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.

A coconut is a fruit that is made up of a hard outer shell that is spherical. Inside, there is a thick layer of coconut meat tha
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

V = 18816.57 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

So we need to find the volume of the inner sphere. Try to picture the coconut as a circle with another circle inside of it. We know that the bigger circle is 55 inches wide, and the distance between the circumferences of the circles is 11 inches. that means the inner circle is 55 - 2(11) inches wide. This is because we have 11 inches of coconut meat on either side of the inner circle.

55 - 2(11) = 33 inches

The radius is half of the diameter, so r = 16.5 inches.

Now just use the formaula V = \frac{4}{3}\pi  r^{3}

V = (4/3) * 3.14 * (16.5)^3

V = 18816.57 in^3

<em>Also, just a side note.. this is one big coconut..</em>

Evan's rectangular lawn measures 8 yards by 10 yards. He planted a hedge
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Length of rectangular lawn =72 meters

Breadth of rectangular lawn =18 meters

Perimeter of rectangle =2(Length+Breadth)

So, Perimeter of rectangle =2(72+18)=2(90)=180 meters

If three shrubs can be planted in a meter of hedge.

Then, Number of shrubs planted in whole perimeter will be=3×180=540
