First, think this through. If you are 23 miles from Sacramento, and 110 miles from Oakland (I am assuming it is miles since you didn't specify *cough cough*) then the two cities are 133 miles apart (also assuming you are in between them)
23miles + 110miles = 133miles
so, we use the midpoint formula to find our position
\frac{distance}{ 2}
and get 66.5 miles from both Sacramento and Oakland.

Next, we already know the sign is 23 miles away from Sacramento so we can use that distance and our position to figure out how far away the sign is. We use absolute values because distance is always positive.
|our \: position - distance \: of \: sign|

so we get
|66.5miles - 23miles|  = 43.5miles
to double check, use the sign's distance from Oakland.
|66.5miles - 110miles|  = 43.5miles
so, we are 43.5 miles from the sign!

hope this helps

If line AD is a tangent to circle B at point C, and m ABC = 55°, what is the measure of BAD?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

145°

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways you can get there:

1. ∠ACB is a right angle, 90°. Hence, ∠BAC is the complement of ∠ABC, so is ...

... ∠BAC = 90° -∠ABC = 90° -55° = 35°

Then, ∠BAC and ∠BAD are a linear pair, so total 180°. That makes ∠BAD the supplement of ∠BAC, so ...

... ∠BAD = 180° -35° = 145°

2. ∠BAD is the exterior angle at A for the triangle ABC. It will have a measure that is the sum of the opposite interior angles: given ∠ABC = 55° and right angle ACB = 90°.

... ∠BAD = 55° +90° = 145°

Given the equation below, which of the following shows the quadratic formula
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x=\frac{-(-9)\pm\sqrt{(-9)^2-4(2)(4)} }{2 \times 2} \\x=\frac{9\pm\sqrt{81-32} }{4} \\x=\frac{9\pm\sqrt{49} }{4} \\x=\frac{9 \pm 7}{4} \\either~x=\frac{9+7}{4} =\frac{16}{4} =4\\or\\x=\frac{9-7}{4} =\frac{2}{4} =\frac{1}{2}
