Since my name is in this question, I'll answer it :)

Answer:

Yes, she's right.

Step-by-step explanation:

2/8 is simplified to 1/4. Between 1 and 1/2, it is 1/4. So yes, I (Candice) was right. :)

How do I solve this?

I’m assuming what you’re asking here is how to *factor* this expression. For that, let’s rearrange the expression into a more familiar form:

-c^2-4c+21

From here, we’ll factor out a -1 so that we have:

-(c^2+4c-21)

Let’s focus on the quadratic expression inside the parentheses. To find our factors (c + x)(c + y), we’ll need to find two terms x and y that multiply together to make -21 and add together to make 4. It turns out that the numbers -3 and 7 work out perfectly for that purpose (-3 x 7 = -21 and 7 + (-3) = 4), so substituting them in for x and y, we have:

(c + (-3))(c + 7)
(c - 3)(c + 7)

And adding back on the negative from a few steps earlier:

-(c - 3)(c + 7)

In the figure below, \overline{AD} AD start overline, A, D, end overline and \overline{BE} BE start overline, B, E, end overline

Answer:

<u>The measure of the arc CD = 64°</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

It is required to find the measure of the arc CD in degrees.

So, as shown at the graph

BE and AD are are diameters of circle P

And ∠APE is a right angle ⇒ ∠APE = 90°

So, BE⊥AD

And so, ∠BPE = 90° ⇒(1)

But it is given: ∠BPE = (33k-9)° ⇒(2)

From (1) and (2)

∴ 33k - 9 = 90

∴ 33k = 90 + 9 = 99

∴ k = 99/33 = 3

The measure of the arc CD = ∠CPD = 20k + 4

By substitution with k

<u>∴ The measure of the arc CD = 20*3 + 4 = 60 + 4 = 64°</u>

Solve the following proportion? 5/10 = 8/w​
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

solve the following proportion?

5/10 = 8/w​

5 : 10 = 8 : w

w = (10 * 8) : 5

w = 80 : 5

w = 16

----------------------

check

5 : 10 = 8 : 16

0.5 = 0.5

The answer is good

If the perimeter of the triangle is 32 cm what is the length of each two sides? Write and solve equation
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

12 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two congruent sides which are legs(2 sides having same length )If x is length of each leg, then we ca write the equation like this

equation: x+x+8=32

combine like terms

2x +8 = 32

minus 8 from each side

2x=32-8

2x=24

divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 24/2

x=12 centimeters
