Answer:

   8 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides on one side of the angle bisector are proportional to those on the other side. In the attached figure, that means

  AC/AB = CD/BD = 2/3

The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths, so is ...

  25 = AB + BC + AC

  25 = AB + 5 + (2/3)AB . . . . . . substituting AC = 2/3·AB. BC = 2+3 = 5.

  20 = 5/3·AB

  12 = AB

  AC = 2/3·12 = 8

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The sum of ratio units is 2+3 = 5, so each one must stand for 25/5 = 5 units of length.

That is, the total of lengths on one side of the angle bisector (AC+CD) is 2·5 = 10 units, and the total of lengths on the other side (AB+BD) is 3·5 = 15 units. Since 2 of the 10 units are in the segment being divided (CD), the other 8 must be in that side of the triangle (AC).

Likewise, 3 of the 15 units are in the segment being divided (BD), so the other 12 units are in that side of the triangle (AB).

The remaining sides of the triangle are AB=12 and AC=8.

Answer:

C) f(x) increases by 900%

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is

f(4) - f(3)

---------------

4-3

f(4) = 9*4 = 36

f(3) = 9*3 = 27

36 -27

---------------

4-3

9

-----

1

The rate of change is 9

To change to a percent, multiply by 100%

9*100% = 900%

If Gabby wants to buy a t-shirt for $35.99 but she has a discount for 10% off, how much is her final cost?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

It's $32.39.

Step-by-step explanation:

35.99 - 35.99*10% =

=35.99 - 35.99*0.1

=35.99 - 3.599

=32.391

32.391 is close to 32.39 so we will round it to that number.

The answer is $32.39.
