Answer:

The slope of midsegment which is parallel to AC is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slopes of parallel lines are same. It is given that the midsegment is parallel to AC, therefore the slope of AC and slope of midsegment is equal.

The slope of a line is

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the given figure it is noticed that A(3,7) and C(5,-1).

Slope of AC is

$m=\frac{-1-(7)}{5-(3)} =\frac{-8}{2}=-4$

Since the midsegment is parallel to AC, therefore their slopes are equal.

$\text{Slope of midsegment}=-4$

Therefore the slope of midsegment which is parallel to AC is -4.

What percent is 608 million of 845 million

wlad13 [49]

Hello,

To find the percentage, simply divide the smaller number to the larger number. In this situation, we divide 608 million by 845 million, which will get you:
0.719526627219. At this point, move the decimal place 2 places to the right to get the percent form of the decimal. Let's also round this decimal up.

After you move the decimal place, it's now 71.9526627219, and if we round it to the nearest 10th, it would be 71.95%.

In conclusion, the percent is 71.95%.

Hope this helps!

What you need to know for this case is that the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is 180 °
We then have the following equation that is given by:
(2x) + (3x) + (4x) = 180
Clearing x we have:
9x = 180
x = 180/9
x = 20
Therefore we have:
m∠A = (40) °
m∠B = (60) °
m∠C = (80) °
Answer:
B) m∠B = 60 °
