Answer:
The longer length is either 99, 33 or 11 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
The length of the longer side
Area of a rectangle is:
List out all possible products that give 99 [Assume the dimension are whole numbers]
List out the longer factors
<em>Hence, the longer length is either 99, 33 or 11 inches</em>
Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
In ΔABC, m∠B = m∠C.
BH is angle B bisector, then by definition of angle bisector
∠CBH ≅ ∠HBK
m∠CBH = m∠HBK = 1/2m∠B
CK is angle C bisector, then by definition of angle bisector
∠BCK ≅ ∠KCH
m∠BCK = m∠KCH = 1/2m∠C
Since m∠B = m∠C, then
m∠CBH = m∠HBK = 1/2m∠B = 1/2m∠C = m∠BCK = m∠KCH (*)
Consider triangles CBH and BCK. In these triangles,
- ∠CBH ≅ ∠BCK (from equality (*));
- ∠HCB ≅ ∠KBC, because m∠B = m∠C;
- BC ≅CB by reflexive property.
So, triangles CBH and BCK are congruent by ASA postulate.
Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding sides, hence
BH ≅ CK.
