It is given that the length of triangle base is 26, then let ABC be the triangle and BC be the base of the triangle=26.Let DE be the parallel line to the base that divides triangle ABC into two equal area parts.

Now, Let AD=a, DB=b, DE=c, AE=d and EC=e, then

Since, triangle ABC is similar to triangle ADE, thus using basic proportions, we get

$\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AE}{AC}$

$\frac{AD}{AD+DB}=\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AE}{AE+EC}$

$\frac{a}{a+b}=\frac{c}{26}=\frac{d}{d+e}$

Taking the first two equalities,we get

$\frac{a}{a+b}=\frac{c}{26}$

$c=\frac{26a}{a+b}$

Thus, the length of the segment between triangle legs is $\frac{26a}{a+b}$

What does a decimal between two fractions mean

Anni [7]

Answer:

Multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

I think what you're talking about is not a decimal, but a multiplication point:

$\frac{1}{2} \: . \: \frac{3}{4}$

This dot can donate multiplication when in the middle of two numbers and/or fractions.

But if you're talking about some other point, then I don't know, sorry. :(
