The length of AD is 32 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

An architect is sketching a blueprint of a patio for a new fence

  • On the blueprint, C is the midpoint of segment AD
  • Point B is the midpoint of segment AC
  • BC = 8 feet

We need to find the length of AD

A mid-point divides a line segments into two equal parts in length

∵ C is the mid-point of AD

- The mid-point C divides the line segments AD into two equal parts

∴ AC = CD

∵ B is the mid point of AC

∴ AB = BC

∵ BC = 8 feet

∴ AB = 8 feet

- AC contains AB and BC

∵ AC = AB + BC

∴ AC = 8 + 8 = 16

∵ AC = CD

∵ AC = 16

∴ CD = 16

- AD contains AC and CD

∵ AD = AC + CD

∴ AD = 16 + 16 = 32

The length of AD is 32 feet

Tanzania [10]
You can write three equations in the numbers of nickels (n), dime (d), and quarters (q).
  n + d + q = 23 . . . . . . . there are 23 coins total
  0n +d -q = 2 . . . . . . . . .there are 2 more dimes than quarters
  5n +10d +25q = 250 . .the total value is $2.50

The collection includes 11 nickels, 7 dimes, and 5 quarters.

_____
I used the matrix function of my calculator to solve these equations. You can find q by subtracting from the last equation five times the sum of the first two equations.
  (5n +10d +25q) -5((n +d +q) +(d -q)) = (250) -5(23 +2)
  25q = 125 . . . . . . . simplify
  q = 5
From the second equation,
  d = q +2 = 7
And from the first,
  n = 23 -5 -7 = 11

Thepotemich [5.8K]
Simple, since your equation is y=35x+45, it's quite simple to see what is the y-intercept.
It's written in y=mx+b form, the b being the y-intercept.

Thus, your y-intercept, is 45.
