Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the length of triangle base is 26, then let ABC  be the triangle and BC be the base of the triangle=26.Let DE be the parallel line to the base that divides triangle ABC into two equal area parts.

Now, Let AD=a, DB=b, DE=c, AE=d and EC=e, then

Since,  triangle ABC is similar to triangle ADE, thus using basic proportions, we get

\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AE}{AC}

\frac{AD}{AD+DB}=\frac{DE}{BC}=\frac{AE}{AE+EC}

\frac{a}{a+b}=\frac{c}{26}=\frac{d}{d+e}

Taking the first two equalities,we get

\frac{a}{a+b}=\frac{c}{26}

c=\frac{26a}{a+b}

Thus, the length of the segment between triangle legs is \frac{26a}{a+b}

The robber stole 280 dollars' worth of one-dollar bills. He also stole some 100-dollar bills, 50-dollar bills, and 20-dollar bil
salantis [7]
E, because he is stealing everything, meaning he has a net profit. So, you would add everything. Since he 280 $1 bills, he just stole $280 which is a definite quantity, so we don't need a variable for it. Since everything else are indefinite quantities, we need variables (x, y, z). But, yeah, E should be the answer.

Answer:

You would click at (0,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of the minimum point:

"The minimum value of a function is the place where the graph has a vertex at its lowest point. In the real world, you can use the minimum value of a quadratic function to determine minimum cost or area."

Although this is not a quadratic, it still has a minimum point.

The minimum point here would be at it's lowest point

The minimum/lowest point is (0,-7)
