Triangle ABC is isosceles with AB=CB. Circle M is inscribed in Triangle ABC such that it is tangent at points D, E, and F. If th

e length of BF is twice the length of CF and the perimeter of Triangle ABC is 32 inches, then determine the length of side BC in inches.

Answer:

The answer is "12 inches".

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the image file of the graph.

We know AE = CF \ and \ EB = FB so because the triangle is isosceles.

EB = 2x, FB = 2x,\ and \ CF = x when AE is called by x.

We know that AE = AD = x since E and D are tangent points to a circle.

They have CD = CF = x since D and F are tangent points only to circle.

Thus, if the perimeter is 32, the following is the result:

\to AE + EB + BF + FC + CD + DA = 32\\\\\to x + 2x + 2x + x + x + x = 32\\\\\to 8x = 32\\\\\to x = 4

Therefore the length of BC = BF + FC = 2x + x = 3x = 12\  inches

hram777 [196]

Answer:

x = 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

9x2−12x+4=0

Step 1: Factor left side of equation.

(3x−2)(3x−2)=0

Step 2: Set factors equal to 0.

3x−2=0 or 3x−2=0

x=  2 /3

Step-by-step explanation:

So to find the average I used a simple but pretty effective method

3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+8/26=3.1923

So the new average is 3.19

a swimming pool is 30 feet long 20 feet wide and 6 feet deep .There are 7.5 gallons of water in 1 cubic foot.How many gallons wi
Virty [35]
In this problem it is asking how many gallons the pool holds. It gives you a method of exchange from cubic feet to this however, so in order to solve for this, we first have to solve for how many cubic feet is in the swimming pool, or how much volume the swimming pool has. The formula for the volume of a rectangle is Length*Width*Depth=Volume. Plugging in what we have we get 30*20*6=Volume, or Volume = 3600. As there are 7.5 gallons of water in each cubic foot, we simply multiply 7.5 times 3600 to get the answer. This is 27000.

What is the sign of −4ab when a&gt;0 and b&lt;0?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression:

-4ab

And we want to find its sign given that a>0 and b<0.

Notice that the expression is already negative since we have -4.

a>0 means that a is positive. Therefore, we can ignore it since it won’t do anything.

b<0 means that b is negative. Therefore, we will have two negatives being multiplied together. Hence, this will make a positive.

Therefore, the sign of our expression will be positive.

We can see this with an example. Let a=1 (1>0) and let b=-1 (-1<0). Then:

-4(1)(-1)=4

So, the sign is positive.

Hence, the answer is A.
