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

What does it mean to square a number? Provide an example to support your answer.

shutvik [7]

Answer:

When squaring a number it is essentially taking a number and multiplying it by itself. For example, 5^2 is 5×5 (=25).

Given: AE = 3, CE = 5 and ED is 4 less than EB find EB. Please give a step-by-step explanation. The best answer will receive bra

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

EB = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you can use the power of a point, in the situation where two secants intersect in the interior of a circle. The formula is as follows:

CE * ED = AE * EB

(This is applied specifically to this problem)

We can substitute the values given,

5 * (x - 4) = 3 * x

simplify,

5x - 20 = 3x

and solve.

2x - 20 = 0

2x = 20

x = 10

Since the value of EB is x, EB = 10.

Solve for x, worth 10 points

Anton [14]

Answer: x=22

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the angles are corresponding angles, use x+14=5x-74. You get 36=36 meaning it is right when you substitute the value for x.

x+14=5x-74

-x on both sides

14=4x-74

+74 on both sides

88=4x

Divide both sides by 4

x=22
