Answer:

The measure of AB is 29

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>If a line is drawn from a vertex of a triangle perpendicular to the opposite side to this vertex and bisects it, then </em><em>the sides joining this vertex are equal in lengths</em>

In Δ ABD

∵ Line AC ⊥ side BD

∵ BC = BD = 15

∴ C is the mid-point of The side BD

∴ Line AC is a perpendicular bisector of side BD

→ By using the rule above

∴ AB = AD

∵ AB = 5x - 11

∵ AD = 3x + 5

→ Equate them

∴ 5x - 11 = 3x + 5

→ Add 11 to both sides

∵ 5x - 11 + 11 = 3x + 5 + 11

∴ 5x = 3x + 16

→ Subtract 3x from both sides

∵ 5x - 3x = 3x - 3x + 16

∴ 2x = 16

→ Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 8

→ Substitute the value x in the expression of side AB

∵ AB = 5(8) - 11

∴ AB = 40 - 11

∴ AB = 29

∴ The measure of AB is 29

PLEASE HELP ME! Select the correct answer. Consider function g. Which function could be the inverse of function g?
maria [59]

Answer:

A)  k(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

An inverse function does the opposite to the function.

For example, if the function was "+2" then the inverse would be "-2", or if the function was "×2" the inverse would be "÷2".

An <u>inverse function</u> is a <u>reflection of the function in the line y = x</u>

Therefore (x, y) → (y, x)

(-8, 2) → (2, -8)

(-4, 3) → (3, -4)

(0, 4) → (4, 0)

(4, 5) → (5, 4)

(8, 6) → (6, 8)

Therefore, the function k(x) could be an inverse of function g(x).

Kyle spends an equal amount of money each day. After 4 days, he had 4/5 of his money left. After another 10 days he had $30 left
Elden [556K]
4 days spending equal amounts so if x is how much he spends per day and y is the original amount then 4x=1/5y bc he has 4/5 left meaning what he spent was 1/5 of the original and after 10 more days which was 14 total he spent all but 30 so the total minus 30 will be how much kyle spent so
14x=y-30 which is y=(14x+30) and substitute that in for y in 4x=1/5y so 4x=1/5 (14x+30)
20x=14x+30
6x=30
x=5 and plug that in either of the original equations 4(5)=1/5y
y=100
so he had $100 and spent $5 per day

aleksandr82 [10.1K]
So, Mr Yeo has 32 litres of water to begin, by taking away the 3/8 (12 litres) you get 20 litres, dividing that by 4 gives you 5litres.

Your answer is then 5 Litres
