Answer:
Part 1) 
Part 2) 
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
------> is the radius of a circle inscribed inside the triangle
we have that

therefore


Step 2
Find the length of DC
we know that
In the right triangle MDC
Applying the Pythagoras theorem

we have


substitute




The proportion equal to a/b = c/d is A.) A/C = B/D
We will know if a proportion is equivalent when its cross products are equal.
a/b = c/d where ad = bc
since ad = bc, a/c = b/d
Answer:
1.96
Step-by-step explanation:
A farmer sells 9.8 kl of apples and pears
4/5 of this weight is apples, while the rest are pears
Therefore the wight of pears can be calculated as follows
Let x represent the weight of pears
9.8= 4/5×9.8 + x
9.8= 0.8×9.8+x
9.8= 7.84+x
9.8-7.84= x
x= 1.96
