Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The midsegment is one half the length of the third side of the triangle, that is

6x + 3 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (3x + 87)

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

12x + 6 = 3x + 87 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

9x + 6 = 87 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

9x = 81 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 9

Thus

midsegment = 6x + 3 = 6(9) + 3 = 54 + 3 = 57

Is 5/6 closer to 1, 1/2, or 2 and why?

1 because 5/6 is almost a whole. It can't be 1/2 because it would have been 3/6. And it's not 2 because it should have been an improper faction

Jason had to replace the floor of a triangular portion of his dining room. The portion had a height that was twice as high as th

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the the area of a triangle can be represented as $\frac{bh}{2}$ .

Since the height is twice the base, we can substitute the value $2b$ in as $h$ in the expression, making it $\frac{b\cdot2b}{2}$ . If the area is 16, we can make the equation

$\frac{b\cdot2b}{2} = 16$

Now to solve for b.

$\frac{2b^2}{2} = 16\\\frac{2b^2}{2}\cdot2 = 16\cdot2\\\\2b^2 = 32\\\\2b^2\div2 = 32\div2\\\\b^2 = 16\\\\b=4$

Hope this helped!

Gwar [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between 2 points

$= \sqrt{(x1 - x2)^{2} + (y1 - y2)^{2} }$

☆ (x₁, y₁) is the first coordinate while (x₂, y₂) I'd the second coordinate.

Length of RS

$= \sqrt{ {[ - 1 -( - 4)] }^{2} + (9 - 1)^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{( - 1 + 4)^{2} + 8^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {3}^{2} + 64 } \\ = \sqrt{73} \\ = 8.54 \: (3 \: s.f.)$
