1. **Problem 1: Length of segment BC** Given: Points B and C lie on segment AD. Segment AD = $32$ units, AC = $23$ units, BD = $27$ units. Find: Length of BC. 2. **Understanding the problem:** Since B and C lie on AD, and AD is a straight segment, the points are collinear. We know: $$ AD = AB + BC + CD $$ But we only have AC and BD, so we need to find BC using these. 3. **Express segments in terms of points:** - $AC = AB + BC = 23$ - $BD = BC + CD = 27$ - $AD = AB + BC + CD = 32$ 4. **Set variables:** Let $AB = a$, $BC = b$, $CD = c$. From above: $$ a + b = 23 $$ $$ b + c = 27 $$ $$ a + b + c = 32 $$ 5. **Use the equations:** From the third equation: $$ a + b + c = 32 $$ Substitute $a = 23 - b$ and $c = 27 - b$: $$ (23 - b) + b + (27 - b) = 32 $$ Simplify: $$ 23 - b + b + 27 - b = 32 $$ $$ 50 - b = 32 $$ 6. **Solve for $b$:** $$ 50 - b = 32 $$ $$ b = 50 - 32 = 18 $$ 7. **Answer:** Length of segment BC is $18$ units. --- 8. **Problem 2: Point in the third quadrant with coordinates (2, -5)** Recall: Third quadrant points have both $x < 0$ and $y < 0$. Given point is $(2, -5)$ where $x=2 > 0$, so it is not in the third quadrant. 9. **Answer:** None of the points with coordinates $(2, -5)$ lie in the third quadrant. So the answer is **E. E** (assuming E means none or no correct point). --- 10. **Problem 3: Intersection of a non-parallel plane A and line B (contained in plane C)** - A plane and a line intersect in either a point, line, or no intersection. - Since line B lies in plane C, and plane A is non-parallel to plane C, their intersection is a line. - The intersection of plane A and line B is a point (since line B is contained in plane C, and plane A intersects plane C in a line, the intersection with line B is a point). 11. **Answer:** The intersection is a **point**. --- 12. **Problem 4: Find coordinates of B given midpoint and A** Given midpoint $M = (3, 2)$ and point $A = (0, -7)$. Midpoint formula: $$ M = \left( \frac{x_A + x_B}{2}, \frac{y_A + y_B}{2} \right) $$ 13. **Set up equations:** $$ 3 = \frac{0 + x_B}{2} \Rightarrow x_B = 6 $$ $$ 2 = \frac{-7 + y_B}{2} \Rightarrow -7 + y_B = 4 \Rightarrow y_B = 11 $$ 14. **Answer:** Coordinates of B are $(6, 11)$, but this is not among the options. Check options again; none match $(6, 11)$. Since none match, possibly a typo or error in options. --- 15. **Problem 5: Measure of angle TRU** Given: $$ \angle SRQ = (x + 15)^\circ $$ $$ \angle SRU = 90^\circ $$ Assuming $\angle TRU$ is complementary or related to these angles, but no further info is given. Cannot determine $\angle TRU$ without more data. --- 16. **Problem 6: Midpoint of XY** Given points: $$ X = (-4, 0), Y = (0, -8) $$ Midpoint formula: $$ M = \left( \frac{-4 + 0}{2}, \frac{0 + (-8)}{2} \right) = (-2, -4) $$ 17. **Answer:** Midpoint is $(-2, -4)$ which corresponds to option B. --- **Final answers:** - Problem 1: BC = $18$ units (B) - Problem 2: No point with (2, -5) in third quadrant (E) - Problem 3: Intersection is a point (C) - Problem 4: Coordinates of B = $(6, 11)$ (not listed) - Problem 5: Cannot determine $\angle TRU$ - Problem 6: Midpoint of XY = $(-2, -4)$ (B)
