<span>A midpoint divides a line or a segment into two equal parts. If D is the midpoint of the segment AC and C is the midpoint of segment DB, what is the length of the segment AB, if AC = 3 cm.</span>
If D is the midpoint of AC, then AD=DC
If C is the midpoint of DB, then DC=CB
If AC=3cm. then then DC-3/2=1.5
If DC=1.5 then CB is 1.5 also
AB=AC+CB
AB=3+1.5
AB=4.5
Answer:
x = 38, y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since AB = BC then the triangle is isosceles and the base angles are congruent, that is
∠ DAB = ∠ DCB = 52°
Subtract the sum of the base angle from 180° for ∠ ABC
∠ ABC = 180° - (52 + 52)° = 180° - 104° = 76°
Note that ∠ ABD = ∠ CBD, thus
x = 76 ÷ 2 = 38
BD bisects the side AC, thus DC = AD = 4
Thus y = 4
The weight of the candles is 3/5 greater than of the watermelon, or 60\%, or 0.6.
