(-1,4) is the midpoint of D and E
The GCF stands for greatest common factor. To represent a sum by its GCF we need to use the distributive property and we need to first find the GCF of the numbers. Let's break each number by its factors:

We now multiply the numbers that appear on both.

We now apply the distributive property:
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
A. 17
Step-by-step explanation:
using the cosine rule (also see attached for reference):
AB² = BC² + AC² - 2·AC·BC cos C
2·AC·BC cos C = BC² + AC² - AB²
Given that AC = 18, AB = 12 and BC = 18, substituting these into the formula
2(18)(28) cos C = 28² + 18² - 12²
1008 cos C = 964
cos C = 964/1008
cos C = 0.9563
C = cos⁻¹ 0.9563
C = 16.99 ( = 17° rounded to nearest degree)
Asset = 264,000 / 0.75 = $352,000
Shareholders equity = $352,000 - $264,000 = 88,000
Return on equity = 49,280 / 88,000 x 100% = 56%
