Answer:

12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the inverse of the pythagorean theorem to do this so you do square root of (20x20-16x16) which is 12

Given: Base ∠BAC and ∠ACB are congruent.
Sergio039 [100]

Refer to the image attached.

Given: \angle BAC and \angle ACB are congruent.

To Prove: \DeltaABC is an isosceles triangle.

Construction: Construct a perpendicular bisector from point B to Line segment AC.

Consider triangle ABD and BDC,

\angle BAD = \angle BCD (given)

\angle ADB = \angle BDC = 90^\circ

(By the definition of a perpendicular bisector)

AD=DC (By the definition of a perpendicular bisector)

Therefore, \Delta ABD \cong \Delta BDC by Angle Side Angle(ASA) Postulate.

Line segment AB is congruent to Line segment BC because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.(CPCTC)

What are the coordinates of point B on \overline{AC} such that AB = 1/2 BC
marta [7]

Answer:

C. B(x,y) = \left(3,-\frac{16}{3} \right)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A(x,y) = (6,-7), B(x,y) = (x,y) and C(x,y) = (-3,-2). From statement we know that AB = \frac{1}{2}\cdot BC, which is equivalent to the following linear algebraic formula:

B(x,y) -A(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot [C(x,y)-B(x,y)] (1)

B(x,y)-A(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot C(x,y)-\frac{1}{2}\cdot B(x,y)

\frac{3}{2}\cdot B(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot C(x,y)+A(x,y)

B(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot C(x,y) +\frac{2}{3}\cdot A(x,y) (2)

Then, the coordinates of point B on AC are:

B(x,y) = \frac{1}{3}\cdot (-3,-2)+\frac{2}{3}\cdot (6,-7)

B(x,y) = \left(-1, -\frac{2}{3}\right)+\left(4, -\frac{14}{3} \right)

B(x,y) = \left(3,-\frac{16}{3} \right)

Which means that correct answer is C.

In 2012, the population of a city was 6.29 million. The exponential growth rate was
RoseWind [281]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) P(t) = 6.29e^(0.0241t)

  b) P(6) ≈ 7.3 million

  c) 10 years

  d) 28.8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

a) You have written the equation.

  P(t) = 6.29·e^(0.0241·t)

__

b) 2018 is 6 years after 2012.

  P(6) = 6.29·e^(0.0241·6) ≈ 7.2686 ≈ 7.3 . . . million

__

c) We want t for ...

  8 = 6.29·e^(0.0241t)

  ln(8/6.29) = 0.0241t

  t = ln(8/6.29)/0.0241 ≈ 9.978 ≈ 10.0 . . . years

__

d) Along the same lines as the calculation in part (c), doubling time is ...

  t = ln(2)/0.0241 ≈ 28.7613 ≈ 28.8 . . . years
