Answer:

BC = 16 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since DE is the midsegment of the triangle, based on the midsegment theorem, thus:

DE = ½(BC)

DE = 8 units

Plug in the value

8 = ½(BC)

Multiply both sides by 2

2*8 = BC

BC = 16 units

Find the missing length
jasenka [17]

Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation:

For this you will have to use pythagoras’ theorem.

The formula for the shorter side of this triangle is u²=c²-b² (or in this case u²=17²-8²).

17²=289

8²=64

The formula becomes u²=289-64 or u²=225

Then to find u on its own you have to square root 225.

The square root of 225 is 15.

Three angles of an irregular octagon are 100 degrees, 120 degrees, and 140 degrees. The remaining angles are congruent. Find the
STatiana [176]

Answer:

144°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

sum = 180° × (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

Here n = 8 ( octagon ), hence

sum = 180° × 6 = 1080°

let the measure of 1 congruent angle be x

Then sum the 8 angles and equate to 1080

100 + 120 + 140 + 5x = 1080

360 + 5x = 1080 ( subtract 360 from both sides )

5x = 720 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 144

Thus each of the 5 congruent angles is 144°
