Answer:

The area of APC is 70m². The area of triangle PMC is 35m².

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the area of triangle ABC be x.

It is given that AM is median, it means AM divides the area of triangle in two equal parts.

\text{Area of }\triangle ACM=\text{Area of }\triangle ABM=\frac{x}{2}    .....(1)

The point P is the midpoint of AB, therefore the area of APC and BPC are equal.

\text{Area of }\triangle APC=\text{Area of }\triangle BPC=\frac{x}{2}          ......(2)

The point P is midpoint of AB therefore the line PM divide the area of triangle ABM in two equal parts. The area of triangle APM and BPM are equal.

\text{Area of }\triangle APM=\text{Area of }\triangle BPM=\frac{x}{4}        .....(3)

The area of triangle APM is 35m².

\text{Area of }\triangle APM=\frac{x}{4}

35=\frac{x}{4}

x=140

Therefore the area of triangle ABC is 140m².

Using equation (2).

\text{Area of }\triangle APC=\frac{x}{2}

\text{Area of }\triangle APC=\frac{140}{2}

\text{Area of }\triangle APC=70

Therefore the area of triangle APC is 70m².

Using equation (3), we can say that the area of triangle BPM is 35m² and by using equation (2), we can say that the area of triangle BPC is 70m².

\triangle BPC=\triangle BPM+\triangle PMC

70=35+\triangle PMC

35=\triangle PMC

Therefore the area of triangle PMC is 35m².

Which property justifies this question -5 x 12 = 12 x -5
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Commutative Property of Multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

Commutative Property of Multiplication is the switching of the order first factor  (multiplicand) and the second factor (multiplier), which does not change the product. For example, 4 × 5 = 5 × 4

-5 × 12 = -60

12 × -5 = -60

Completely factor the given expression over the integers.<br><br> (Correct gets brainliest)
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

would it be 50 because you the q to the power of 2 is 2q. Then you would subtract to the other side of the equation so it would be -100=-2q. After you would divided the -2 in -2q on both sides and -100/-2 is 50. So your answer is q=50
