B
because the angles are supplementary meaning they add up to 180
No that's as low as it goes
Yes it would because you would divide 3.5 from both sides
Short Answer: 1.5
Givens
OA = 12
OB = 9
O does not lie on AB
Argument
The order that these lines must be in is OBA. O is on your left, B is in the middle and A is on your right.
Mark your distances as follows.
OB = 9
BA = 3
Mark the midpoint of OA = M1
Mark the midpoint of OB = M2
M1 = 12 / 2 = 6 so M1 is 6 units from O
M2 = 9/2 = 4.5
The distance between the two midpoints is 6 - 4.5 = 1.5
Answer M1 - M2 = 1.5 <<<<
Nice problem: Thanks for posting.
The Amazon rainforest is gradually being destroyed by pollution and agricultural and industrial development. For simplicity, suppose that each year, 10% of the remaining forest is destroyed. Assume, also for simplicity, that the present area of the Amazon rainforest is 1,200,000 square miles.
1.a) What will the area of the forest be after 1 year of this destruction process?
1.b) What will the area of the forest be after 2 years of this destruction process?
2) Make a graph showing your results from Question 1 and continuing through 5 years of the destruction process. Include the present situation as a point on your graph.
3) Find a rule for how much rain forest will remain after X years. That is, express the area of the rain forest as a function of X.
