<u>Given</u>:

Given that ABCD is a rectangle.

The diagonals of the rectangle are AC and DB.

The length of AE is (6x -55)

The length of EC is (3x - 16)

We need to determine the length of the diagonal DB.

<u>Value of x:</u>

The value of x can be determined by equating AE and EC

Thus, we have;

AE=EC

Substituting the values, we get;

6x-55=3x-16

3x-55=-16

       3x=39

         x=13

Thus, the value of x is 13.

<u>Length of AC:</u>

Length of AE = 6(13)-55=78-55=23

Length of EC = 3(13)-16=39-16=23

Thus, the length of AC can be determined by adding the lengths of AE and EC.

Thus, we have;

AC=AE+EC

AC=23+23

AC=46

Thus, the length of AC is 46.

<u>Length of DB:</u>

Since, the diagonals AC and DB are perpendicular to each other, then their lengths are congruent.

Hence, we have;

AC=DB

 46=DB

Thus, the length of DB is 46.

The library is located 1.8 miles west of Callie’s house. The grocery store is located 2.4 miles south of the library. What is th
Verizon [17]

____________________________________________________

Answer:

Your answer would be 3 miles.

____________________________________________________

Explanation and work:

To find the answer for this question, we would use the numbers we know that was provided in the question and use it to get us the answer.

The equation we would use in this type of question is the Pythagorean Theorem.

Pythagorean Theorem:

a² + b² = c²

When you draw out the different locations, it would end up looking like a triangle since you trying to find the diagonal line from the grocery store to the house. In the triangle, it would be the hypotenuse. I will put a picture below.

Lets start solving:

1.8 would be plugged into "a"

2.4 will be plugged into "b"

(1.8)² + (2.4)² = c²

 ↓          ↓        ↓

3.24  + 5.76 =  c²

          ↓

          9  = c²

              ↓

      √9 = √c²

             ↓

         3  = c

3 miles would be your FINAL answer.

Is the relation shown in the arrow diagram a function?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Yes. Every unique input has a unique output.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since every input has a different output, therefore it's a function. It's not a function when the input have more than 1 output. When graphing, make sure you take the vertical line test to see whether or not the graph is a function.
