We know that
Perimeter=2AB+2AD=34 in-----> AB+AD=17-----> AB=17-AD-----> equation 1

MA=MD
MA²=AB²+(AD/2)²
for the triangle AMD
AD²=[MA²+MD²]----> AD²=2*[MA²]----> AD²=2*[AB²+(AD/2)²]---> equation 2

I substitute 1 in 2

AD²=2*[(17-AD)²+(AD/2)²]----> AD²=2*[289-34AD+AD²+0.25AD²]

AD²=578-68AD+2.50AD²--------> 1.50AD²-68AD+578

1.50AD²-68AD+578=0

 using a graph tool to solve the quadratic equation

see the attached figure

AD1=11.33 in

AD2=34 in----------is not solution because (AB+AD=17)

Solution is AD=11.33 in

AB=17-11.33--------> 17-11.33-----> AB=5.67 in

 the answer is

AD=11.33 in

<span>AB=5.67 in</span>

Are 25 milligrams lighter or heavier than 25 centigrams
masya89 [10]

Answer:

<em>25 mg. is lighter than 25 cg.</em>

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Well,</em>

<em />

<em>The prefix "milli" means thousandth and the prefix "centi" means hundredth.  So a milligram will be one-tenth of a centigram.</em>

<em />

<em>10 mg. = 1 cg.</em>

<em>25 mg. = 2.5 cg.</em>

<em />

<em>2.5 cg. < 25 cg.</em>

<em />

<em>25 mg. is lighter than 25 cg.</em>

Answer:

  B, B

Step-by-step explanation:

A model of 9/12 will have 12 parts, 9 of which are shaded.

A model of 3/4 will have 4 parts (1/3 as many), 3 of which are shaded. Each part of this model will correspond to 3 parts of the 9/12 model. Hence, each part is 3 times the size of a part in the 9/12 model.

  B) 1/3 times as many

  B) 3 times the size
