Answer: (x - 3)² = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + ____ = 12 + ____

↓ ↑ ↑

$\frac{-6}{2} = (-3)^{2}$

x² - 6x + 9 = 12 + 9

(x - 3)² = 21

Answer: (x - 6)² = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 24x = -20

÷2 ÷2 ÷2

x² - 12x = -10

x² - 12x + ____ = -10 + ____

↓ ↑ ↑

$\frac{-12}{2} = (-6)^{2}$

x² - 12x + 36 = -10 + 36

(x - 6)² = 26

Let ABC be an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and ∠BAC=30°. Side AB and the median AD contain points Q and P respectively (point

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

15°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since P is on the median of ΔABC, it is equidistant from points B and C as well as from C and Q. Thus, points B, C, and Q all lie on a circle centered at P. (See the attached diagram.)

The base angles (B and C) of triangle ABC are (180° -30°)/2 = 75°. This means arc QC of the circle centered at P has measure 150°. The diameter of circle P that includes point Q is defined to intersect circle P at R.

Central angle RPC is the difference between arcs QR and QC, so is 180° -150° = 30°. Inscribed angle RQC has half that measure, so is 15°. Angle PQC has the same measure as angle RQC, so is 15°.

Angle PQC is 15°.

Which number sentence is true?

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Because A is incorrect because the -8.9 is in absolute value which mean it will be an 8.9 which is greater than 5.6

C is Incorrect because - 5.6 is not greater than the absolute value of -8.9 which is 8.9, as you can see is greater than -5.6

D is incorrect because the absolute value of 5.6 is still 5.6 and the absolute value of - 8.9 is 8.9 which is greater that 5.6

<h2>B is correct because the absolute value of -5.6 is 5.6 which makes it less than the absolute value of -8.9 because the absolute value is 8.9 which is greater than 5.6 .</h2>
