Answer: Segment BD = 15

Step-by-step explanation: Ok. So, we know that segment DE is parallel to segment BC and segment EF is parallel to segment AB. The triangle proportionality theorem states that if a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and also intersects the other two sides, the line divides the sides proportionally. To put it more simply; because segment EF is parallel to segment AB, triangles ADE and EFC are proportional and similar. From there we must find the scale factor by which these two triangles are proportional.

We can do this by dividing the corresponding segments by; each other.

24 ÷ 20 = 1.2

Scale Factor = 1.2

Then we divide segment AD (18) by the scale factor (1.2).

18 ÷ 1.2 = 15

Since segment EF is parallel to segment AB, segment EF corresponds and is congruent to segment DB.

So,

Segment BD = 15

I also got it right on the test, soooo.... yeah

Thar ya go

Answer:

$x = 2\sqrt{55}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the values for the leg and hypotenuse:

a (leg) = 6 cm

c (hypotenuse) = 16 cm

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of the other leg, x:

$x = \sqrt{c^{2} - a^{2} }$

$x = \sqrt{16^{2} - 6^{2} }$

$x = 2\sqrt{55}$

Answer in order:

False

True

False

True

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the solutions to the equation $3x^2 - 12 = 0$ are x = 12 and x = -12

Solve:

Common factor - $3(x^2-4)=0$

Divide both sides

$x^2-4=0$

Use the quadratic formula

$x=\sqrt{4,x}=\sqrt{-4$

x = 2, x = -2

Thus, This is false..

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are two unique solutions to the equations (x-3)^2 = 16

one variable in matrix = one possible value.

Therefore, x = 7, x = -1

Hence this is True

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The solutions for the equation 2(x-3)^2-18 = 0 are x = 6 and x = 0

$2x^3-18x^2+54x-72=0$

$x=5.080084$

Hence this is false

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The solutions for the equation 2(x-5)^2-8=0 are x = 7 and x = -7

Add both sides by 8

2(x-5)^2-8+8=0+8

2(x-5)^2=8

(x-5)^2=4

x = 7, x = 3

Hence, this is false

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The solutions for the equation (x + 3)^2-25 = -8 are x = 2 and x = -8

$(x+3)^2=17$

$x=\sqrt{17-3,}=-\sqrt{17}-3$

Hence this is false.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The solutions for the equation 2(2x-1)^2=18 are x = 5 and x = -4

$(2x-1)^2=9$

x=2, x = -1

Hence this is false.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The only solution for equation (2x-1)^2-49=0 is x = 4

$(2x-1)^2=49$

x = 4, x = -3

Hence, this is false

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The solutions for the equation 3(x+2)^2 - 3 = 0 are x = -3 and x = -1

$3(x+2)^2=3$

$(x+2)^2=1$

x = -1, x = -3

Hence, this is true

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The solutions for the equation 5x^2 - 180 = 0 are x = 6 and x = -6

Add 180 to both sides

$5x^2-180+180=0+180$

$5x^2 = 180$

$x^2 = 36$

$x=\sqrt{36},x=-\sqrt{36}$

x = 6, x = -6

Hence, this is true.
