Answer:
The diagram displaying triangle ABC and the relevant statement along with the answer options is attached.
According to this, the answer is: The length of DC is 28.
Explanation:
From the diagram and the data that segment AB equals segment AC, you comprehend that angles B and C of the isosceles triangle ABC are congruent.
Triangles BED and CFD possess two sets of congruent angles (angle B is congruent to angle D, and angles BED and DFC are congruent), indicating that triangles BED and CFD are similar.
This similarity leads to the proportional relationship:
Given that the ratio of DE to DF is 5:7, we have:
Also, it is stated that segment BC is 48.
From the figure:
This results in two equations:
Now, we define DC = x, which implies DB = 48 - x, leading to the equation:
Solve this:
- 5x = 7 (48 - x)... [multiplication property: multiply by x and 7]
- 5x = 336 - 7x... [distributive property]
- 12x = 336... [addition property: add 7x to both sides]
- x = 336 / 12... [division property: divide by 12]
- x = 28... [simplification]
Therefore, the length of segment x = DC = 28.
Answer:
CrO₃.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we will find the chromium percentage in the oxide by using the following process:
Oxygen (O) = 48%
Chromium (Cr) =?
The oxide consists solely of chromium and oxygen, and its chromium percentage is calculated as:
Cr = 100 – percentage of oxygen
Cr = 100 – 48
Cr = 52%
Next, we will determine the empirical formula for the oxide:
Chromium (Cr) = 52%
Oxygen (O) = 48%
Now, we divide by their molar mass:
Cr = 52/52 = 1
O = 48/16 = 3
Now, divide by the lowest value:
Cr = 1/1 = 1
O = 3/1 = 3
Thus, the empirical formula for the oxide is CrO₃.
You may either multiply the numbers or the place value, and both methods will yield the same answer.
