There are two triangles here: ABC and ADF. These triangles are similar, and thus proportional. So, we can set up a proportion between the left side of each triangle and the base of each triangle.

AB / AD = BC / DE

4 / (4 + BD) = 5 / 9

---AD is made up of AB and DB. We know AB, but not BD, so we need to find its value to find the length of AD.

5(4 + BD) = 9 x 4

20 + 5BD = 36

5BD = 16

BD = 3.2

AD = AB + BD

AD = 4 + 3.2

AD = 7.2

Hope this helps!

Which action is not a step in using paper folding to find the midpoint of a line
dedylja [7]

Answer:

A. Draw a line from the segment to any point on the fold line.

Step-by-step explanation:

When using the paper folding method to find the midpoint of a line segment we take the following steps:

  1. Draw a line segment on the tracing paper
  2. Fold the tracing paper so that the endpoints lie on top of each other
  3. Mark the intersection of the fold and the segment with a point

These steps include statements B, C, and D. Drawing a line from the segment to any point on the fold line, which is statement A,  is not included in these steps because it is not needed.

Thus, choice A is not a step in using paper folding to find the midpoint of a line segment.

Find x:<br><br><br><br><br> explain if you can!
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

x is 97

Step-by-step explanation:

the interior angles have to equal 180 and the exterior angles have to come to 360 degrees

so you already know 23 to find the one by the 106 degree you use the linear pair postulate ( angles on a straight line will equal 180) so 180-106 equals 74. Now you have 2 of the three interior angles. To find the third you take 180 - 74 - 23 which equals 83 then you can use the linear pair postulate again and take 180-83 to get your answer for x which equals 97
