If AB = 10, AD = 8, and AE = 12, what is the length of EC?

1 answer:

Karolina [17]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

AB is 16 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AE = EC

BF = FC

EF = 8 and DF = 10

To Find:

AB = ?

Solution:

Mid Point Theorem:

The Midpoint Theorem states that "the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side".

AE = EC .....Given

Therefore E is the Mid Point of AC.

BF = FC .....Given

Therefore F is the Mid Point of BC.

Therefore,

EF || AB ........................Mid Point Theorem.

..............Mid Point Theorem.

Substituting the values we get

Therefore AB is 16 units.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit rate of the 100m race is 2.12... m/s which you get by dividing the 100 meters by the 47 seconds. The unit rate for the 50m race is 2.08... m/s which you get by dividing the 50 meters by the 24 seconds. This means that the record for the 100m race is faster.

3.1 Find the equation of the line passing through (4, 5) and parallel to the line 3x – 2y = 4.

<em>Find the equation of the line passing through (4, 5) and parallel to </em>

<em> 3x-2y=4.</em>

<em />

<em> </em> $\rule{50}{1}\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}\rule{50}{1}$

First of all, We need to convert this equation from standard form (ax+by=c) into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b).

$\rightarrow$ First, add 2y on both sides:-

$\Large\textsf{3x+2y=4}$

$\rightarrow$ Now, subtract 3x on both sides:-

$\Large\textsf{2y=-3x+4}$

$\rightarrow$ Divide by 2 on both sides

$\Large\text{$y=-\displaystyle\frac{3}{2}x +2$}$

$\rule{300}{3}$

Now, let's find the equation of the line that's parallel to the given line.

Remember, if lines are parallel to each other, then their slope's the same.

So the slope of the line that's parallel to the line whose equation we just found, is

$\Large\text{$-\displaystyle\frac{3}{2}$}$

Now let's write the equation in point-slope form:-

$\hookrightarrow\sf{y-y_1=m(x-x_1)}$

Replace numbers with letters, as follows:-

$\sf{y-5=-\displaystyle\frac{3}{2} (x-4)}$

The equation above is the equation in point-slope form.

Incase you need it converted to slope intercept form, refer to the steps below ~

Multiply -3/2 times x and -4:-

$\hookrightarrow\sf{y-5=-\displaystyle\frac{3}{2} x-6}$

Now, Add 5 on both sides:-

$\hookrightarrow\sf{y=\displaystyle\frac{3}{2} x+1}$

$\Uparrow\sf{Our\:equation\:in\:slope\;intercept\;form}$

What is the y-intercept of the quadratic function f(x) = (x – 6)(x – 2)? (0,–6) (0,12) (–8,0) (2,0) Mark this and return Save an

juin [17]

the y intercept is the constant term on the x side

-6 * -2 which is 12

we can foil this out to see that

(x-6) (x-2)

x^2 -6x -2x+12

x^2 -8x+12

so the y intercept is (0,12)

What is 16.748 rounded to nearest hundredths

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

16.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The number 4 in 16.748 is in the hundredths place.

The number right behind it is 8, which is greater than or equal to 5...

...meaning that it should round up! Not stay the same.
