In rectangle ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect at E. If AE=3x-28 and DE=.5x+12, find the length of AC.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

In rectangle ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect at E, AE=3x-28 and DE=.5x+12.

To find:

The length of AC.

Solution:

We know that, diagonals of a rectangle are equal and they bisect each other.

In rectangle ABCD, diagonals AC and BD intersect at E, so

[tex]AE=BE=CE=DE[/tex]          ...(i)

Taking [tex]AE=DE[/tex], we get

[tex]3x-28=0.5x+12[/tex]

[tex]3x-0.5x=28+12[/tex]

[tex]2.5x=40[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.5.

[tex]x=\dfrac{40}{2.5}[/tex]

[tex]x=16[/tex]

Now,

[tex]AE=3x-28[/tex]

[tex]AE=3(16)-28[/tex]

[tex]AE=48-28[/tex]

[tex]AE=20[/tex]

Using segment addition property,

[tex]AC=AE+CE[/tex]

[tex]AC=AE+AE[/tex]         [Using (i)]

[tex]AC=20+20[/tex]

[tex]AC=40[/tex]

Therefore, the length of AC is 40 units.

Answers

Answer: 18² + 15² = 27²

Step-by-step explanation:

The side lengths of the triangle are 15cm, 18cm and 27cm. To know if it's a right angle triangle, the square of the length of the longest side which is the hypothenuse must be equal to the square of the two other sides. This will be:

18² + 15² = 27²

324 + 225 = 729

549 = 729

Since the answers gotten isn't equal, it is not a right angle triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluate (2x−1)−7, then set it equal to 2.

Subtract 7 from −1 = 2x−8

Solve 2x−8=2.

Move all terms not containing x to the right side of the equation.

Add 8 to both sides of the equation=2x=2+8

Add 2 and 8=2x=10

Divide each term by 2 and simplify.

Divide each term in 2x=10 by 2=2x/2=10/2

Cancel the common factor of 2

Cancel the common factor=10/2

Divide x by 1=x=10/2

The angles of elevation of a balloon from two points A and C on level ground are 24.5 and 41.3, respectively . Points A and C are 3.5 miles apart and the balloon is between the points. Approximate the height of the balloon above the ground.

Answers

Answer:

height of the balloon = 1.0494 miles        

Step-by-step explanation:

I drew a triangle and labeled angles A, B and C and sides a, b and c.

a = (c · sin A) / sin C = (3.5 · sin 24.5°) / sin 114.2° = 1.4514 / 0.9121 = 1.59 miles

now we have a 90° triangle

h = (a · sin B) / sin 90° = (1.59 · sin 41.3°) / sin 90° = 1.0494 / 1 = 1.0494 miles

The required number of apples is 18 for which the prediction of the total weight is an extrapolation.

Data has been given, for apples as weight and number of apples, for the number of apples is the prediction of the total weight an extrapolation is to determine.


What is extrapolation?

Extrapolation is defined as the estimation of an unspecified value established on extending a known series of values or realities. Extrapolating is to assume something not directly stated from existing data. Alter of extrapolation is Interpolation, it is the accomplishment of calculating a value between two comprehended values that exist between a sequence of values.

Since among the options number of apples for extrapolation is supposed to be the one that is beyond the given range, So for the following number of apples is 18.

Thus, The required number of apples is 18 for which the prediction of the total weight is an extrapolation.

Brandi earned $140 from a summer job to buy new clothes for school. She found several items she would like to buy, but is trying to decide if she has enough money to buy all the items she likes. She found two pairs of shorts for $25 each and four shirts with an average cost of $19 per shirt. She will have to pay 7.5% sales tax.

Answers

Answer:

She will pay a tax of $9.45

Step-by-step explanation:

The question doesn't seem complete, but since we are given her tax rate, then they would surely ask for the amount of tax she paid. So let's work on this.

We are told that she bought two pairs of shorts and one short goes for $25 each, this implies that she will get the two for:

= $25 × 2

= $50

We are also told that she got four shirts that have an average cost of $19 per shirt. This implies that she will get the four shirt for:

= $19 × 4

= $76

Since she will have to pay a tax of 7.5%, then we will calculate it as:

= 7.5% × ($50 + $76)

= 0.075 × $126

= $9.45

Answer:

A. $9.45

B. Total cost = $135.45

Step-by-step explanation:

PART A: If she buys all of the items, how much sales tax will she have to pay?

The sales tax for Brandi's purchase will be $(insert answer here)

PART B: What is the total cost of her purchase including sales tax?

Brandi will spend $(insert answer here) on her purchases, including sales tax.

A.

Total amount earned = $140

Two pairs of shorts = $25 each

Total cost of 2 shorts = 2 shorts × $25 each

= $50

Four shirts = $19 each

Total cost of 4 shirts = 4 × $19

= $76

Amount of Sales tax = 7.5% of Total cost of 2 shorts + Total cost of 4 shirts

= 7.5% ($50 + $76)

= 0.075 × 126

= $9.45

Total cost = Total cost of 2 shorts + Total cost of 4 shirts + Amount of Sales tax

= $50 + $76 + $9.45

= $135.45

Therefore, she has enough money to buy all the items she likes
