Answer:

8. c. (-1, -1)

9. a. (-6, -1)

b. True

Step-by-step Explanation:

8. Given the midpoint M(2, 4), and one endpoint D(5, 7) of segment CD, the coordinate pair of the other endpoint C, can be calculated as follows:

let D(5, 7) = (x_2, y_2)

C(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)

M(2, 4) = (\frac{x_1 + 5}{2}, \frac{y_1 + 7}{2})

Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of C

2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2} and 4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}

Solve for each:

2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}

2*2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}*2

4 = x_1 + 5

4 - 5 = x_1 + 5 - 5

-1 = x_1

x_1 = -1

4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}

4*2 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}*2

8 = y_1 + 7

8 - 7 = y_1 + 7 - 7

1 = y_1

y_1 = 1

Coordinates of endpoint C is (-1, 1)

9. a.Given segment AB, with midpoint M(-4, -5), and endpoint A(-2, -9), find endpoint B as follows:

let A(-2, -9) = (x_2, y_2)

B(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)

M(-4, -5) = (\frac{x_1 + (-2)}{2}, \frac{y_1 + (-9)}{2})

-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2} and -5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}

Solve for each:

-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}

-4*2 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}*2

-8 = x_1 - 2

-8 + 2 = x_1 - 2 + 2

-6 = x_1

x_1 = -6

-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}

-5*2 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}*2

-10 = y_1 - 9

-10 + 9 = y_1 - 9 + 9

-1 = y_1

y_1 = -1

Coordinates of endpoint B is (-6, -1)

b. The midpoint of a segment, is the middle of the segment. It divides the segment into two equal parts. The answer is TRUE.

The answer to is 15 because your trying to make all of the angles add up to 90, which 45+30= 75 so then you only need 15 more to add up to 90.

An acute triangle has sides measuring 10 cm and 16 cm. The length of the third side is unknown.
saveliy_v [14]

Answer: Choice B

12.5 < x < 18.9

================================================

Explanation:

We have a triangle with these side lengths:

  • a = 10
  • b = 16
  • c = x = unknown

Let's assume that b = 16 is the largest side of this triangle.

By the converse of the pythagorean theorem, we need b^2 < a^2+c^2 to be true in order for an acute triangle to happen.

So,

b^2 < a^2 + c^2\\\\c^2 > b^2 - a^2\\\\c > \sqrt{b^2-a^2}\\\\x > \sqrt{16^2-10^2}\\\\x > \sqrt{156}\\\\x > 12.4899959967968 \ \text{(approximate)}\\\\x > 12.5

Now let's consider the possibility that the missing side x is actually the longest side.

Using the same theorem as before, we would say,

c^2 < a^2 + b^2\\\\c < \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\\\\x < \sqrt{10^2 + 16^2}\\\\x < \sqrt{356}\\\\x < 18.8679622641132 \ \text{(approximate)}\\\\x < 18.9\\\\

We found that x > 12.5 and x < 18.9

This is the same as saying 12.5 < x and x < 18.9

Put together, they form the approximate answer of 12.5 < x < 18.9

A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x is
mamaluj [8]

Answer: The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 3-point questions.

Let y represent the number of 5-point questions.

The maths test consists of 24 questions. This means that

x + y = 24

Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 and the test is worth 100 points. This means that

3x + 5y = 100 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 24 - y into equation 1, it becomes

3(24 - y) + 5y = 100

72 - 3y + 5y = 100

- 3y + 5y = 100 - 72

2y = 28

y = 28/2 = 14

Substituting y = 14 into x = 24 - y , it becomes

x = 24 - 14 = 10

The problem involves a conversion from feet to miles. How many feet are in one mile? Use the Internet or another resource if you
Ghella [55]

The value of the 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet

We have given that,

The problem involves a conversion from feet to miles.

We have to determine how many feet are in one mile.

<h3>What is the conversion form?</h3>

Conversion of units is the conversion between different units of measurement for the same quantity, typically through multiplicative conversion factors.

1 mile is equal to 5280 feet

Therefore we get,

1mile=5280 feet.
