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

katen-ka-za [31]
Just solve the equations:
<span>A) X - Y = 11
B) 2x + Y = 19
Multiply A) by -2
</span>
<span>A) -2X  +2Y = -22 then add to B)
</span><span>B) 2x + Y = 19
3Y = -3
Y=-1
</span>
<span>A) X - -1 = 11
x = 10

MATH HELP!!!
AfilCa [17]
1220*24 = 29,280 per year

multiply that by number of years until he retires:

761280 / 29280 = 26 years

292800 / 29280 = 10 years

the other 2 arent even years so it should be one of those 2. I would say the larger number
