Answer:

Given: Two Isosceles triangle ABC and Δ PBC having same base BC. AD is the median of Δ ABC and PD is the median of Δ PBC.

To prove: Point A,D,P are collinear.

Proof:

→Case 1.  When vertices A and P are opposite side of Base BC.

In Δ ABD and Δ ACD

AB= AC   [Given]

AD is common.

BD=DC  [median of a triangle divides the side in two equal parts]

Δ ABD ≅Δ ACD [SSS]

∠1=∠2 [CPCT].........................(1)

Similarly, Δ PBD ≅ Δ PCD [By SSS]

 ∠ 3 = ∠4 [CPCT].................(2)

But,  ∠1+∠2+ ∠ 3 + ∠4 =360° [At a point angle formed is 360°]

2 ∠2 + 2∠ 4=360° [using (1) and (2)]

∠2 + ∠ 4=180°

But ,∠2 and ∠ 4 forms a linear pair i.e Point D is common point of intersection of median AD and PD of ΔABC and ΔPBC respectively.

So, point A, D, P lies on a line.

CASE 2.

When ΔABC and ΔPBC lie on same side of Base BC.

In ΔPBD and ΔPCD

PB=PC[given]

PD is common.

BD =DC [Median of a triangle divides the side in two equal parts]

ΔPBD ≅ ΔPCD  [SSS]

∠PDB=∠PDC [CPCT]

Similarly, By proving ΔADB≅ΔADC we will get,  ∠ADB=∠ADC[CPCT]

As PD and AD are medians to same base BC of ΔPBC and ΔABC.

∴ P,A,D lie on a line i.e they are collinear.

As a recruiter, you are asked to recruit 65 new sales associates for an organization. Traditionally, for the organization, 25% o
Lorico [155]

Answer: 1733.33 ≈ 1734 applicants

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of job applicants being looked at.

If 25% of applicants become job candidates, then number of job candidates = 0.25x

If 20% of job candidates receive job offers, then the number of job offers = 0.20 × 0.25x = 0.05x

If 75% of job offers are accepted, then number of accepted recruits = 0.75 × 0.05x = 0.0375x

This 0.0375x shows the number of new recruits which is equivalent to the 65 that is needed by the client if the recruiter.

By equating this 0.0375x to 65,we have:

0.0375x = 65

x = 65/0.0375

x= 1733.33 applicants, for whole number sake because we're dealing with humans, we approximate to 1734
