Answer:
BC = 33.9
Step-by-step explanation:
here,
AB = 17, BC = ?, AC = 38
By Pythagoras Theorem
AB² + BC² = AC²
BC² = AC² - AB²
BC² = 38² - 17²
BC² = 1444 - 289
BC² = 1155
BC = √1155
BC = 33.9
If Marcy would want to have 2 bags with the equal amount of sauce from a 9.98 pound bag of sauce, then all she needs to do is to divide the total amount of sauce, which is 9.98, by 2 bags. So if she would do this, then the equation will be 9.98/2. The answer to this problem would be 4.99 pounds of sauce per bag. This makes since because 4.99 pounds (in the first bag) + 4.99 pounds (in the second bag) will make up 9.98 pounds which is the total amount of sauce Marcy has.
Answer: 12 inches
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, since we're asked to find the length of the median, let's use our formula for the area of a trapezoid that involves the median which is shown below.
Area = median · height
We know that the area is 144 and the height is 9 so we can set up the equation 144 = M · 12. Now to solve for <em>m</em>, we divide both sides of the equation by 12 and we find that 12 = M.
So the length of the median of the trapezoid is 12 inches.
