If AC = x + 5 and AB = 3x - 1... what is the length of BC?

1 answer:

4 0

If B is the midpoint of AC, then |AB| = |AC|.
|AB| = 3x + 2
|BC| = 5x - 10
Therefore we have the equation:
3x + 2 = 5x - 10 |subtract 2 from both sides
3x = 5x - 12 |subtract 5x from both sides
-2x = -12 |divide both sides by (-2)
x = 6

Answer:

Radius: 8

Circumference: 50.27

πr^2 = Area of circle

201.06 = πr^2

divide by pi

201.06 / π = 63.9993857161 = 64

64 = r^2

Square root both sides to get radius.

$\sqrt{64}$ = 8

r = 8

Circumference = π x diameter

Diameter = 2 x radius

Circumference = π x 16 = 50.2654824574 = 50.27
