Answer:

31.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

Plug in the knowns

a² + 23² = 39²

Subtract 23² from both sides

a² = 39² - 23²

a² = 1521 - 529

a² = 992

Take the square root of both sides

a = 31.496031496

Rounded

a = 31.5 ft

posledela

Answer:

B. 103°

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add up to 180°, so we can find the measure of angle 2 by subtracting 77 from 180

180 - 77

= 103

So, m∠2 is 103°

M is the centroid (center of gravity) of △ABC, line k goes thru M and intersects AB and AC . The distances of the vertices B and

lana [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of BC will be a distance from line k that is the average of the distances of B and C: (17+13)/2 = 15. Call that midpoint P. We know distance MP is half of distance MA. This same relationship will hold with respect to the distances from P and A to any line through M. That is, the distance from line k (through M) is twice the distance from P to line k: 30 units.
