Answer:
The measure of segment AC is 36 units
Step-by-step explanation:
- The mid-point divides the segment into two equal parts in length
- B is the mid point of segment AC
- That means B divides segment AC into two equal parts in length
∴ AB = BC
∵ AC = 5x - 9
∵ AB = 2x
- The two parts AB and BC are equal in length
∴ BC = 2x
∵ AC = AB + BC
- Substitute the values of AB and BC in the expression of AC
∴ AC = 2x + 2x
∴ AC = 4x
∵ AC = 5x - 9
- Equate the two values of AC
∴ 5x - 9 = 4x
- Add 9 to both sides
∴ 5x = 4x + 9
- Subtract 4x from both sides
∴ x = 9
- Substitute the value of x in any expression of AC
∵ AC = 4x
∵ x = 9
∴ AC = 4(9) = 36
* The measure of segment AC is 36 units
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 - 1/4
8/12 - 3/12= 5/12
The 1st option is correct.
96/100 into simplest form is 24/25. I hope this helps.
