Answer:
(b) x = 7, AB = 9, AC = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
ΔAEB ~ ΔCDB so corresponding sides are proportional.
AB/CB = AE/CD
(x+2)/(x -4) = 12/4
x +2 = 3(x -4) . . . . . . multiply by x-4
x +2 = 3x -12 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
14 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . add 12-x
7 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
AB = x +2 = 7 +2 = 9
BC = x -4 = 7 -4 = 3
AC = AB +BC = 9 +3 = 12
__
In summary, ...
x = 7, AB = 9, AC = 12 . . . . . matches the 2nd choice
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Please note the other choices make no sense.
(a) AB = x +2 = -5 +2 = -3 ≠ -9
(c) AC = 2x-2 = 2(7) -2 = 12 ≠ 9
(d) segment lengths are never negative in a geometrical figure
I believe A, C, D, E, and G. I don't know if I am right, I am just making an educated guess. Please tell me if I am right!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Your answer would be B., because you would multiply
2.14 x 22.4 =
47.939
then you will subtract that by 42.9
47.939 - 42.9 =
5.026
<span>It is important to keep the same tense in your business writing, because otherwise your readers may misinterpret what you are trying to convey. Not having a uniform form of tense would make the writing confusing for the reader. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.</span>
