Answer:

The value of BC is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: A, B, and C are collinear, B lies between A and C, AC = 48, AB = 2x+2, and BC = 3x+6.

If A, B, and C are collinear, B lies between A and C, then by using segment addition property, we get

AB+BC=AC

Substitute AC = 48, AB = 2x+2, and BC = 3x+6 in the above equation.

(2x+2)+(3x+6)=48

On combining like terms we get

(2x+3x)+(2+6)=48

5x+8=48

Subtract 8 from both sides.

5x=48-8

5x=40

Divide 5 from both sides.

x=8

The value of x is 8.

We need to find the value of BC.

BC=3x+6\Rightarrow 3(8)+6=30

Therefore the value of BC is 30.

Answer:

BC=30

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = 48

AB = 2x+2

BC=3x+6

AC= AB + BC

48 = 2x+2+3x+6

48=5x+8

5x=40

x=8

Hence

BC = 3(8)+6

BC=24+6

BC=30

What expression represents the area???
galben [10]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is width times height.

(5p-7)(3p+4)

Multiply using FOIL method

(First, outer, inner, last)

(5p*3p) + (5p*4) + (-7*3p) + (-7*4) =

15p² + 20p -21p - 28 =

15p²-p -28 =

B is the closest one. They might have made a typo.

Caden removed the label of a soup can like the one shown. What is the approximate area of the label if the can is 4 inches high
Dominik [7]

EXPLANATION

If the height of the can is 4 inches and the diameter is 3--> radius=1.5 inches, the area is given by the following relationhip:

\text{Area}_{\text{label}}=2\pi rh

Replacing terms:

\text{Area}_{\text{label}}=2\pi\cdot1.5\cdot4=12\pi=37.7in^2

The approximate area is 37.7 in^2

Consider kite WXYZ. What are the values of a and b? a = 4; b = 10. a = 4; b = 40, a = 8; b = 10, a = 8; b = 40
Brut [27]

Check the picture below.

let's recall that a kite is a quadrilateral, and thus is a polygon with 4 sides

sum of all interior angles in a polygon

180(n - 2)      n = number of sides

so for a quadrilateral that'd be 180( 4 - 2 ) = 360, thus

\bf 3b+70+50+3b=360\implies 6b+120=360\implies 6b=240 \\\\\\ b=\cfrac{240}{6}\implies b=40 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \overline{XY}=\overline{YZ}\implies 3a-5=a+11\implies 2a-5=11 \\\\\\ 2a=16\implies a=\cfrac{16}{2}\implies a=8

I need to find the product of f and g. what is the domain and range of the product
velikii [3]

Step-by-step explanation:

Putting both functions into a graphing calculator, we can easily find the domain and range. (attatched)

By looking at the graph, we can tell that f(x) is a quadratic function because of the symmetry. We can also tell that it never goes below 4. Knowing this, we can determine the domain and range.

Domain: {x | all real numbers}

Range: {y | y > 4}

By looking at the graph, we can tell that g(x) is an exponential function because it has a curve, and never goes below the x. Knowing this, we can determine the domain and range.

Domain: {x | all real numbers}

Range: {y | y > 0}
