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

They will be forming a right triangle. 

long leg is the height of Lyra. 22 meters high from the entrance.
short leg is the distance of Donna. 50 meters from the entrance.
We need to solve for the hypotenuse or the range of communication.

a² + b² = c²
22² + 50² = c²
484 + 2500 = c²
2,984 = c²
√2,984 = √c²
54.63 = c

The range of communication for the two radios is 55 meters.

We have that

Her house is -----------------------24 feet tall

Her model is----------------------- 8 inches tall

The inch is a unit of length used primarily in the imperial and U.S. customary measurement systems, representing 1/12 of a foot

 in =ft * 12.000

24 feet=12*24=288 inches

Her house is -----------------------288 inches tall

Her model is----------------------- 8 inches tall

 

288/8=36 scale of reduction

Her brother is 5 feet tall

4.07, 4.070, 4.70, 4.0700 what value is not equivalent.
larisa [96]
4.70, all the others can be simplified to 4.07 by taking away the zeroes after the 7 because they are not significant, The one before the 7 stays because it is significant as it is holding the tenths place value.

2 1/2+x=5 1/3 PLEASE HELP
erastova [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/2 + x = 5 1/3                Change the mixed numbers to improper fractions

5/2 + x = 16/3                   The lowest common multiple is 6. Multiply by 6

5*3 + 6x = 16*2

15 + 6x = 32                      Subtract 15 from both sides.

6x = 32 - 15

6x = 17                              Divide by 6

6x/6 = 17/6

x = 2 5/6

Check

5/2 + 17/6 = 16/3

15/6 + 17/6 = 32/6

32/6 = 32/6                    The question checks.
