Answer:

r = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

If M is the midpoint of DE, that would mean that the distance from M to D and M to E would be the same.

This creates the equation 1-8r=13-5r.

Now it's just simple algebra.

You add 8r to both sides, creating 1=13+3r. Then, you subtract 13 from both sides, getting 3r=-12. Dividing both sides by 3 and solving for r, you get r=-4.

Checking our answer, you see that 1-8(-4)=1-(-32)=1+32=33, and 13-5(-4)=13-(-20)=13+20=33.

Which statements about finding the area of the equilateral triangle are true? Check all that apply.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The correct options are 1, 2 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is an equilateral triangle. All the sides of an equilateral triangle are same. All interior angles are equal with measure 60 degree.

The distance from the center of an equilateral triangle to the midpoint of a side is known as apothem. In the given figure letter a represents the apothem.

Point D is the midpoint of BC,

$b=\frac{BC}{2}=\frac{8.7}{2}=4.35$

Use Pythagorean theorem in triangle COD. So, option 1 is correct.

$OC^2=OD^2+DC^2$

$5^2=a^2+(4.35)^2$

$25=a^2+18.9225$

$a=\pm 2.46526$

$a\approx\pm 2.5$

The distance can not be negative, so the length of the apothem is approximately 2.5 cm. Option 4 is correct.

The line OC bisects the angle C.

$tan(30^{\circ})=\frac{a}{b}$

$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}=\frac{a}{4.35}$

$a\approx\pm 2.5$

Therefore option 2 is correct.

The perimeter of an equality triangle is

$P=3a=3(8.7)=26.1$

Option 3 is incorrect.

$A=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(8.7)^2=32.77$

Option 5 is incorrect.

Therefore options 1, 2 and 4 are correct.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

46.56 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

4.3 pounds

2 pounds

3.8 pounds, and

5.9 pounds

Let us find the total weight of all the items

=4.3+2+3.8+5.9

=16 pounds

We are told that he is charged $2.91 per pound for shipping

Hence the cost of shipping 16 pounds is

=2.91*16

=46.56 pounds
