Answer:

<h2>AC = 36.01</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ΔABC and ΔADB, since both triangles are right angled triangles then the following are true.

From ΔADB, AB² = AD²+BD²

Given AB = 24 and AD = 16

BD² = AB² - AD²

BD² = 24²-16²

BD² = 576-256

BD² = 320

BD = \sqrt{320}

BD = 17.9

from ΔABC, AC² = AB²+BC²

SInce AC = AD+DC and BC² = BD² + DC² (from ΔBDC )we will have;

(AD+DC)² = AB²+ (BD² + DC²)

Given AD = 16, AB = 24 and BD = 17.9, on substituting

(16+DC)² = 24²+17.9²+ DC²

256+32DC+DC² =  24²+17.9²+ DC²

256+32DC = 24²+17.9²

32DC = 24²+17.9² - 256

32DC = 640.41

DC = \frac{640.41}{32}

DC = 20.01

Remember that AC = AD+DC

AC = 16+20.01

AC = 36.01

Plz help me with my geometry asap 50 pts and brainliest NO SCAMMING OR I WILL REPORT
bearhunter [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You already got the first step, where D is the midpoint of AC and AB is congruent to BC, since it's given.

2. AD will be congruent to DC, via the definition of a midpoint (a midpoint is the middle point of a line segment, and it splits the segment into two congruent parts)

3. BD is equal to BD, via reflexive property. ( It's a shared side between the two triangles)

4. that means that ΔADB ≅ΔCDB via SSS rule.

5. ∠ABD ≅∠CDB by CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent)

Hope this helps! :)

Simplify by using order of operations: 4 + (9∙2) ÷ (4 - 1) - 4
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Use <u>PEMDAS</u>

P = parenthesis

E = Exponents

M = Multiplication*

D = Division*

A = Addition**

S = Subtraction**

*either can come first, it just depends which comes first in the equation.

**either can come first, it just depends which comes first in the equation.

<em>Step 1 : Write equation</em>   4( 9 × 2 ) ÷ ( 4 -1 ) - 4

<em>Step 2: Solve in parenthesis   </em>4(18) ÷ (3) - 4

<em>Step 3: Solve multiplication   </em> 72 ÷ 3 - 4

<em>Step 4: Solve division               </em>24 - 4

<em>Step 5 : Solve subtraction</em>         20

what is the equation of a line that passes through the point (6,1) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=2x-6?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

y = -(1/2)x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the standard form on an equation:  y = mx + b

A line that is perpendicular has a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the other line.  We also have a point (x, y) that is on the line, so our equation begins as..

1 = -(1/2)(6) + b           We must solve for b (  -1/2 is the opposite reciprocal of 2)

1 = -3 + b

4 = b  

so our equation is

y = -(1/2)x + 4
