Show that sum of any two medians of a triangle is greater than the third median.

1 answer:

4 0

consider the length of the medians as "a" 
so a+a=2a 
third median =a 
since 2a is greater than a 
sum of two medians of a triangle is greater than the third

The function f(x)=-(x-3)^2 +9 can be used to represent the area of a rectangle with the perimeter of 12 units, as a function of

Ivenika [448]

Maximum area of the rectangle is $9cm^{2}$

Explanation:

Considering the dimensions to be in cm

$f(x) = -(x-3)^{2} +9\\f(x) = -(x^{2} +9 - 6x)+9\\f(x) = -x^{2} +6x\\f'(x) = -2x+6\\-2x+6 = 0\\2x=6\\x=3cm\\\\$

Putting the value of x = 3

$Perimeter = 2(x+b)\\12 = 2(3+b)\\6 = 3+b\\b= 3cm$

$Area of rectangle = x X b\\ = 3 X 3\\ = 9cm^{2}$

Therefore, maximum area of the rectangle is $9cm^{2}$

1 orange is .25 for 1/2 kilogram. how much for 8 oranges?

prisoha [69]

The 1/2 kilogram is unimportant information in this question. 1/.25 = 8/x. We need to solve for x. Cross multiply to get x = 2. 2$

Proportion A
The first thing you should know in this case is what the rate of change means.
The rate of change in a linear equation is given by the slope of the line.
For a linear equation, the rate of change is constant.
So we have to:
y = 9x
The slope is:
m = 9
Proportion B
The slope of the line will be:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
Substituting values:
m = (57.5-34.5) / (5-3)
m = 11.5
Answer:
The rate of change in proportion A is 2.5 less than in proportion B.
