Question : In the given figure , ∆ APB and ∆ AQC are equilateral triangles. Prove that PC = BQ.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that ΔAPB and ΔAQC are equilateral triangles.

And we want to prove that PC = BQ.

Since ΔAPB and ΔAQC are equilateral triangles, this means that:

$PA\cong AB\cong BP\text{ and } QA\cong AC\cong CQ$

Likewise:

$\angle P\cong \angle PAB\cong \angle ABP\cong Q\cong \angle QAC\cong\angle ACQ$

Since they all measure 60°.

Note that ∠PAC is the addition of the angles ∠PAB and ∠BAC. So:

$m\angle PAC=m\angle PAB+m\angle BAC$

Likewise:

$m\angle QAB=m\angle QAC+m\angle BAC$

Since ∠QAC ≅ ∠PAB:

$m\angle PAC=m\angle QAC+m\angle BAC$

And by substitution:

$m\angle PAC=m\angle QAB$

Thus:

$\angle PAC\cong \angle QAB$

Then by SAS Congruence:

$\Delta PAC\cong \Delta BAQ$

And by CPCTC:

$PC\cong BQ$

Molly invested $50,000 in various stocks

fgiga [73]

Answer:

$10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the amount invested in bonds. Then 50,000 - b wil be the amount invested in stocks. Molly's total return is ...

0.15b + 0.18(50000-b) = 8700

-0.03b +9000 = 8700 . . . . simplify

300 = 0.03b . . . . . . . . . . . . add .03b-8700

10,000 = b . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.03

Molly invested $10,000 in bonds.
