Answer:

4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint segment has length ...

... L = AB/2 + BC + CD/2 = 16 cm

The entire segment has length ...

... AD = AB + BC + CD = 28 cm

If we subtract AD from 2L, we have ...

... 2L - AD - 2L = 2(AB/2 +BC + CD/2) - (AB +BC +CD) = 2(16 cm) -28 cm = 4 cm

... AB +2BC + CD -AB -BC -CD = 4 cm . . . . remove parentheses

... BC = 4 cm . . . . simplify

decide whether enough information is given to prove that the triangle is congruent using the SAS congruence theorem. if so, writ
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

ΔCAD and ΔCBD

∠A ≅∠B (Angle)

AD ≅BD (Side)

From the graph we see that

CD≅CD (Side)

because of reflexive propriety ( a line segment is congruent with itself)

If you put in order those congruencies we have SSA witch does NOT prove congruence.

we not use SAS because the angle between the sides is not congruent

james attached a diagonal brace across a rectangular frame that measures 6ft by 8ft what is the length of the diagonal brace
Bogdan [553]
To solve this you would use the pythagorean theorem since the brace is making the frame look like two right triangles. The theorem states that for a triangle with a right angle, A^2+B^2=C^2. A and B are the sides of the frame and C is the brace which is like the hypotenuse of the triangle. It doesn't matter which side is A or B so you can put 6 or 8 in place of either in the equation. 6^2+8^2=C^2. If you simplify this it equals 36+64=C^2, which then simplifies to 100=C^2. Then you take the square root of both sides (what number multiplied by itself = the number you are trying to get, in this case, 100). So then you get C=10 because 10x10=100. So the length of the diagonal brace is 10ft.
