Answer:

The reciprocals of a number is sometimes called the Multiplicative Inverse of the number. The product of a negative number and its reciprocal equals 1. If the number is negative then the reciprocal must also be negative to produce a product of +1. The reciprocal of -4 is -1/4.

Altitudes AA1 and BB1 are drawn in acute △ABC. Prove that A1C·BC=B1C·AC
Sophie [7]

Answer:

See the attached figure which represents the problem.

As shown, AA₁ and BB₁ are the altitudes in acute △ABC.

△AA₁C is a right triangle at A₁

So, Cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse = A₁C/AC ⇒(1)

△BB₁C is a right triangle at B₁

So, Cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse = B₁C/BC ⇒(2)

From (1) and  (2)

∴  A₁C/AC = B₁C/BC

using scissors method

∴ A₁C · BC = B₁C · AC

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 500 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Wednesday. There were 50 fewer cheeseburgers
Virty [35]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call the hamburgers h and the cheeseburgers c.

h+c=500

c=h-50

Let's plug this value for c into the first equation to solve for h.

h+h-50=500

2h-50=500

Add 50 to both sides.

2h=550

Divide both sides by 2.

h=275

Therefore, 275 hamburgers were sold on Wednesday.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Declan draws triangle WXY. He then constructs a perpendicular bisector from vertex W that intersects side XY at point Z. What ca
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

YZ = XZ

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular Bisector:

A perpendicular bisector of a line segment 'l' is a line that is perpendicular to the line segment 'l' and cuts the line segment 'l' into two equal parts.

Given:

1. A triangle WXY.

2. A perpendicular bisector from vertex W that intersects XY at point Z.

Conclusion based on the drawing:

a. Z is the midpoint of the line segment XY because point Z lies on the perpendicular bisector of XY.

b. Hence, XZ = YZ.
