DB is a median (given). It goes from vertex point D to midpoint B.
The point B is the midpoint of segment AC. So B cuts AC into two equal halves: AB and AC
Meaning AB = AC
AC = AB+BC ... segment addition postulate
AC = AB+AB ... substitution; replace BC with AB (valid because AB = AC)
AC = 2*AB
2*AB = AC
2*AB = 50 ... substitution; replace AC with 50
2*AB/2 = 50/2 ... divide both sides by 2
AB = 25 which is the answer
Answer:
length = 14 m
width = 7 m
Step-by-step explanation:
l = length
w = width
l = 2w - 8
w(2w - 8) = 42
2w² - 8w - 42 = 0
you can factor out a 2 to work with smaller numbers:
w² - 4w - 21 = 0
(w - 7)(w + 3) = 0
w = 7
'w' cannot equal a negative so we discount it as an answer
find length:
l = 2(7) - 8
l = 14 - 8 or 6m
Area divided by length= width
x^3+12x^2+47x+60 ÷ x+5=w
Answer:
1
Step-by-step explanation:
You "complete the square" by adding the square of half the x-term coefficient. Here, that is ...
((-2)/2)² = 1 . . . . value added to complete the square
If you want to keep 0 on the right, you must also subtract this value:
x² -2x -36 = 0
x² -2x +1 -36 -1 = 0 . . . . . . add and subtract 1 on the left
(x -1)² -37 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . written as a square
Answer:
161 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
What we know:
1. beginning value = 20 dollars
2. +10 dollars from mom
3. +30 dollars from dad
4. +100 dollars from aunt and uncle
5. +1 dollar
Add the values
20+10+30+100+1
= 161 dollars
I hope this helps!
