Answer:
D: 2/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Usually when we talk about a point partitioning a segment, we are interested in the ratio of the first segment to the second:
BC : CD = 2 : 2 = 1 : 1
Since this is not an answer choice, we need to "reverse engineer" the answer list to see if we can find an answer that corresponds to a reasonable interpretation of the question.
__
None of the segments is 3 units long, so neither of answer choices A or B makes any sense.
While segment BD is 4 units long, there is no segment that is 1 unit long, so answer choice C makes no sense, either.
There are segments that are 2 units long and a segment that is 4 units long, so if we interpret the question to be "what is the ratio of BC to BD?" then answer choice D is appropriate.
Answer:
13,600 
Step-by-step explanation:
(h = 7, l = 6, w = 2) 10
70, 60, 20
2(h × w) + 2(h × l) + 2(w × l)
= 2(70 × 20) + 2(70 × 60) + 2(20 × 60)
= 2(1400) + 2(4200) + 2(1200)
= 2800 + 8400 + 2400
= 13,600
Answer:
(x - 5)(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve x² - 2x = 15, we need to get all the terms on one side so we can solve the quadratic equation using factoring. to do this, we subtract 15 from both sides
x² - 2x = 15
- 15 -15
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
now we can factor. we need 2 numbers that when multiplied together give us -15, and when those 2 numbers are added together we get -2
because we have a -15, we can assume that one number must be negative and the other positive, as a negative times a postive is a negative.
we can use 3 and -5 as factors and test it out. we put x in front because we have an x²
(x - 5)(x + 3) < we can FOIL to check to see if this is correct. its not mandatory to check but when you arent sure of the answer you can FOIL it out
FOIL stands for: First, Outside, Inside, and Last terms
F: (x - 5)(x + 3) = x²
O: (x - 5)(x + 3) = -3x
I: (x - 5)(x + 3) = 5x
L: (x - 5)(x + 3) = -15
x² + 3x - 5x - 15 < subtract 3x from 5x
x² - 2x - 15
this checks out, so our answer is (x - 5)(x + 3)
