Ellen has property whose boundary lines form a triangle, as shown in the diagram. Her house lies at Vertex A and she is going to

put a bunkhouse for the ranch hands somewhere along segment BC. She wants the placement to be such that CA/CD=B/A. What must be true about segment AD so that the proportion CA/CD=BA/BD holds

Given that in a ΔABC, Ellen house lies at vertex A and bunkhouse is put somewhere along BC, let it be D.

Please refer the diagram attached.

We are also given that D must be placed such that \frac{CA}{CD}= \frac{BA}{BD} holds true.

Let us re write the above equation such that CD and BD lie on one side.

That is \frac{CA}{BA}= \frac{CD}{BD}

Which is nothing but angle bisector theorem.

Hence AD must bisect the angle A then only the given condition will hold true.

KiRa [710]
We know that the ocean floor has a depth of 247 ft, and we also know that the diver is<span> underwater at depth of 138 ft, so its distance from the ocean floor will be:
</span>247-138=109 ft
<span>
Now, the </span>rock formations rises to a peak 171 to above the ocean floor, so to find <span>how many feet below the top of the rock formations is the diver, we are going to subtract the distance to the driver form the ocean floor from the rock formations height:
</span>171-109=62 ft
<span>
We can conclude that the diver is 62 feet </span><span>below the top of the rock formations.</span>

In ΔMNO, m∠M = 57° and m∠N = 75°. Which list has the sides of ΔMNO in order from shortest to longest?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

B. MN, NO, OM

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: In any triangle, the sides and the angles are related in the following way:

*The largest angle and the longest side are opposite each other

*The medium angle and the mid-sized side are opposite each other

*The smallest angle and the shortest side are opposite each other

In ∆MNO, we are given that

m<M = 57° which is opposite to side NO

m<N = 75° which is opposite to side OM

m<O = 180° - (75° + 57°) (sum of triangle)

m<O = 48° which is opposite to side MN

Therefore, we can write the order of shortest to longest side in relation to their opposite angles as follows:

MN, NO, OM

Find the unknown side of a rectangle solid. V=30 cm3, H=3 cm, W=5 cm
Alex17521 [72]
V = 30cm³
H = 3cm
W = 5cm
L = ?

V = H × W × L

therefore:
3 × 5 × L = 30
15L = 30
L = 30 : 15
<u>L = 2 (cm)</u>
