The value of the length DF is 1/4 of that of CD because of the Angle Bisector Theorem for triangles.

<h3>What is the Angle Bisector Theorem?</h3>

The Angel Bisector Theorem states that if a ray bisects an angle of a triangle, it dissects the side of the triangle that is opposite to the dissected angle into parts that are proportionate to the adjacent sides.

Note that the angle that has been dissected here is ∠CBD. Thus,

$\frac{DF}{CF}$ = $\frac{BD}{BC}$

Suppose you are running a racing tournament with 12 horses. All eligible horses run in the race at once, and after the first rac

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

a) 66

b) 45

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 12 horses and after the first race 2 of them have to be eliminated

that condition is equal to consider that 10 horses will be available for the second race.

The number of possiblities we have for the first race is the combination of 12 horses in group of 10

C¹²₁₀ = 12!/ (2!)* (12-2)! = 12*11/2 = 66

For the second race

C¹⁰₈ = 10! / 8! * (10-8)! = 10*9/ 2 = 45

Is triangle XYZ = ABC ? If so, name the postulate that applies. A. Congruent - ASA B. Congruent - SAS C. Might not be congruent

vivado [14]

The answer is the SAS postulate. The two triangles have two pairs of corresponding, congruent sides, and the included angles are congruent. And thus, triangles XYZ and ABC are congruent by the SAS postulate.

What is the value of the expression below when c - 5 and d - 4 (c is to the second power)?

mina [271]

Well, let's write it out, shall we? 6c2-5d+8 Now plug in the numbers. 6(5^2)2-5(4)+8 Now simplify using PEMDAS Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition and Subtraction (They go together go from left to right in the equation) 5^2= 5*5 = 25 6 * 25 = 150 150 * 2 = 300 5 * 4 = 20 Rewrite the equation. 150-20+8 Use PEMDAS again ( refer to the previous mentioning) 150 - 20 = 130 130 + 8 = 138
