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

A coat cost $ 131.61 with 9.5% sales tax
marysya [2.9K]

Calculating Total Cost. Multiply the cost of an item or service by the sales tax in order to find out the total cost. The equation looks like this: Item or service cost x sales tax (in decimal form) = total sales tax. Add the total sales tax to the Item or service cost to get your total cost. Multiply retail price by tax rate

Let's say you're buying a $100 item with a sales tax of 5%. Your math would be simply: [cost of the item] x [percentage as a decimal] = [sales tax]. That's $100 x .

I would really appreciate it if you could help me please
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Yes, triangle GYK is similar to triangle BAK.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of each triangle are proportional to each other.

Take the longest side of each triangle. You are comparing line AK with line KY.

The proportion is 15/25.

Now, take the shortest side of each triangle. You are comparing line KB with GK.

The proportion is 6/10.

To determine if the triangles are proportional, we can see if the two proportions are equal to each other:

15/20=6/10

3/5=6/10

Correct! 3/5 equals to 6/10. Therefore, the two triangles are similar because their sides are proportional.

Hope this helps :)
