Answer:

DC = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The wrong equation was used.

The right equation to use based on the midsegment theorem of a trapezoid is:

MN = ½(AB + DC)

MN = 8

AB = 14

Substitute

8 = ½(14 + DC)

Multiply both sides by 2

8*2 = ½(14 + DC)*2

2*8 = 14 + DC

16 = 14 + DC

16 - 14 = 14 + DC - 14

2 = DC

DC = 2

If a = 7 and b = 11, what is the measure of ∠B? (round to the nearest tenth of a degree)

Naddik [55]

Answer:

57.5 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this is a triangle

a is adjacent is ∠B

b is opposite of ∠B

Use the inverse tangent equation: $tan^{-1} (11/7)$

This equals to 57.52880771

ABCD is a parallelogram and this figure is NOT drawn to scale.

dimulka [17.4K]

The angle does not matter. Think of it as finding the other side to a triangle. Use $a ^{2} +b^2 =c^2$

a=39 (line AB)
b=b (the leg we need to find)
c=89 (line BD)

$39^2 + b^2 = 89^2$
$1521 + b^2 = 7921$
(subtract the 1521 from both sides)
$b^2 = 6400$
(square root both sides)
$\sqrt{(b^2)} = \sqrt{6400} 
$

b = 80
AD=80
