Given:
ΔABC ΔDEF
To find:
The length of median CP
Solution:
In ΔABC,
AP = 12, BP = 12 and PC = 3x - 12
In ΔDEF,
DQ = 16, QE = 16 and FQ = 2x + 8
If two triangles are similar, then their median is proportional to the corresponding sides.
Do cross multiplication.
Add 192 on both sides.
Subtract 24x from both sides.
Divide by 24 on both sides.
⇒ 12 = x
Substitute x = 12 in CP.
CP = 3(12) - 12
= 36 - 12
= 24
The length of median CP is 24.
Answer:
therefore the correct options are:
B. the equation is an exponential decay equation.
F. $28000 represents the initial cost of an automobile that depreciates 27% per year over the course of t years.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) the cost of an automobile is given by the equation is
C(t) = , where C(t) represents the cost and t represents the time in years
ii) the above equation is an exponential decay equation. It is a decay equation because growth rate is 0.73 which is less than 1 and greater than zero.
ii) when t = 0 then the cost is C(0) = 28000 represents the initial cost.
iii) from the equation in i) we can understand that the cost depreciates 27% per year over the course of t years.
therefore the correct options are:
B. the equation is an exponential decay equation.
F. $28000 represents the initial cost of an automobile that depreciates 27% per year over the course of t years.
