Answer:

DC = 4

CM = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The centroid is located at the intersection point of all three medians of a triangle. The centroid is divides the median into a ratio of 2 to 1. The 1 is located closest to the intersection point of the median and the side opposite the vertex which is the starting point of the median.  

In this particular triangle  CM<DC

Givens

DC + CM = 6

CM <DC                  Labeled.

<em><u>Set up Proportion</u></em>

1:3 :: MC : (DC + CM)

1:3 :: MC : 6            

1/3 = MC/6              Cross Multiply

3*MC = 6                 Divide by 3

MC = 6/3                 Divide

Answer

MC = 2

DC = 6 -2 = 4

Simplify this expression: 16+28/2-6/10-4x2
olga2289 [7]

Simplify 28/2 to 14

16 + 14 - 6/10 - 4x^2

Simplify 6/10 to 3/5

16 + 14 - 3/5 - 4x^2

Collect like terms

-4x^2 + (16 + 14 - 3/5)

Simplify

Could somebody answer this
solmaris [256]
The gradient for a parallel line is the same.
perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.
so all you have to do is re arrange it so y=Mx+b so the check out the gradients to what I listed above... remember y shouldn't have any number on it.

Solve and check the inequality<br> |8m+4|&lt;12
alexgriva [62]
This is the concept of algebra, to solve the inequality we proceed as follows;
|8m+4|<12
given that the absolute value is represented by positive and negative values, we shall have:
-(8m+4)<12
-8m-4<12
-8m<12+4
-8m<16
thus;
m>16/(-8)
m>-2

also:
8m+4<12
8m<12-4
8m<8
m<8/8
m<1
hence the answer is -2<m<1
