Find the length of AB
AB²=20²+15²
AB²=400+225
AB²=625
AB=25
then find AD and BD
20²=AD·25
400=AD·25
AD=16
15²=BD·25
225=BD·25
BD=9
now use the geometric mean theorem (name?) to find CD
CD=√(9·16)
CD=√144
CD=12 cm
i used polynomial division.. i hope this helps :)
Answer:
D. between 5.4 cm and 6.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment is about 6cm
and 6cm is between 5.4 and 6.5
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The midsegment is half the sum of the parallel bases, that is
(3x + 3 + 4x + 2) = 13
(7x + 5) = 13 ( multiply both sides by 2 )
7x + 5 = 26 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
7x = 21 ( divide both sides by 7 )
x = 3
