Answer:
False
Step-by-step:
The hypotenuse of the triangle is the side opposite to the right angle. The legs are the other two sides of the triangle. Since AC is on the opposite side of the right angle, it is the hypotenuse and therefore not a leg. Hope this helps!
We have the rational expression

; to simplify it, we are going to try to find a common factor in the numerator, and, if we are luckily, that common factor will get rid of the denominator

.
Notice that in the denominator all the numbers are divisible by two, so 2 is part of our common factor; also, all the terms have the variable

, and the least exponent of that variable is 1, so

will be the other part of our common factor. Lets put the two parts of our common factor together to get

.
Now that we have our common factor, we can rewrite our numerator as follows:

We are luckily, we have

in both numerator and denominator, so we can cancel those out:


We can conclude that the simplified version of our rational function is

Answer:
14 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector divides the sides proportionally.
BD/BA = CD/CA
(x+4)/8 = (2x+1)/12
3(x +4) = 2(2x +1) . . . . . multiply by 24 (the least common denominator)
3x +12 = 4x +2 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property
12 = x +2 . . . . . . . subtract 3x
10 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract 2
Then the length of BD is ...
BD = x +4
BD = 10 +4 . . . . substitute the value of x
BD = 14
