Answer:
A. x = 5 (Equation below)
B. AC = 9 | BD = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A. Since we know the diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent, we know that the two bottom parts of the diagonal BD (2x - 8 and x - 4) are congruent to the diagonal AC (x + 2) . This means you can just equal them together and get the value of x:
2x - 8 + x - 4 = x + 2
3x - 12 = x + 2
3x = x + 14
2x = 14
x = 7
B. Just plug in 5 for x:
AC = x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
BD = 2x - 8 + x -4 = 3x - 12 = 21 - 12 = 9
Answer: Infinite solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Home runs = X
Triples would be X-3 ( 3 less triples than home runs)
Doubles would be 3x ( 3 times as many doubles as home runs)
Singles would be 45(x-3) ( 45 times as many singles as triples)
Simplify the equation for singles to be 45x-153
Now you have X + x-3 + 3x + 4x-135 = 262
Simplify:
50x - 138 = 262
Add 138 to both sides:
50x = 400
Divide both sides by 50:
x = 400/50
x = 8
Home runs = x = 8
Triples = x-3 = 8-3 = 5
Doubles = 3x = 3(8) = 24
Singles = 45(x-3) = 45(8-3) = 45(5) = 225
Answer:
D. The intersection of the angle bisectors.
Step-by-step explanation:
The incenter is equidistant from each of the sides of the triangle. An angle bisector is the set of points equidistant from the sides, so the incenter is the place where the angle bisectors meet.
Answer:
The ships are 66 meters apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
For the sake of convenience, let us label ships A and B
As shown in the figure, the distances to the ships from right triangles.
The distance to the ship A is 
and it is given by
And the distance to the ship B is 
and is given by
Therefore, the distance 
between the ships A and B is
In other words, the ships are 66 meters apart.
