There is a triangle with a perimeter of 63 cm, one side of which is 21 cm. Also, one of the medians is perpendicular to one of t

he angle bisectors. Then what you've got to do is find the side lengths of the triangle

Answer:

21cm; 28cm; 14cm

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no info in the problem/s  text which one of the triangle's  side is 21 cm. That is why we have to try all possible variants.

Let the triangle is ABC . Let the AK is the angle A bisector and BM is median.

Let O is AK and BM cross point.

Have a look to triangle ABM.  AO is the bisector and AOB=AOM=90 degrees (means that AO is as bisector as altitude)

=> triangle ABM is isosceles => AB=AM  (1)

1. Let AC=21   So AM=21/2=10.5 cm

So AB=10.5 cm as well.  So BC= P-AB-AC=63-21-10.5=31.5 cm

Such triangle doesn' t exist ( is impossible), because the triangle's inequality doesn't fulfill.  AB+AC>BC ( We have 21+10.5=31.5 => AB+AC=BC)

2. Let AB=21 So AM=21 and AC=42 .So  BC= P-AB-AC=63-21-42=0 cm- such triangle doesn't exist.

3. Finally let BC=21 cm. So AB+AC= 63-21=42 cm

We know (1) that AB=AM so AC=2*AB.  So AB+AC=AB+2*AB=3*AB

=>3*AB=42=> AB=14 cm => AC=2*14=28 cm.

Let check if this triangle exists ( if the triangle's inequality fulfills).

BC+AB>AC    21+14>28 - correct=> the triangle with the sides' length 21cm,14 cm, 28cm exists.

This variant is the only possible solution of the given problem.

Answer:

0.05547

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

_____Peter __ Alan __ Sui__total

Before 1838 __ 418 ___1475 _3731

After _ 1420 __ 329 ___1140_2889

Total _3258 __ 747 __ 2615 _6620

The expected frequency = (Row total * column total) / N

N = grand total = 6620

Using calculator :

Expected values are :

1836.19 __ 421.006 __ 1473.8

1421.81 ___325.994__ 1141.2

χ² = Σ(Observed - Expected)² / Expected

χ² = (0.00177817 + 0.0214571 + 0.000974852 + 0.00229642 + 0.0277108 + 0.00125897)

χ² = 0.05547

Musya8 [376]

x*(1.035) + (4,200-x)*(1.045) = 4,374.00

1.035x + 4,389.00 -1.045x = 4,374.00

15.00  = .01x

x = 1,500  so x (1,500) invested at 3.5% and  

(4,200 - 1,500) (or 2,700) invested at 4.5%
