Answer:

The length of \overline {FH} is;

D. 38 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The type of the given quadrilateral FGHI = Rectangle

The diagonals of the quadrilateral = \overline {FH} and \overline {GI}

The length of IE = 3·x + 4

The length of EG = 5·x - 6

We have from segment addition postulate, \overline {GI} = IE + EG

The properties of a rectangle includes;

1) Each diagonal bisects the other diagonal into two

Therefore,  \overline {FH} bisects \overline {GI}, into two equal parts, from which we have;

IE = EG

\overline {GI} = IE + EG

3·x + 4 = 5·x - 6

4 + 6 = 5·x - 3·x = 2·x

10 = 2·x

∴ x = 10/2 = 5

From which we have;

IE = 3·x + 4 = 3 × 5 + 4 = 19 units

EG = 5·x - 6 = 5 × 5 - 6 = 19 units

\overline {GI} = IE + EG = 19 + 19 = 38 units

\overline {GI} = 38 units

2) The lengths of the two diagonals are equal. Therefore, the length of segment \overline {FH} is equal to the length of segment \overline {GI}

Mathematically, we have;

\overline {FH} = \overline {GI} = 38 units

∴ \overline {FH} = 38 units.

Given that the measurement is in centimeters, find the area of the circle to the nearest tenth. (Use 3.14 for π) the radius is 3
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Area of the circle = 28.26cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius of the circle= 3 cm

Area of the circle=\pi *r^2

As,  

        \pi =\frac{22}{7}=3.14

Putting the values in the formula:

Area of the circle=  3.14*3*3

    =3.14*9\\\\=28.26cm^2

The area of the circle is 28.26cm^2

X over 85 = 72 over 100
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

X=61.2

Step-by-step explanation:

x/85   =     72/100

x*100/8500           =    6120/8500

x*100 must equal 6120 therefore x must be 61.2 because 61.2 * 100 is 6120

Helppp!! Instructions: Find the missing side. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
natita [175]

Answer:

x ≈ 14.4

Step-by-step explanation:

using the cosine ratio in the right triangle

cos59° = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} = \frac{x}{28} ( multiply both sides by 28 )

28 × cos59° , then

x ≈ 14.4 ( to the nearest tenth )
