What is the original price if saidhari and she paid $75 and it was 1/4 off the price

1 answer:

4 0

Let's set the original price as x.

1/4 off the original price would be

x-1/4x=3/4x

Set it equal to 75

3/4x=75
3x=300
x=100

The original price was $100.

Hope this helps!

If the perpendicular bisector of one side of a triangle goes through the opposite vertex, then is the triangle isosceles?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular bisector of the opposite side to the vertex bisects the angle at the vertex into two equal parts and also bisects the triangle into two equal parts.

Let A be the angle at the vertex, then assume that the angle is an isosceles triangle with base angles B.

We need to show that A = 180 - 2B for an isoceles triangle

The perpendicular bisector bisects A into two so the new angle in the vertex one half of the bisected triangle is A/2.

Since this half triangle is a right-angled triangle, the third angle in it is 90.

So, A/2 + B + 90 = 180 (Sum of angles in a triangle)

subtracting 90 from both sides, we have

A/2 + B + 90 - 90 = 180 - 90

A/2 + B = 90

subtracting B from both sides, we have

A/2 + B = 90

A/2 = 90 - B

multiplying through by 2, we have
