Answer:

D. 30.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A, B, C, D, and E are collinear,

AE = 38,

BD = 15, since segment BC = CD = DE, therefore

BD = ⅔ of BE

15 = ⅔*BE (substitution)

Solve for BE

Multiply each side by 3

15*3 = ⅔*BE*3

45 = 2*BE

Divide both sides by 2

45/2 = BE

22.5 = BE

BE = 22.5

Find AB:

AB + BE = AE (segment addition postulate)

AB + 22.5 = 38 (Substitution)

AB = 38 - 22.5 (Subtracting 22.5 from each side)

AB = 15.5

Find length of segment AD:

AB + BD = AD (segment addition postulate)

15.5 + 15 = AD (Substitution)

30.5 = AD

AD = 30.5

The Murphy family bought two rectangular dog beds for their pets fluffys bed was 3 feet by 1 9/12 Pete's bed was 4 feet by 2 4/1

Answer:

4 1/12 sq. ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the amount of area that Pete’s bed have more than Fluffy’s bed, we simply calculate the area of both beds then subtract the smaller from the larger.

The area of Fluff’s bed would be 3 * 21/12 = 63/12 Sq ft

The area of Pete’s bed would be 4 * 28/12 = 112/12 sq ft

The difference in area is thus: 112/12 - 63/12 = 49/12 = 4 1/12 sq. ft

A perfect square trinomial can be represented by a square model with equivalent length and width. Which polynomial can be repres

Nastasia [14]

A perfect square trinomial is represented by the equation $x^2-6x+9$ and this can be determined by using the factorization method.

Given :

A perfect square trinomial can be represented by a square model with equivalent length and width.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the polynomial that can be represented by a perfect square model:

Step 1 - First, check option a) $x^2-6x+9$ is a perfect square or not.

Step 2 - Try to factorize the above equation.

$x^2-6x+9 = x^2-3x-3x+9$

$x^2-6x+9 = x(x-3)-3(x-3)$

$x^2-6x+9 = (x-3)^2$

Step 3 - The equation in option a) represents the perfect square trinomial.

From, the above steps, it can be concluded that the correct option is a).
