Answer:

The x-intercept of CD is B(18/5,0). The point C(32,-71) lies on the line CD.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: CD is perpendicular bisector of AB.

The coordinates of point A are (-3, 2) and the coordinates of point B are (7, 6).

Midpoint of AB is C.

C=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})=(\frac{7-3}{2},\frac{2+6}{2})=(2,4)

The coordinates of C are (2,4).

The slope of line AB is

m_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{6-2}{7-(-3)}=\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1. Since the line CD is perpendicular to AB, therefore the slope of CD is

m_2=-\frac{5}{2}

The point slope form of a line is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

The slope of line CD is -\frac{5}{2} and the line passing through the point (2,4), the equation of line CD is

y-4=-\frac{5}{2}(x-2)

y=-\frac{5}{2}x+5+4

y=-\frac{5}{2}x+9       .... (1)

The equation of CD is y=-\frac{5}{2}x+9.

Put y=0, to find the x-intercept.

0=-\frac{5}{2}x+9

\frac{5}{2}x=9

x=\frac{18}{5}

Therefore the x-intercept of CD is B(18/5,0).

Put x=-52 in equation (1).

y=-\frac{5}{2}(-52)+9=139

Put x=-20 in equation (1).

y=-\frac{5}{2}(-20)+9=59

Put x=32 in equation (1).

y=-\frac{5}{2}(32)+9=-71

Put x=-54 in equation (1).

y=-\frac{5}{2}(-54)+9=144

Only point (32,-71) satisfies the equation of CD. Therefore the point C(32,-71) lies on the line CD.

<u>Answer</u>

B(18/5,0)


<u>Explanation</u>

First we find the coordinates of C;

C (x, y) = [(-3+7)/2, (2+6)/2]

           = (2, 4)

Find the equation of CD.

slope = (6-2)/(7--3)

         = 4/10  = 2/5

slope of CD = -5/2

-5/2 = (y - 4)/(x - 2)

-5/2(x - 2) = y - 4

(-5/2) x + 5 = y - 4

y = (-5/2)x + 9

For the x-intercept y = 0

∴ y = (-5/2)x + 9  

 0 = (-5/2)x + 9  

5/2 x = 9

x = 2/5 × 9

  = 18/5

x-intercept  = (18/5, 0)

Find the perimeter and area of the polygon shown below.
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

I'm sorry. I cannot explicitly give you an answer. The picture of the polygon is not provided. You may have forgotten to upload it, nevertheless, I''ll try my best to be of help to you.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many different polygons. But the general formula to finding the perimeter of a polygon is:

P = n * l

n = number of sides

l= value shared and assigned to each side

The general formula to finding the area of a regular polygon is:

A = (n*l*apothem )/2

n = number of sides

l = length of one side

apothem = the value of the segment connecting the center of the polygon to a midpoint of one of the sides.

Hope this helps a little! You can always submit the question again with the picture and I'll be more than happy to help you. <3

Cas walks 3/5 miles in 24 min at a steady pace, how long does it take him to walk 2 miles?
san4es73 [151]
Your answer is 80 mins, or an hour and 20 mins. You simply turn that fraction to a decimal by diving 3 with 5. This should turn out to be 0.6. Then you multiply the 24 mins with the 2 miles and it turns out to be 48. After this, you divide 48 by 0.6 and you get 80.

Suppose you are asked to find the area of a rectangle that is 2.1-cm wide by 5.6-cm long. Your calculator answer would be 11.76
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is 12 cm² ⇒ in 2 significant figures

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets talk about the significant figures

- All non-zero digits are significant

# 73 has two significant figures

- Zeroes between non-zeros digits are significant

# 105.203 has six significant figures

- Leading zeros are never significant

# 0.00234 has three significant figures

- In a number with a decimal point, zeros to the right of the last

 non-zero digit are significant

# 19.00 has four significant figures

- Lets make a number and then approximate it to different significant

∵ 12.7360 has 6 significant figures

∴ 12.736 ⇒ approximated to 5 significant figures

∴ 12.74 ⇒ approximated to 4 significant figures

∴ 12.7 ⇒ approximated to 3 significant figures

∴ 13 ⇒ approximated to 2 significant figures

∴ 10 ⇒ approximated to 1 significant figure

- Another number with decimal point

∵ 0.0546700 has 6 significant figures

∴ 0.054670 ⇒ approximated to 5 significant figures

∴ 0.05467 ⇒ approximated to 4 significant figures

∴ 0.0547 ⇒ approximated to 3 significant figures

∴ 0.055 ⇒ approximated to 2 significant figures

∴ 0.05 ⇒ approximated to 1 significant figures

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The width of the rectangle is 2.1 cm

∵ The length of the rectangle is 5.6 cm

- Area of the rectangle = length × width

∴ Area of the rectangle = 2.1 × 5.6 = 11.76 cm²

- Approximate it to two significant figures

∴ Area of the rectangle = 12 ⇒ to the nearest 2 significant figures

* The area of the rectangle is 12 cm² ⇒ in 2 significant figures
