Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For a point to be the midpoint of a line segment, it must bisect it into two equal segments and be on the line segment (hence, colinear with the endpoints). All four B points are equidistant from points A and C, but aren’t colinear with A and C. Therefore, they aren’t all midpoints of line segment AC.

I hope this helps! :)

STVU is an isosceles trapezoid. If SV = 3x - 11 and TU = x + 13, find the value of x

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The given trapezoid will have the sides ST, TV, VU, and US. Each of these can be assigned as base or legs. By this, it can be deduced that the given sides, SV and TU are the diagonals. Because the trapezoid is isosceles, the values of SV and TU should also be equal.

SV = TU
3x - 11 = x + 13

Transpose the terms with x and the constants in each sides of the equation.

3x - x = 13 + 11
2x = 24
 x = 12

Thus, the value of x from the equation is 12.

Simplify sin θ / square root 1 - sin^2 θ

Soloha48 [4]

Recall that

$\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1$

which means

$\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}}=\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\sqrt{\cos^2\theta}}$

Now, $\cos\theta$ could be positive or negative, which means $\sqrt{\cos^2\theta}=|\cos\theta|$ . If we specifically knew the sign of $\cos\theta$ was positive, then we can simplify and write

$\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}}=\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=\tan\theta$

or if it's negative,

$\dfrac{\sin\theta}{\sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}}=\dfrac{\sin\theta}{-\cos\theta}=-\tan\theta$

Which equation represents this problem?

ale4655 [162]

Let's turn this english into numbers:
The time it takes Tomás to bike to the community center is 2 minutes less than half the time it takes him to bike to the city park.
Since p = the time it takes Tomás to bike to the park, and it takes18 minutes to bike to the community center, the sentence turns into:
18 = 2 minutes less than half p
18 = 2 minutes less than 1/2p
18 = 1/2p-2
D.1/2p–2=18
