Let x=ab=ac, and y=bc, and z=ad.
Since the perimeter of the triangle abc is 36, you have:
Perimeter of abc = 36
ab + ac + bc = 36
x + x + y = 36
(eq. 1) 2x + y = 36
The triangle is isosceles (it has two sides with equal length: ab and ac). The line perpendicular to the third side (bc) from the opposite vertex (a), divides that third side into two equal halves: the point d is the middle point of bc. This is a property of isosceles triangles, which is easily shown by similarity.
Hence, we have that bd = dc = bc/2 = y/2 (remember we called bc = y).
The perimeter of the triangle abd is 30:
Permiter of abd = 30
ab + bd + ad = 30
x + y/2 + z =30
(eq. 2) 2x + y + 2z = 60
So, we have two equations on x, y and z:
(eq.1) 2x + y = 36
(eq.2) 2x + y + 2z = 60
Substitute 2x + y by 36 from (eq.1) in (eq.2):
(eq.2') 36 + 2z = 60
And solve for z:
36 + 2z = 60 => 2z = 60 - 36 => 2z = 24 => z = 12
The measure of ad is 12.
If you prefer a less algebraic reasoning:
- The perimeter of abd is half the perimeter of abc plus the length of ad (since you have "cut" the triangle abc in two halves to obtain the triangle abd).
- Then, ad is the difference between the perimeter of abd and half the perimeter of abc:
ad = 30 - (36/2) = 30 - 18 = 12
The area of the parallelogram is 40 centimeters
Answer:
4x² + 12 = 7x
4x² + 12 - 7x = 0

Hello!
The objective of this experiment is to test if a new feed + additive generates a better production of milk in cows. For this, the owner selects 13 cows and randomly separates them into two groups.
Group 1 has 8 cows that receive the new feed + additive.
Group 2 has 5 cows that were fed with the old feed.
After two weeks of feeding the animals with the different feeds, the production of milk of each group was recorded so that they can be compared.
Since you have two separate groups to wich at random two different treatments were applied and later the variable was measured, these two samples/groups are independent and the proper test to compare the population means of the milk production in both groups is a pooled t.
I hope this helps!
Put the first equation in slope-intercept form, or y = mx + b. Start by subtracting y from both sides.
2x - y = -10, subtract 2x from both sides.
-y = -10 - 2x
Divide both sides by negative one.
y = 10 + 2x
To find the slope when the equations are in slope-intercept form you look at the coefficient of x. The first equation has the slope of 2 (which we just found), and the second equation has the slope of -2.
Parallel lines have the same slope and perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes. Since 2 and -2 are neither of these, your answer is neither.
