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.

Solve the quadratic equation by factoring. 9x^2-16=0
Harman [31]

Answer:

x= +- 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x+4)(3x-4)=0

make each equation set to 0 and solve

3x+4=0

subtract 4 from both sides

3x=-4

divide both sides by 3

x=-4/3

3x-4=0

add 4 to both sides

3x=4

divide both sides by 3

x=4/3

there are 32 ounces of water in a glass.Someone drinks 40% of the water how many ounces of water is left?
kherson [118]

If they drank 40%, then there are (100 - 40) = 60% still in the glass.

60% of 32 ounces  =  0.6 x 32 = 19.2 ounces .
