John runs a computer software store. Yesterday he counted 127 people who walked by his store, 58 of whom came into the store. Of

the 58, only 25 bought something in the store. Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something (put your answer as a fraction).

If A(4 -6) B(3 -2) and C (5 2) are the vertices of a triangle ABC fine the length of the median AD from A to BC. Also verify tha

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

a) The median AD from A to BC has a length of 6.

b) Areas of triangles ABD and ACD are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A median is a line that begin in a vertix and end at a midpoint of a side opposite to vertix. As first step the location of the point is determined:

$D (x,y) = \left(\frac{x_{B}+x_{C}}{2},\frac{y_{B}+y_{C}}{2} \right)$

$D(x,y) = \left(\frac{3 + 5}{2},\frac{-2 + 2}{2} \right)$

$D(x,y) = (4,0)$

The length of the median AD is calculated by the Pythagorean Theorem:

$AD = \sqrt{(x_{D}-x_{A})^{2}+ (y_{D}-y_{A})^{2}}$

$AD = \sqrt{(4-4)^{2}+[0-(-6)]^{2}}$

$AD = 6$

The median AD from A to BC has a length of 6.

b) In order to compare both areas, all lengths must be found with the help of Pythagorean Theorem:

$AB = \sqrt{(x_{B}-x_{A})^{2}+ (y_{B}-y_{A})^{2}}$

$AB = \sqrt{(3-4)^{2}+[-2-(-6)]^{2}}$

$AB \approx 4.123$

$AC = \sqrt{(x_{C}-x_{A})^{2}+ (y_{C}-y_{A})^{2}}$

$AC = \sqrt{(5-4)^{2}+[2-(-6)]^{2}}$

$AC \approx 4.123$

$BC = \sqrt{(x_{C}-x_{B})^{2}+ (y_{C}-y_{B})^{2}}$

$BC = \sqrt{(5-3)^{2}+[2-(-2)]^{2}}$

$BC \approx 4.472$

$BD = CD = \frac{1}{2}\cdot BC$ (by the definition of median)

$BD = CD = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (4.472)$

$BD = CD = 2.236$

$AD = 6$

The area of any triangle can be calculated in terms of their side length. Now, equations to determine the areas of triangles ABD and ACD are described below:

$A_{ABD} = \sqrt{s_{ABD}\cdot (s_{ABD}-AB)\cdot (s_{ABD}-BD)\cdot (s_{ABD}-AD)}$ , where $s_{ABD} = \frac{AB+BD+AD}{2}$

$A_{ACD} = \sqrt{s_{ACD}\cdot (s_{ACD}-AC)\cdot (s_{ACD}-CD)\cdot (s_{ACD}-AD)}$ , where $s_{ACD} = \frac{AC+CD+AD}{2}$

Finally,

$s_{ABD} = \frac{4.123+2.236+6}{2}$

$s_{ABD} = 6.180$

$A_{ABD} = \sqrt{(6.180)\cdot (6.180-4.123)\cdot (6.180-2.236)\cdot (6.180-6)}$

$A_{ABD} \approx 3.004$

$s_{ACD} = \frac{4.123+2.236+6}{2}$

$s_{ACD} = 6.180$

$A_{ACD} = \sqrt{(6.180)\cdot (6.180-4.123)\cdot (6.180-2.236)\cdot (6.180-6)}$

$A_{ACD} \approx 3.004$

Therefore, areas of triangles ABD and ACD are the same.

How to solve 10x+36-38x-47

Natasha2012 [34]

You probably just need to simplify the expression. To do this you just combine like terms. So you would subtract 38 from the 10 to get -28x and then subtract 47 from 36 which gives you -11. Your expression should be -28x-11.<span />
