Answer:
a=2
Step-by-step explanation:
8a +9=3a +19
Subtract 9 from both sides
-9= -9
8a=3a +10
Subtract -3a from both sides
5a=10
5a=10
5a divided by both sides
5/5
10/5=2
a=2
Perpendicular bisectors have a particular property: if AB is a perpendicular bisector of CD, then every point lying on AB has the same distance from C and D.
In your case, we have that every point lying on AC has the same distance from B and D.
So, in particular, we have EB=ED, because E lies on AC.
Moreover, since AC is a perpendicular bisector, it is the height of the triangle (if we choose BD as base), and it bisects BD: this means that the triangle is isosceles, so AD=AB.
This means that triangles ABE and ADE have:
- AD=AB because ABD is isosceles
- EB=ED because AC is the perpendicular bisector of BD
- AE in common
So, their sides are all equal, and thus they are congruent.
Answer:
tons.
300 times.
Step-by-step explanation:
Last year, the world produced 3.5 billion tons of cement and that amount could increase by a billion tons by the year 2050.
So, the net production of cement by the year 2050 will be (3.5 + 1) = 4.5 billion tons i.e.
tons. (Answer)
Now, this amount is larger than
by
times. (Answer)
