Please help me find BD

9514 1404 393

  14 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector divides the sides proportionally, so you have ...

  (x+4)/8 = (2x+1)/12

  3(x +4) = 2(2x +1) . . . . . . multiply by 24

  3x +12 = 4x +2 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  10 = x . . . . . . . . . . . subtract (3x+2)

Then BD = x+4 = 10 +4.

The length of BD is 14 units.

Additional comment

The "triangle" cannot exist, as the side lengths are shown as 8, 12, and 35. The long side is too long. Nice math; bad geometry.

the number of possible outcomes that do not show a 1 on the first spinner and show the number 4 on the second spinner is 2.

spinner 1 spinner 2

1                     1

1                     2

1                     3

1                     4

2                   1

2                   2

2                   3

2                   4   = not 1, and 4

3                   1

3                   2

3                   3

3                   4 = not 1, and 4

only 2 outcomes have passed the given condition.

3/6 chance

step-by-step explanation:

half of the nubers are odd numbers (1,3,5) which in that case if you would be told to simplify it would be 1/2
