Perpendicular Bisectors I'm confused on what to do here

Mathematics
1 answer:
Paha777 [63]3 years ago
8 0

bi(two)...sector(section).  Bisector cuts the segment into two equal sections.  

BC = CD             <em>definition of perpendicular bisector</em>

BC + CD = BD    <em>segment addition postulate</em>

CD + CD = BD   <em>substitution</em>

2CD = BD          <em>added like terms</em>

2CD = 16           <em>substitution</em>

  CD = 8            <em>division property of equality</em>

CD = y + 3         <em>given per graph</em>

y  + 3 = 8           <em>transitive property</em>

  y = 5               <em>subtraction property</em>

Answer: 5

Find the greatest possible error for each measurement.<br> 10 1/8 oz
scoray [572]

<u>Answer:</u>

0.0005 oz

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Usually, the greatest number that is allowed for approximation, assuming that the number itself is obtained by approximation, is the greatest possible error of it.

It is normally half the place value of the last digit in a number.

Like here we have 10\frac{1}{8} oz which is equal to 10.125 oz. The last digit is 5 which is at the thousandth place (0.001) so the greatest possible error for this would be its half.

\frac{0.001}{2} = 0.0005 oz

Through (3, 4) and perpendicular to y = (1/3)x - 3
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:3

x

−

2

y

=

7

Explanation:

Write the standard form of the line that goes through  

(

3

,

1

)

and is perpendicular to  

y

=

−

2

3

x

+

4

.

The equation  

y

=

−

2

3

x

+

4

is in slope intercept form

y

=

m

x

+

b

where  

m

= slope and  

b

= the  

y

intercept.

The slope of this line is then  

m

=

−

2

3

A perpendicular slope is the opposite sign reciprocal. So, we change the sign of  

−

2

3

and switch the numerator and denominator.

Perpendicular slope  

m

=

3

2

To find the equation of the new line, use the point slope equation

y

−

y

1

=

m

(

x

−

x

1

)

where  

m

=

slope and  

(

x

1

,

y

1

)

is a point.

The slope is  

3

2

and the point is the given point  

(

3

,

1

)

.

y
