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.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Paul needs to invest $10000 at 6% interest and $30000 at 10% interest to make a total of 9% return on his $40000.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Suppose, the amount of money at 6% interest is x

As Paul has total $40000 to invest, so the amount of money at 10% interest will be: (40000-x) dollar

His intent is to earn 9% interest on his $40000 investment. So, the equation will be......

0.06x+0.10(40000-x)=0.09*40000\\ \\ 0.06x+4000-0.10x=3600\\ \\ -0.04x=3600-4000=-400\\ \\ x=\frac{-400}{-0.04}=10000

So, Paul needs to invest <u>$10000 at 6% interest</u> and ($40000- $10000) or <u>$30000 at 10% interest </u>to make a total of 9% return on his $40000.

Answer:

Tom started out with 57 games but sold 37 of them.

=> Now, Tom has: 57 - 37 =20 games

He put the rest in boxes with 5 games in each.

=> The number of boxes: 20/5 = 4 box

Hope this helps!
