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.

Okay. 10^12 is 1 trillion. 1 trillion * 7 is 7 trillion. 14 trillion / 7 trillion is 2. The national debt in 2010 is two times larger than in 2003. So that basically means that the national debt doubled from 2003 to 2010.

Help me solve this....

rodikova [14]

Answer:

$1. Solution,\\Let~x=0.272727......\\Then, 100x = 27.272727.....\\Now,\\100x-x = 27.272727..... - 0.27272727..... = 27.\\or, 99x = 27\\or, x = \frac{27}{99} = \frac{3}{11}\\Thus,~\frac{3}{11} =0.27272727......\\$

$2. (27)^\frac{2}{3}.(125)^\frac{1}{3}\\= (3^3)^\frac{2}{3}.(5^3)^\frac{1}{3}\\=(3^2)(5)\\=45.$

$3. Solution,\\Here, \frac{1}{5} = 0.2\\\frac{1}{2} = 0.5\\Now, ~Irrational~ numbers~ between~ 0.2 ~and~ 0.5 ~are~ 0.2122275647.......~and~0.467858930.......\\$

You can write any numbers between 0.2 and 0.5 which follow irregular patterns like this.

$OR\\Examples~of~such~irrational~numbers~are~5+\sqrt{7}~ and~5-\sqrt{7} .$

$4. Solution,\\x^2+y^2 = (x+y)^2-2xy=5^2-2(10) = 25-20=5.\\5.~ If~x=-3~and~y=-2~are~the~solutions~of~the~equation~2x-3y=k,~then,\\2(-3)-3(-2)=k\\or, k = -6+6\\or, k = 0$

Anna [14]

Answer: trivial solution is the only solution to Ax = 0, therefore columns must be linearly independent.

Step-by-step explanation: Recall that the columns of A are linearly independent if and only Ax = 0 had only the trivial solution. Since Ax = b has at most one solution, therefore the only solution to Ax = 0 is the trivial solution and the column vectors must be linearly independent.
