What is the length of line segment BC

BC = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Frm the diagram

AB + BC = AC , substitute values

x + 16 + x + 6 = 12

2x + 22 = 12 ( subtract 22 from both sides )

2x = - 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 5

Thus

BC = x + 6 = - 5 + 6 = 1

BC = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = x + 16

BC = x +6

AB + BC = AC

x + 16 +x + 6 = 12

x + x + 16 + 6 = 12

        2x + 22 = 12

              2x = 12 - 22

             2x = -10

               x = -10/5

x = - 5

BC = x + 6 = - 5 + 6 = 1

No

Step-by-step explanation:

cosx = siny only if x = y = 45°

Otherwise

cosx° = sin(90 - x)°
