Answer as a fraction: AB = 127/13 (exact)
Answer in decimal form: AB = 9.76923 (approximate)
Sides AC and BC are the same length as AB.
=====================================================
Work Shown:
AB = (3/2)x+4
AC = (1/5)x+9
These sides are equal to each other since all sides of an equilateral triangle are the same length.
AB = AC
(3/2)x+4 = (1/5)x+9
10*[ (3/2)x+4 ] = 10*[ (1/5)x+9 ] ... see note below
10*(3/2)x + 10*4 = 10*(1/5)x + 10*9
15x + 40 = 2x + 90
15x-2x = 90-40
13x = 50
x = 50/13
Note: I multiplied both sides by the LCD (lowest common denominator) 10 to clear out the fractions.
------------
Once we know what x is, we plug it into the expression for AB
AB = (3/2)x+4
AB = (3/2)*(50/13) + 4
AB = (3*50)/(2*13) + 4
AB = (3*2*25)/(2*13) + 4
AB = (3*25)/(13) + 4
AB = 75/13 + 4
AB = 75/13 + 52/13
AB = (75+52)/13
AB = 127/13 which is exact
AB = 9.76923 which is approximate
Because we have an equilateral triangle, AB = BC = AC.
Answer:
<h2>The length of the line segment VT is 13 units.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that SU and VT are chords. If the intersect at point R, we can define the following proportion
Where
Replacing all these expressions, we have
Solving for 
, we have
Now, notice that chord VT is form by the sum of RT and RV, so
Replacing the value of the variable
Therefore, the length of the line segment VT is 13 units.
Answer:
aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d
where:
aₙ = nth term
a₁ = first term
d = common difference
