<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

A line is a figure formed by two opposite rays with a shared endpoint
A line segment is a portion of a line consisting of two points and all points between them.

Explanation:

Basically a line goes on forever in both directions. A ray only goes off forever in one direction. If we glue together two rays that point in complete opposite directions (eg 1 points north, the other points south) then we form a line.

A line segment is a piece of a line. It doesn't go on forever in either direction. It has 2 endpoints and has a set fixed length. If you know the coordinates of each endpoint, you can use the distance formula to find that length.

erastovalidia [21]

Answer: b=13, t=29

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting the first equation into the second,

$2b+2+b=41\\\\3b+2=41\\\\3b=39\\\\b=13\\\\\implies t=2(13)+2=29$

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if the discriminate is 0, it means that both roots are the same. Not only that, but it also means that the roots are real. I would pick D, but realize that that is the expected answer and the answer could be B, depending on how the person writing the problem thinks about it.

2 triangles are shown. The first triangle has side lengths 35, 20, and 20. The second triangle has side lengths x, 44, 44.

Ad libitum [116K]

The value of x is 77 cm which will make the triangles similar by SSS similarity theorem

Given length of the three sides of one triangle are 35 , 20 and 20

and length of the three sides of another triangle are x, 44,44

We need to find the values of x by using SSS Similarity theorem

We know that triangles are are similar by side - side - side similarity creation and hence the sides are in the same ratio

As both the triangles are isosceles triangles

Therefore ,

x/35 = 44/20=44/20 (Using ratio)

Solving the equation we get

x=44*35/20

x= 77

Hence the value of x is 77cm
