M is the incenter of triangle ABC. Find the lengths of MD and DC. (Look at pic)
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Part 1) MD=9\ units

Part 2) DC=12\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the length of MD

we know that

The incenter is the intersection of the angle bisectors of the three vertices of the triangle. Is the point forming the origin of a circle inscribed inside the triangle

so

In this problem

MD=ME=MF ------> is the radius of a circle inscribed inside the triangle

we have that

MF=9\ units

therefore

ME=9\ units

MD=9\ units

Step 2

Find the length of DC

we know that

In the right triangle MDC

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

MC^{2} =MD^{2}+DC^{2}

we have

MD=9\ units

MC=15\ units

substitute

15^{2} =9^{2}+DC^{2}

DC^{2}=225-81

DC=\sqrt{144}\ units

DC=12\ units

The students to faculty ratio at a small college is 17:3. The total of total if student and faculty is 740. How many faculty mem
Rom4ik [11]
So, the ration is 17:3, you know that. Therefore, the change from # of students to the 17 is the same change as # teachers to 3. Knowing this, you also know that the total # of people ihas the same change as the total ratio. So 17+3 = 20. 740/20 = 37. So the change is 37. 3x37= 111   17x37=629 
You can check to make sure this answer is correct by adding the two final numbers. 111+629 = 740.  (Some find it easier to see lined up really pretty)
17 -- 3   total 20
 x -- y   total 740 
 Or, if you are visual, look at the picture I drew:
