Answer:

A: FG = ½GC

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AD, BC and CD are medians concurrent at G, it means G is the centroid.

Now, when median passes through the centroid, the centroid divides the median in the ratio of 2:1.

Also,that the median touches the side of the triangle at their midpoints.

Thus,by inspection, we can say that;

GD = ⅓AD

GC/FG = 2/1

Thus, GC = 2FG and FG = ½GC

BG = ⅔BE

Tbus,looking at the options given and what we have gotten in proof, we can say only FG = ½GC is correct.

In the figure below

1) Using the theorem of similar triangles (ΔBXY and ΔBAC),

$\frac{BX}{BA}=\frac{BY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC}$

Where

$\begin{gathered} BX=4 \\ BA=5 \\ BY=6 \\ BC\text{ = x} \end{gathered}$

Thus,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{5}=\frac{6}{x} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 4\times x=6\times5 \\ 4x=30 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which is 4} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{30}{4} \\ x=7.5 \end{gathered}$

thus, BC = 7.5

2) BX = 9, BA = 15, BY = 15, YC = y

In the above diagram,

$\begin{gathered} BC=BY+YC \\ \Rightarrow BC=15\text{ + y} \end{gathered}$

Thus, from the theorem of similar triangles,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{BX}{BA}=\frac{BY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC} \\ \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \end{gathered}$

solving for y, we have

$\begin{gathered} \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 9(15+y)=15(15) \\ \text{open brackets} \\ 135+9y=225 \\ \text{collect like terms} \\ 9y\text{ = 225}-135 \\ 9y=90 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of y, which is 9} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{9y}{9}=\frac{90}{9} \\ \Rightarrow y=10 \end{gathered}$

thus, YC = 10.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!! Will give brainliest!

Hi there! 9.125 * 10^-3 is definitely less than 9.125 * 10^2, because when it comes to negative powers of 10, the numbers are decimals. 10^-3 equals 0.001 or one thousandths in word form. 10^2 is 100. When solving for the answers. 0.009125 is less than 912.5. When 912.5 is divided by 0.009125 912.5 is 100^5 or 100,000 times greater than 0.009125. The answer is that 9.125 * 10^-3 is 100,000 (100^5) times less than 9.125 * 10^2.
