The figure below shows a triangular wooden frame ABC. The side AD of the frame has rotted and needs to be replaced: Triangle ABC has length of BC equal to 14 inches. A line segment DC joins the point D on AB with point C. Measure of angle ABC is 90 degrees, ACD is 15 degrees, and measure of angle DCB is 30 degrees.

What is the length of the wood that is needed to replace AD?

8.1 inches
6.2 inches
5.9 inches
7.4 inches

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

    = -12/-4

  = 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4

one way is to plot 2 points and connect them which is what the answer choices seem to be doing

it seems to be using the y intercept and the slope

y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

slope=rise/run

y-intercept is where the line croses the y axis which is the y value where x=0

you seem to have given the wrong slope (you didn't put a number in front of te x, it should be 2/3 or 3/2 looking at the answer options)

y=? x-1

m=? because of your fault

b=-1

so it has a slope of ? and y intercept of -1, meaning it pases through (0,-1)

so draw point (0,-1) (so answer is one of the first 2 option)

if slope is 2/3, then go up 2 and right 3 then draw line through those 2 points

if slope is 3/2, then go up 3 and right 2 then draw line through those 2 points

m∠abd = m∠dbc

step-by-step explanation:

given : ab bisects ∠dbc

as we know that bisection means ab divides   ∠dbc   in two equal angles named as   ∠dba and   ∠abc

so, m∠abd = m∠dbc  

because ab bisects ∠dbc.

hence , the first statement m∠abd = m∠dbc is true.
