Answer:

AB = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

BD = 5x – 26

BC = 2x + 1

AC = 43

Using the segment addition postulate, AC = AB + BC.

We know that BD = BC, BD = 5x-26 and BC = 2x+1. We can set up an equation to find the value of x:

5x - 26 = 2x + 1 Subtract 2x from each side

5x - 26 - 2x = 2x + 1 - 2x

3x-26 = 1 Add 26 to each side

3x-26+26 = 1+26

3x=27 Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 27/3

x = 9

This means that BC = 2x + 1 = 2(9) + 1 = 18 + 1 = 19.

We know that AC = AB + BC; using our given information as well as the value of BC we just found, we have

43 = AB + 19 Subtract 19 from each side

43 - 19 = AB + 19 - 19

24 = AB

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The difference between the area of Texas and Rhode Island in square miles and scientific notation = (2.68 × 10⁵) square miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Texas = (2.69 × 10⁵) square miles = 269000 square miles

Area of Rhode Island = (1.21 × 10³) square miles = 1210 square miles

Difference between the Area of the Texas and Rhode Island = 269000 - 1210 = 267,790 square miles = (2.68 × 10⁵) square miles.

The difference between the area of Texas and Rhode Island in square miles and scientific notation = (2.68 × 10⁵) square miles.

Hope this Helps!!!

As part of Kayla's exercise program,she either runs 6miles/day or rides her bike 10 miles/day.Her new goal is to cover a minimum

poizon [28]

6(15) + 10b > = 200
90 + 10b > = 200
10b > = 200 - 90
10b > = 110
b > = 110/10
b > = 11

so she can do 15 days of running plus 11 days of biking....which totals 26 days

Quadrilateral TRAM is rotated -90 degrees about the origin. Draw the image of this rotation.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Please find attached the image of the quadrilateral TRAM after a rotation of -90 degrees, created with MS Excel

Step-by-step explanation:

The given coordinates of the vertices of the quadrilateral TRAM are;

T(-5, 1), R(-7, 7), A(-1, 7), M(-5, 4)

By a rotation of -90 degrees = Rotation of 90 degrees clockwise, we get;

The coordinates of the preimage before rotation = (x, y)

The coordinates of the image after rotation = (y, -x)

Therefore, we get for the the quadrilateral T'R'A'M', by rotating TRAM -90 degrees as follows;

T(-5, 1) → T'(1, 5)

R(-7, 7) → R'(7, 7)

A(-1, 7) → A'(7, 1)

M(-5, 4) → M'(4, 5)

The image of TRAM after -90 degrees rotation is created by plotting the derived points of the quadrilateral T'R'A'M' on MS Excel and joining the corresponding points as presented in the attached diagram.
