I’m confused on this one
1 answer:
The answer is 13.
Because this is a kite, the diagonals intersect perpendicularly or with a 90° angle.
In the triangle DIC, which is a right triangle, the legs are 5 and 12. To find the hypotenuse, we use Pythogarean theorem:
Plug in the givens:
Take the squares:
Take the square root of both sides:
We find the line segment DC. In the question it says "BD = DC". So BD is equal to 13.

32. (a) For an even function, f(x) = f(-x). Given f(5) = 3, we know f(-5) = 3.
Therefore (-5, 3) is also on the graph.
For an odd function, f(-x) = -f(x). Given f(5) = 3, we know f(-5) = -3.
Therefore (-5, -3) is also on the graph.
33. f(-x) = -f(x). The function is odd.
34. f(-x) = x/(x-1) ≠ -f(x) ≠ f(x). The function is neither even nor odd.
35. f(-x) = f(x). The function is even.
Therefore (-5, 3) is also on the graph.
