Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

It turns out from similar triangles, that 7/BD = BD / 18. Use triangles  ABD and BDC to show this relationship. Solving this equation will give you BD

BD^2 = 7*18

BD^2 = 126     Just leave it in this form. Do your rounding at the end.

Because triangle BDC is a right angle triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for m

m^2 =  BD^2 + 7^2

m^2 = 126 + 49

m^2 = 175                         Take the square root of both sides.

sqrt(m^2) = sqrt(175)

m = 13.22

so the answer is D

A train leaves at 08.43 and arrives at its destination at 09.23. If the train travelled 73 km, what was it's average speed in km
serg [7]

Answer: 109.5 km/ hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = 73 km

Time = 40 minutes = 40/60 = 2/3 hours

Speed = Distance / time

= 73 / 2/3

= 73 x 3/2 = 219 / 2 = 109.5 km/hr

The two solids are similar and the ratio between the lengths of their edges is 2:9. What is the ratio of their surface areas? A)
masya89 [10]
When tow solids of similar shape that is assuming to be a box in this case, having a length ratio of 2:9, we get the ratio of the surface areas equal to the<span>square of the ratio of their edges. This is becaue the surface area is equal to the area of the base (square) which is the square of the side. Answer is B.</span>

Think about the commutative property of real number operations as it applies to addition and subtraction of functions how do you
kati45 [8]
The question does not make sense.
The commutative property applies to addition and multiplication, not addition and subtraction.
The commutative property does not apply to subtraction or division because in those operations, the order of the numbers makes a difference, whereas in addition and subtraction the order does not make a difference.

For example:

Addition
5 + 4 = 9
4 + 5 = 9
5 + 4 = 4 + 5
Changing the order of the 4 and the 5 gives the same answer.
The commutative property does apply to addition.

Multiplication 
5 * 4 = 20
4 * 5 = 20
5 * 4 = 4 * 5
Changing the order of the 4 and the 5 gives the same answer.
The commutative property does apply to multiplication.

Subtraction
5 - 4 = 1
4 - 5 = -1
5 - 4 is not equal to 4 - 5
Changing the order of the 4 and the 5 gives a different answer.
The commutative property does not apply to subtraction.

Division
5/4 = 1.25
4/5 = 0.8
1.25 is not equal to 0.8.
Changing the order of the 4 and the 5 gives a different answer.
The commutative property does not apply to division.

Look at the figure. Which step should be taken next to construct a line through point P perpendicular to BA?
alexira [117]

ANSWER:

C. Place the compass on point A. Open the compass to a point between point P and point B.

EXPLANATION:

A perpendicular is a line that would be at a right angle to line BA.

The next step is to chose a radius that is greater than PB or PA so as to construct the bisector. And this can be done by placing the compass on point A, and open the compass to a point between point P and point B.

Use this radius to draw an arc above and below the line, and repeat the same using B as the center with the same radius. This would form two intersecting arcs above and below line BA. Join the point of intersection of the arcs by a straight line through P. This is the bisector of line BA through point P.
