Use the segment addition postulate to write three equations using the diagram below

Mathematics
1 answer:
creativ13 [48]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

PQ + QR = PR => equation 1

RS + ST = RT => equation 2

PR + RT = PT => equation 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Points P, Q, R, S, and T are collinear therefore, the following equations can be written based on the segment addition postulate:

PQ + QR = PR => equation 1

RS + ST = RT => equation 2

PR + RT = PT => equation 3

More equations can actually be written from the diagram given using the segment addition postulate. Such as:

PQ + QR + RS + ST = PT

If x/y + y/x = -1 , find the value of x^3 - y^3
marin [14]

Answer:

  0

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying the first equation by xy, we have ...

  x^2 +y^2 = -xy

Factoring the expression of interest, we have ...

  x^3 -y^3 = (x -y)(x^2 +xy +y^2)

Substituting for xy using the first expression we found, this is ...

  x^3 -y^3 = (x -y)(x^2 -(x^2 +y^2) +y^2) = (x -y)(0) = 0

The value of x^3 -y^3 is 0.

What is the l and w of a rectangular field of 40 ft perimeter?
shusha [124]
The perimeter doesn't tell you the dimensions.

With a 40-ft perimeter, there an infinite number of possibilities
for the length and with.  The only thing we know for sure is that
the sum of (length + width) is 20-ft.

The field could be . . .

1'  by  40'
2'  by  20'
