PLZ HELP ME I MEANT FOR THIS If ΔABC is dilated from point A by a scale factor of one half which of the following equations is true about segment D prime E prime?

Triangle ABC is shown with point D lying on side BC and point E lying on side AC. Line DE is perpendicular to side AC.

segment D prime E prime = one half segment DE
segment D prime E prime = two segment DE
segment D prime E prime = segment DE
segment D prime E prime = three segment DE

d. 8

step-by-step explanation:

the given radical expression is:

we can rewrite this as:

we express as square numbers to get;

the exponents will now cancel out to give.

the correct answer is d

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 16) + (x) = 180

step-by-step explanation:

given,

abcd is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

angle a is labeled x plus 16, (x + 16)

angle b is labeled x degrees, (x)

angle c is labeled 6x minus 4, (6x – 4)

angle d is labeled 2x plus 16, (2x + 16)

what equation can be used to solve for angle b?

we know that the sum of the opposite angles of a simple quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180 degrees.

angle b is opposite angle d

therefore, angle b + angle d = 180

(x) + (2x + 16) = 180 

same as (2x + 16) + (x) = 180
