Answer:

The coordinates of D are (x,0). In triangle BCD the length of base is x. In triangle ABD the length of base is x and the height is y. The expression for the area is \frac{1}{2}xy.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is noticed that the vertices of triangle are A(0,0), B(x,y) and C(2x,0).

Since BD is a perpendicular bisector. Therefore the line BD divides the angle in two equal parts. It is given that triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle , therefore D bisects the segment AC.

So, D is midpoint of AC.

Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )

D=(\frac{0+2x}{2},\frac{0+0}{2})=(x,0)

Therefore the coordinates of D are (x,0).

From the given figure it is notices that the base of the triangle is 2x and the height of the triangle is y. Area of triangle ABC is

ABC=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height

ABC=\frac{1}{2}\times (2x)\times y

ABC=xy

Therefore area of triangle ABC is xy.

From the figure it is noticed that the point D is midpoint therefore the measure of AD and DC is x.

In triangle ABD, the height of the triangle is yand the base of the triangle is x. So area of triangle ABD is

ABD=\frac{1}{2}\times (x)\times y

ABD=\frac{1}{2}xy

In triangle BCD, the height of the triangle is yand the base of the triangle is x. So area of triangle BCD is

BCD=\frac{1}{2}\times (x)\times y

BCD=\frac{1}{2}xy

Therefore the area of both triangles are \frac{1}{2}xy.

Hence proved that the perpendicular bisector of an isosceles triangle base divides it into two triangles of equal area.

Does 5, square root of 15, 5 make a right triangle?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because square root of 15 is between 3 and 4, which are not greater than 5. To make a right triangle you could used two 5 for side a and b BUT the longer side of the triangle has to be Greater than a and b

Using the Fundamental Counting Theorem, the sample size of these outcomes is of 12.

<h3>What is the Fundamental Counting Theorem?</h3>

It is a theorem that states that if there are n things, each with n_1, n_2, \cdots, n_n ways to be done, each thing independent of the other, the number of ways they can be done is:

N = n_1 \times n_2 \times \cdots \times n_n

Considering the number of options for Entree, Side and Drink, the parameters are:

n1 = 3, n2 = 2, n3 = 2.

Hence the sample size of outcomes is:

N = 3 x 2 x 2 = 12.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

G

Step-by-step explanation:

I say G because when you look at the bar, the maximum is 100% and G is 20 in total. Therefore, the maximums are the same types and both can be divided by 10.
