-step explanation:

For Φ>0 and Φ<0  (in general Φ≠nπ  where n is an integer), sin(Φ) ≠ 0

Dividing both equations:

\frac{sin(\phi) sin(\theta)}{sin(\phi)cos(\theta)} = tan(\theta) = 0.2/(-0.3)=-2/3\\

Therefore:

arctan(θ) = -2/3

  θ = -33.69°

The answer does not depend on the sign of Φ, in fact we just need that the sine does not become zero, which occurs when Φ is equal to an integer times π (radians) or 180 (degrees)
