1) IF DE = 9, find BC

Mathematics
1 answer:
swat323 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1. BC = 18

2. m<ABC = 80°

3. x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If DE = 9, therefore:

BC = 2 \times 9 = 18 (based on the midsegment theorem, DE is half the length of the third side, BC)

2. m<ADE = 80°, then,

m<ABC = 80°

This is because m<ADC and m<ABC are corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are congruent.

3. DE = 2x + 7 , and BC = 7x - 1, find BC

Thus:

BC = 2 \times DE (midsegment theorem)

7x - 1 = 2 \times (2x + 7) (substitution)

Solve for x

7x - 1 = 4x + 14

Collect like terms

7x - 4x = 1 + 14

3x = 15

Divide both sides by 3

x = 5

Derek measured the height of a window frame as 5.49 feet, but the actual height was 6 feet. What is the percentage of error in D
KIM [24]
Actual = 6 feet.

Measure = 5.49 feet

Error = 6 - 5.49 = 0.51

% Error = (Error / Actual) * 100% 
 
              = 0.51/6 * 100% = 8.5%

I need help pls it’s a final
algol [13]

Answer:

A.Both of the students did the problem correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

B. Nikki multiplied the fraction(8/3) to the items in the parentheses. Then multiplied each side with 3. Jon did the opposite. He first removed the fraction by multiplying each side by 3. Then he multiplied 2 to the items in the paranthesis.

C. I prefer Jon's method. Fractions can be tricky. I prefer to remove them as soon as possible. This time the items in the paranthesis had whole numbers. But had any of them been a fraction too, the problem would have gotten a lot more tricky and it would very easy to make a mistake or miscalculate something.
