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.

You are selling flowers for a fundraiser . You pay $ 1.50 for each flower plus a flot rate delivery fee of $ 15 . You are sellin
Feliz [49]

Answer:

15÷1 .50=10

Because you are already paying a flat rate of $15. You make 1.50 off of each flower. So you have to sell over 10 flowers to make a profit.

10 POINTS!! PLEASE HELP ASAP!!
Ber [7]

If the polygons are similar, then we can set up a similarity ratio using sides AB and EF and any other 2 sides where both side lengths are given. That appears to be true for sides BC and FG. Our similarity ratio would be this then, going from the bigger polygon stuff on top and the smaller polygon stuff on bottom:

\frac{8}{6}=\frac{6}{y}.

If we cross multiply we have 8y = 36 and divide both sides by 8 to get that y = 4.5. There you go!

14x - 10 = 3(4 + x)<br> Solving equations
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

x =2

Step-by-step explanation:

14x - 10 = 3(4 + x)

Distribute

14x -10 = 12 +3x

Subtract 3x from each side

14x -10 -3x = 12+3x-3x

11x -10 = 12

Add 10 to each side

11x -10+10 = 12+10

11x = 22

Divide each side by 11

11x/11 =22/11

x =2

Solve for all radian solutions and x if 0 sin x +2sin x cos x=0
Bogdan [553]
<span>the answer is 
sin x +2sin x cos x=0
</span>sin x(1 +2 cos x) =0, so sin x =0 or (1 +2 cos x)=0, implies <span>cos x =-1/2</span><span>
the solutions are x= arc sin 0 = 2Pi +2kpi     or       x=arccos (-1/2)=2Pi/3 +2kpi</span>
