Suppose you cut a square into two identical triangles what type of triangles will you make

Mathematics

Basile [38]3 years ago

Answer:

Right angled isosceles triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

To cut a square into identical triangle one  need   to draw a diagonal for the square.

Suppose ABCD is the square then AC is one diagonal.

The two triangles will be

ABC and ADC

ABC has sides AB , BC and AC

ADC has sides AD, DC, AC

Since ABCD is a square its sides AB, BC , CD , DA are equal hence

for triangle ABC and ADC

side AB , BC and AD, DC will be equal

also AC is common side hence third side of both triangle is also equal .

Hence  ABC and ADC are identical triangle.

___________________________________________

for  triangle ABC

two sides are same in length and third is different

for triangle ABC,  AB =  BC but AC is not equal to AB and AC

and angle ABC is right angled as it angle of square

As two sides are equal and one angle is right angled  

hence triangle ABC is right angled isosceles triangle

_______________________________________

for  triangle ADC

two sides are same in length and third is different

for triangle ADC,  AD= DC  but AC is not equal to AD and DC

and angle ADC is right angled as it angle of square

As two sides are equal and one angle is right angled

therefore triangle ADC is right angled isosceles triangle

_________________________________________________

To understand the solution we need to draw square ABCD and diagonal AC to have better visual understanding of solution.

Vlad1618 [11]
<span>There are several ways to do this problem. One of them is to realize that there's only 14 possible calendars for any year (a year may start on any of 7 days, and a year may be either a leap year, or a non-leap year. So 7*2 = 14 possible calendars for any year). And since there's only 14 different possibilities, it's quite easy to perform an exhaustive search to prove that any year has between 1 and 3 Friday the 13ths. Let's first deal with non-leap years. Initially, I'll determine what day of the week the 13th falls for each month for a year that starts on Sunday. Jan - Friday Feb - Monday Mar - Monday Apr - Thursday May - Saturday Jun - Tuesday Jul - Thursday Aug - Sunday Sep - Wednesday Oct - Friday Nov - Monday Dec - Wednesday Now let's count how many times for each weekday, the 13th falls there. Sunday - 1 Monday - 3 Tuesday - 1 Wednesday - 2 Thursday - 2 Friday - 2 Saturday - 1 The key thing to notice is that there is that the number of times the 13th falls upon a weekday is always in the range of 1 to 3 days. And if the non-leap year were to start on any other day of the week, the numbers would simply rotate to the next days. The above list is generated for a year where January 1st falls on a Sunday. If instead it were to fall on a Monday, then the value above for Sunday would be the value for Monday. The value above for Monday would be the value for Tuesday, etc. So we've handled all possible non-leap years. Let's do that again for a leap year starting on a Sunday. We get: Jan - Friday Feb - Monday Mar - Tuesday Apr - Friday May - Sunday Jun - Wednesday Jul - Friday Aug - Monday Sep - Thursday Oct - Saturday Nov - Tuesday Dec - Thursday And the weekday totals are: Sunday - 1 Monday - 2 Tuesday - 2 Wednesday - 1 Thursday - 2 Friday - 3 Saturday - 1 And once again, for every weekday, the total is between 1 and 3. And the same argument applies for every leap year. And since we've covered both leap and non-leap years. Then we've demonstrated that for every possible year, Friday the 13th will happen at least once, and no more than 3 times.</span>

You and your mom enter a drawing with 3 different prizes. A total of 9 people entered the drawing, and prizes are awarded random
julsineya [31]

Answer:

\frac{1}{72}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that there are total 9 people who entered the drawing competition. There are 3 prizes to be distributed to the winners. The total number of ways that 3 prizes can be awarded to the 9 people can be determined as 9*8*7 = 504.

The total number of ways in which I win the first prize and my mom wins the second prize would be 1*1*7 = 7.

Therefore, the probability that I win the first prize and my mom wins the second prize would be: \frac{7}{504}=\frac{1}{72}
