Coordinates of the midpoint of AC:
M ( (-6-2) / 2) , ( 7-9 ) /2 ) = ( -4, -1 )
d ( BM ) = √ ( 4 + 4 )² + ( -1+ 1 )²
d ( BM ) =   √  8 ²  =√ 64 = 8
The length of the median from angle B is 8.

Answer:  The length of the median from angle B is 8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  As shown in the attached figure, A(-6, 7), B(4, -1) and C(-2, -9) are the vertices of ΔABC.

We are to find the length of the median BD from angle B to side AC.

Since BD is the median on side AC. So, D will be the mid-point of side AC.

Therefore, the co-ordinates of the point 'D' are

\left(\dfrac{-6+(-2)}{2},\dfrac{7+(-9)}{2}\right)=\left(\dfrac{-8}{2},\dfrac{-2}{2}\right)=(-4,-1).

Now, the length of median BD is equal to the distance between the vertex 'B' and the point 'D'.

Therefore, the length of median BD calculated using distance formula is

BD=\sqrt{(-4-4)^2+(-1+1)^2}\\\\\Rightarrow BD=\sqrt{64+0}\\\\\Rightarrow BD=\sqrt{64}\\\\\Rightarrow BD=8.

Thus, the length of the median from angle B is 8 units.

Michael is 4 years younger than twice his cousin, Damien’s age. The sum of their ages is 46. How old is Damien?
Verizon [17]
Let x = The age of Michael
Let 2x-3 = The age of Michaels cousin
X+2x-3=46
x=16+1/3
X = 49 years

I think that’s the answer I’m not 100% sure though

The value of x is? What is the value of x in this problem?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

x=96°

Step-by-step explanation:

For the upper left angle, we know that they are supplementary, so we can find the first angle of the triangle by

180-130=50

For the bottom right angle, we know that they are supplementary, so we can find that angle by

180-134=46

As a triangle has 180 degrees, we can subtract the values of the other two angles to find the final upper right angle.

180-50-46=84

Lastly, The upper right angle and x are supplementary so we can find x by subtracting the angle from 180

180-84=x\\x=96
