Answer:

The answer to your question is: AC = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Segment AC with midpoint = B

AC = 5x - 9

AB = 2x

AC = ?

Process

           total length = AC  but B is the midpoint so AB + AB = CA

                                                                                  2AB = CA

                Substitution        2(2x) = 5x - 9

                                             4x = 5x - 9

Solve for x                           4x - 5x = -9

                                             -1x = -9

                                              x = -9/-1

                                             x = 9

Finally,            AC = 5x - 9

                             = 5(9) - 9

                             = 45 - 9

                             = 36

Find the coordinates for the midpoint of the segment with endpoints given 12,4 and -8,8
borishaifa [10]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The coordinates of the midpoint are:

x-coordinate=2\\y-coordinate=6

<h2>Why?</h2>

We can find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints using the following formula.

The midpoint of a segment is given by:

MidPoint=(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})

We are given the points:

(12,4)\\

and

(-8,8)\\

Where,

x_{1}=12\\y_{1}=4\\x_{2}=-8\\y_{2}=8

So, calculating the midpoint, we have:

MidPoint=(\frac{12+(-8)}{2},\frac{4+8}{2})

MidPoint=(\frac{4}{2},\frac{12}{2})

MidPoint=(2,6)

Hence, we have that the coordinates of the midpoint are:

x-coordinate=2\\y-coordinate=6

Have a nice day!

Answer: AC = 7√3

tan 30° = \frac{BC}{AC}

=> \frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }\\\\\=> AC=BC\sqrt{3} =7\sqrt{3}

The amount of pounds of vegetable needed in fractions to make the stew exactly 10 pounds is 3 3  / 8 pounds

<h3>How to solve fractions?</h3>

The amount of pounds of vegetable needed to make the stew exactly 10 pounds can be calculated as follows:

potatoes weight = 2 7 / 8 pounds = 23 / 8 pounds

green beans weight = 1 1 / 4 = 5 / 4 pounds

pepper weight = 2 1 / 2 = 5 / 2 pounds

Therefore,

weight needed = 10 - 23 / 8 - 5 / 4 - 5 / 2

weight needed = 80 - 23 - 10 - 20 / 8

weight needed = 80 - 53 / 8

weight needed = 27 / 8

weight needed in fractions to make the stew exactly 10 pounds = 3 3  / 8 pounds
