Describe and correct the error in finding DC

Mathematics
1 answer:
sleet_krkn [62]3 years ago
6 0

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

How many solutions exist for the system below? In two or more complete sentences, give the solution and explain how you solved t
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-2x + 3

y = -2*3x​

Both equations are lines.

Two lines will intersect at one point

I will set the two equations equal and solve for the x coordinate.

-2x+3 = -6x

Add 2x from each side

3 = -4x

Divide by -4

-3/4 = x

Now find y

y = -6x

y = -6(-3/4)

y = 18/4 = 9/2

The solution is ( -3/4, 9/2)
