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.

shepuryov [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

3 tan 2x - 4 tan 3x = tan² 3x * tan 2x

3 (tan 2x - tan 3x) = tan 3x + tan² 3x * tan 2x

= tan 3x (1 + tan 3x * tan 2x)

3 (tan 2x - tan 3x)/(1 + tan 3x * tan 2x) = tan 3x

3 * (- tan x) = tan 3x

-3tanx = (3 tan x - tan³ x) / (1 - 3 tan² x)

3 - tan² x = - 3 + 9 tan² x

tan x = + √3 /√5 or - √3/√5

In a group of a hundred and fifty students attending a youth workshop in mombasa, 125 of them are fluent in kiswahili, 135 in en
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The probability that a student chosen at random is fluent in English or Swahili.

P(S∪E) = 1.1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):</em></u>-

Given total number of students n(T) = 150

Given 125 of them are fluent in Swahili

Let 'S' be the event of fluent in  Swahili language

n(S) = 125

The probability that the fluent in  Swahili language

P(S) = \frac{n(S)}{n(T)} = \frac{125}{150} = 0.8333

Let 'E' be the event of fluent in English language

n(E) = 135

The probability that the fluent in  English language

P(E) = \frac{n(E)}{n(T)} = \frac{135}{150} = 0.9

n(E∩S) = 95

The probability that the fluent in  English and Swahili

P(SnE) = \frac{n(SnE)}{n(T)} = \frac{95}{150} = 0.633

<u><em>Step(ii):</em></u>-

The probability that a student chosen at random is fluent in English or Swahili.

P(S∪E) = P(S) + P(E) - P(S∩E)

           = 0.833+0.9-0.633

           = 1.1

<u><em>Final answer:-</em></u>

The probability that a student chosen at random is fluent in English or Swahili.

P(S∪E) = 1.1

What is m∠G to the nearest tenth? A right angle triangle EFG. The length of EF is 28.2 and GF is 45.8. Angle GFE is given as 90
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

31.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle given us a right angled Triangle

We solve the above question using the trigonometric function of Tangent

The formula is given as:

tan θ = opp/adj

θ = m∠G = ?

Opposite = EF is 28.2

Adjacent = GF is 45.8

tan θ = 28.2/45.8

θ = arc tan (28.2/45.8)

θ = 31.621459805°

Approximately

m∠G = 31.6°
