Let x=ab=ac, and y=bc, and z=ad.
Since the perimeter of the triangle abc is 36, you have:
Perimeter of abc = 36
ab + ac + bc = 36
x + x + y = 36
(eq. 1) 2x + y = 36
The triangle is isosceles (it has two sides with equal length: ab and ac). The line perpendicular to the third side (bc) from the opposite vertex (a), divides that third side into two equal halves: the point d is the middle point of bc. This is a property of isosceles triangles, which is easily shown by similarity.
Hence, we have that bd = dc = bc/2 = y/2 (remember we called bc = y).
The perimeter of the triangle abd is 30:
Permiter of abd = 30
ab + bd + ad = 30
x + y/2 + z =30
(eq. 2) 2x + y + 2z = 60
So, we have two equations on x, y and z:
(eq.1) 2x + y = 36
(eq.2) 2x + y + 2z = 60
Substitute 2x + y by 36 from (eq.1) in (eq.2):
(eq.2') 36 + 2z = 60
And solve for z:
36 + 2z = 60 => 2z = 60 - 36 => 2z = 24 => z = 12
The measure of ad is 12.
If you prefer a less algebraic reasoning:
- The perimeter of abd is half the perimeter of abc plus the length of ad (since you have "cut" the triangle abc in two halves to obtain the triangle abd).
- Then, ad is the difference between the perimeter of abd and half the perimeter of abc:
ad = 30 - (36/2) = 30 - 18 = 12
Answer:
<h2>The answer is - 16</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
</h3>
where
n is the number of terms
From the question since we are finding the 5th term
n = 5
Substitute the value into the above formula and solve
We have
We have the final answer as
<h3>- 16</h3>
Hope this helps you
Use 7 scale point.
132/20 = 6.6
to its better to use more than 6.6 scale. to make it easier use 7, so to avoid decimals
6^7 = 6*6*6*6*6*6*6 = 279,936
Ok so ratios
height:shadow =60:24
fractionify
60/24=5/2
5:2 is ratio
if shadow of tree=4 then what is height
5:2=x:4
multipliby 2
10:4=x:4
x=10
10 feet
