Answer:

Line Segment

Step-by-step explanation:

A line segment has dots on both ends of the line. A line has nothing at either end of it. A ray has an arrow at one end of the line. Line BC is a line segment.

Hope it helps!

<h3>Answer: BC is a line segment</h3>

Explanation:

This is because we have two fixed endpoints, B and C, where the line does not go on forever beyond those endpoints. This means BC is some fixed length. The terms "line segment" and "segment" are the same thing.

A ray on the other hand would have the line go on forever in one direction, while it only has one fixed endpoint. As the name suggests, think of the ray of sunlight as an example. So we can rule out "ray". We can also rule out "line" because it doesn't extend forever in both directions.

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below? Check all that apply. 15x2 - 44x + 32 = 0

If you want to find the solutions for this you have to factor it. Since it's a second degree polynomial, you'll have 2 solutions. Factoring this using the quadratic formula, you'll get factors of (5x-8)(3x-4). Solving these for x you get x = 8/5 and x = 4/3.

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. This means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. To solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

A proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. We form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). Out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

$\frac{little}{big} =\frac{little}{big}$ .

$\frac{36}{36 + 12}=\frac{24}{24 + 6x - 4}$

To solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.

$36(24 + 6x - 4)=(36+12)(24)\\36(6x + 20)=48(24)\\216x + 720 = 1152 \\216x = 432\\\frac{216x}{216}=\frac{432}{216} \\x = 2$
