Point B is on line segment AC. If AB = x + 6, BC = x + 8 and AC = 10, then find the value of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

this simply means that the sum of both short segments must be the same as the length of the whole line.

so,

x + 6 + x + 8 = 10

2x + 14 = 10

x + 7 = 5

x = 5 - 7 = -2

Answer:

La distancia de C con respecto a A es de 197.788 metros.

Step-by-step explanation:

A manera de imagen adjunta construimos una representación del enunciado del problema, la cual representa a un triángulo cuyos tres ángulos son conocidos y la longitud del segmento AB, medida en metros, son conocidos. Por medio de la Ley del Seno podemos calcular la longitud del segmento AC (distancia de C con respecto a A), medida en metros:

$\frac{AB}{\sin C} = \frac{AC}{\sin B}$ (1)

Si sabemos que $B = 57^{\circ}$ , $C = 58^{\circ}$ y $AB = 200\,m$ , entonces la longitud del segmento AC es:

$AC = AB\cdot \left(\frac{\sin B}{\sin C} \right)$

$AC = (200\,m)\cdot \left(\frac{\sin 57^{\circ}}{\sin 58^{\circ}} \right)$

$AC = 197.788\,m$

La distancia de C con respecto a A es de 197.788 metros.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple probability is a ratio of the number of ways the thing we want to happen can to the total possible outcomes.

(For example, we flip a coin and want heads, but it can land on heads or tails. Our probability of getting heads is 1/2, one way to get heads over the 2 possible outcomes)

So for this problem, there's 20 possible things that CAN happen (3 + 7 + 10) and 10 ways we get what we want (a green marble).

Our probability of getting a green marble is $\frac{10}{20\\}$ , which simplifies to $\frac{1}{2}$
