In ∆ABC, the altitudes from vertex B and C intersect at point M, so that BM = CM. Prove that ∆ABC is isosceles.

1 answer:

3 0

BM=CM implies that BCM is isosceles. This means that an altitude from the third vertex A of the triangle ABC, which must necessarily go through M will intersect BC exactly in the middle. This implies that the angles <CBA = <BCA which means the ABC is isosceles.

You have invested $5000 in stocks and bonds. The interest you earned on the stocks was 7%. The interest you earned on the bonds

Sphinxa [80]

Money invested S + B = $5000 - - - - (a)
Money earned can be represented in S & B as follows:
0.07*S + 0.14*B =$500 - - - - (b)

Equations a & b are two equations with two unknowns.

From equation a:
S = 5000 - B
Replace S in equation b
0.07*(5000 - B) + 0.14*B =$500
0.07B = 500 - 350 = $150
B = 150/0.07 = $2142.86
S = 5000 - 2142.86 = $2857.14

Factor this trinomial completely.<br> 2x + 10x + 8

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

4(3x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the GCF (greatest common factor).

GCF=2

Factor out the GCF.

$2(\frac{2x}{x}+\frac{10x}{2}+\frac{8}{2})$

Simplify.

2(x+5x+4)

Collect the like terms x and 5x.

2(6x+4)

Factor out the number 2, because 2*3=6 and 2*2=4.

2*2(3x+2)

Simplify to get the answer.

4(3x+2)
