Answer:  The length of segment AB is 4.5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:  As shown in the attached figure, D is the mid-point of AC and C is the mid-point of DB. Also, AC = 3 cm.

We are to find the length of AB.

Since D is the mid-point of AC, so we have

AD : DC = 1 : 1,

and C is the mid-point of DB, so

DC : CB = 1 : 1.

Therefore, we can write

AD : DC : CB = 1 : 1 : 1.

From here, it implies that

AC:CB=2:1\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{AC}{CB}=\dfrac{2}{1}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{CB}=2\\\\\\\Rightarrow CB=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow CB=1.5.

Thus,

AB=AC+CB=3+1.5=4.5.

Hence, the length of segment AB is 4.5 cm.

The only way I can envision this is put all 4 points on 1 line segment. They go in the order of ADCB. I can only draw it this one way.

Given
D is the midpoint of AC
C is the midpoint of DB
AC = 3 cm

Argument
AC = 3 cm           Given
AD = DC                       D is the midpoint of AC
AD = 3/2                       Definition of a midpoint.
DC = 3/2                       Definition of a midpoint

DC = 3/2                       Last statement
DC + CB = 1.5 + 1.5.   C is the midpoint of BD
DB = 3                          Consolidation of equals
AD + DB = AB               
1.5 + 3 = 4.5                 Substitution.

Tom [10]

Given

mean of 406 grams and a standard deviation of 27 grams.

Find

The heaviest 14% of fruits weigh more than how many grams?

Explanation

given

mean = 406 gms

standard deviation = 27 gms

using standard normal table ,

\begin{gathered} P(Z>z)=14\% \\ 1-P(Zso , [tex]\begin{gathered} x=z\times\sigma+\mu \\ x=1.08\times27+406 \\ x=435.16 \end{gathered}

Final Answer

Therefore , The heaviest 14% of fruits weigh more than 435.16 gms

Josh is hiking Glacier National Park. He has now hiked a total of 17 \text{ km}17 km17, start text, space, k, m, end text and is
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The equation to determine the total length in kilometers is  \frac{h}{2} =(17+2)

The total length in kilometers of Josh’s hike is  38 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let the total length in kilometers of Josh’s hike be h.

Now Given that He has now hiked a total of 17 km and is 2 km short of being 1/2 of the way done with his hike.

It means that to reach half of the length of total length Josh needs 2 more km to add in his hiking which is done which is of 17 km.

Framing the above sentence in equation form we get;

\frac{h}{2}=(17+2)

Hence, The equation to determine the total length in kilometers is  \frac{h}{2} =(17+2)

Now Solving the above equation we get;

First we will multiply 2 on both side using Multiplication property we get;

2\times \frac{h}{2}= 2\times(17+2)\\\\h =2\times 19 =38 \ km

Hence,  The total length in kilometers of Josh’s hike is  38 km.
