If CE = 101 and AE = 99, what is the correct equation to find AC?(1 point)
Responses

992+1012=x2
99 squared plus 101 squared is equal to x squared

99+x = 101
99+x = 101

99+101=x
99 plus 101 is equal to x

992+x2 = 1012
992+x2 = 1012

To address your questions, let's go step-by-step.

For Question 1, since the graphical representation is not provided, I'll guide you on how to label the parts of a triangle based on common notation:

  • Typically, points are labeled with capital letters (e.g., A, B, C).
  • Sides opposite to each vertex are usually labeled with lowercase letters that correspond to the opposite vertex (e.g., side opposite point A is labeled as a, the side opposite point B as b, and the side opposite point C as c).
  • The segments connecting the points are often noted as segments (for example, AB, AC, and BC).

Now, for Question 2, to find AC given that CE = 101 and AE = 99, it appears you are possibly dealing with a right triangle where E is the right angle. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the correct equation to find AC would be:

\[ AE^2 + CE^2 = AC^2 \]

This translates to the equation:

\[ 99^2 + 101^2 = AC^2 \]

So the best option from your responses is:

  • \( 99^2 + 101^2 = x^2 \)

Where \( x \) represents AC.

For Question 3, we compute AC using the values provided:

  1. Calculate \( 99^2 \) and \( 101^2 \):

    • \( 99^2 = 9801 \)
    • \( 101^2 = 10201 \)
  2. Add these two values together:

    • \( 9801 + 10201 = 20002 \)
  3. Take the square root to solve for AC:

    • \( AC = \sqrt{20002} \)

Calculating this numerically:

  • \( AC \approx 141.42 \) (This is a rough approximation; you can use a calculator for more precision.)

Thus, you would conclude with:

  • AC ≈ 141.42 (answer for Question 3).
