Mathematics

sdas [7]3 years ago

Answer:

13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The legs of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent, then

x + 8 = 48 - 7x ( add 7x to both sides )

8x + 8 = 48 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

8x = 40 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 5

Then

leg = x + 8 = 5 + 8 = 13

A driver can be jailed up to one year and fined up to $5,000 if he or she refuses to bring his or her vehicle to a stop when given a visual or an audible signal by a police officer.

Answer: Option B

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

This Vehicle codes 2800.1 state a violation or avoidance of police. The rules as follows: "Any person who, while driving a motor vehicle and intentionally avoiding it, intentionally escapes or attempts to escape from a peace officer " Any driver who "intentionally fails or refuses to stop the vehicle or otherwise, an attempt to escape or prosecute the pursuing police officer when he receives a visual and audible signal to stop the vehicle.

"Visual and audible" signals include sirens, lights, hand signals and voice commands. You must have been able to hear and / or see these signals to be accused of escaping and attempting to escape from the police. This is a level II or level 3 crime, and any penalties for those fleeing or trying to avoid a police officer will depend on the scale of the crime they are suspected of.

In the diagram below, DE and EF are tangent to O. Which equation could be solved to find X, the measure of DF.
Brut [27]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter D

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

                     m∠E = \frac{1}{2} ( DGF - DF)

Data

m∠E = 48°

DGF = 228°

DF = x°

Substitution

                    48° = \frac{1}{2} ( 228° - x°)

Solution

                                     2(48) = 228 - x°

                                     96 = 228 - x°

                                     96 - 228 = - x°

                                    - 132 = - x°

                                       x° = 132°

Which pair of undefined terms is used to define a ray?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

A point and a line.

Further explanation:

Ray is part of the line with one endpoint. Ray is an endless straight path in one direction from a starting point, e.g., .

The arrow above the point shows the direction of the longitudinal beam. The length of the ray cannot be calculated.

Undefined terms are basic figure that is not defined in terms of other figures. The undefined terms (or primitive terms) in geometry are a point, line, and plane.

These key terms cannot be mathematically defined using other known words.

A point represents a location and has no dimension (size).  It is labeled with a capital letter and a dot.

A line is an infinite number of points extending in opposite directions that have only one dimension. It has one dimension. It is a straight path and no thickness.

A plane is a flat surface that contains many points and lines.  A plane extends infinitely in all four directions.  It is two-dimensional.  Three noncollinear points determine a plane, as there is exactly one plane that can go through these points.
