In triangle ABC, AD is a median. FE is a straight line parallel to BC cutting the remaining sides AB at F and AC at E and cuttin
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since AD is a median it implies that triangle ABC is bisected to two equal right angled triangle which are ADB and ADC.

FE is parrallel to BC and cuts AB at F and AC at E shows that there are two similar triangles formed which are AFE and ABC.

Recall that ADC is a right angled triangle, ED bisects a right angled triangle the the ADE = 45^{o}.

Now, Let FD bisect angle ADB,

  then ADF = 45^{o} too.

Since AFX is similar to Triangle ABD and that Triangle AEX is similar to Triangle ACD, then EDX is similar to FDX

FDE = ADF + ADE = 90^{o}

Solve for the indicated variable in each scientific formula. c=wtc/1000 for w
Hitman42 [59]
First, multiply both sides by 1000
1000*c = w*t*c

Since c is on both sides, they would cancel each other out
1000 = w*t

Divide both sides by t.
w = 1000*t
