Answer: 19 years to reach 98 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Its already 3 inches tall, if it grows 5 inches every year or expected to it would take : 3 + 5 = 8

8 + 5 = 13

13 + 5 = 18

18 + 5 = 23

23 + 5 = 28

28 + 5 = 33

33 + 5 = 38

38 + 5 = 43

43 + 5 = 48

48 + 5 = 53

And it goes on until 98 inches. Leaving your answer : 19 years.

Factor completely 6x - 18.<br> 6(x + 3)<br> 6(x-3)<br> 6X (-18)<br> Prime

8090 [49]

Answer:

6(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

the common number for 6 and 18 is 6 so if you extract that from the expression then it turns to 6(x-3) which cannot be factored further

Triangle ABC has AB=5, BC=7, and AC=9. D is on AC with BD=5. Find the length of DC

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

$DC=\frac{8}{3}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

The triangle ABD is an isosceles triangle

because

AB=BD

The segment BM is a perpendicular bisector segment AD

so

<em>In the right triangle ABM</em>

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$BM^2=AB^2-AM^2$

we have

$AB=5\ units\\AM=x\ units$

substitute

$BM^2=5^2-x^2$

$BM^2=25-x^2$ -----> equation A

<em>In the right triangle BMC</em>

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$BM^2=BC^2-MC^2$

we have

$BC=7\ units\\MC=AC-AM=(9-x)\ units$

substitute

$BM^2=7^2-(9-x)^2$

$BM^2=49-(81-18x+x^2)$

$BM^2=49-81+18x-x^2$

$BM^2=-x^2+18x-32$ ----> equation B

equate equation A and equation B

$-x^2+18x-32=25-x^2$

solve for x

$18x=25+32\\18x=57\\\\x=\frac{57}{18}$

Simplify

$x=\frac{19}{6}$

<em>Find the length of DC</em>

$DC=AC-2x$

substitute the given values

$DC=9-2(\frac{19}{6})$

$DC=9-\frac{19}{3}\\\\DC=\frac{8}{3}\ units$

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

7(-2) - 4(1) = -18

-14 - 4 = -18

-18 = -18

TRUE

(-2) + 12(1) = 10

-2 + 12 = 10

10 = 10

TRUE

Geometry math question please help

stiks02 [169]

You need this key result: in any polygon, the sum of the interior angles is

$(n-2)\times 180$

where $n$ is the number of sides of the polygon.

Your polygon has seven sides, and the measures of all angles are given. So, we can write

$2x+4x+4x+4x+4x+2x+10x = (7-2)\times 180$

Again, we've simply written that the sum of all interior angles is the number of sides, minus two, times 180.

We can simplify both sides: we sum like terms on the left hand side, and we easily compute the right hand side:

$30x = 5\times 180 = 900$

and we can solve this equation for $x$ by dividing both sides by 30:

$x = \cfrac{900}{30} = 30$

Finally, the required angles is $2x = 2\times 30 = 60$
