Answer:

The value of AD=1 and DC=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ΔABC, D∈ AC m∠ABC=m∠BDA,  AB=2, AC=4

Diagram: Please find attachment.

To find: AD=? and DC=?

Calculation:

In ΔABC and ΔADB

   ∠ABC=∠ADB          (Given)

        ∠A=∠A               (Common)

Therefore,  ΔABC ≈ ΔADB  by AA similarity

If two triangles are similar then ratio their corresponding sides are equal

Therefore,

\dfrac{AD}{AB}=\dfrac{AB}{AC}

where, AD=?, AB=2, AC=4

\dfrac{AD}{2}=\dfrac{2}{4}

AD=\dfrac{2\times 2}{4}=1

AD=1

AD+DC=AC

1+DC=4

DC=4-1

DC=3

Hence, The value of AD=1 and DC=3

Answer:

AD = 1

DC = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that ∠ABC = ∠BDA, because it is stated in the problem. We also know that ∠A = ∠A, because that angle is common in both angles. To better visualize this, there is a picture below. Therefore, ΔABC is similar to ΔBDA. We are also aware of the fact that AB = 2, and AC = 4. Therefore, the ratio of similitude is 1:2.

Since the two triangles are similar, side AB is proportionate to side AC, side AD is proportionate to side AB, and side BD is proportionate to side BC.

Using this fact and the ratio of similitude, we can write the following ratio:

AD:AB = 1:2

We can substitute 2 for AB in this ratio, and we find that AD = 1.

Since AD + DC = AC, and AC = 4, DC = 3.

Use a proof by contradiction to show that the square root of 3 is national You may use the following fact: For any integer kirke
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1. Let us proof that √3 is an irrational number, using <em>reductio ad absurdum</em>. Assume that \sqrt{3}=\frac{m}{n} where  m and n are non negative integers, and the fraction \frac{m}{n} is irreducible, i.e., the numbers m and n have no common factors.

Now, squaring the equality at the beginning we get that

3=\frac{m^2}{n^2} (1)

which is equivalent to 3n^2=m^2. From this we can deduce that 3 divides the number m^2, and necessarily 3 must divide m. Thus, m=3p, where p is a non negative integer.

Substituting m=3p into (1), we get

3= \frac{9p^2}{n^2}

which is equivalent to

n^2=3p^2.

Thus, 3 divides n^2 and necessarily 3 must divide n. Hence, n=3q where q is a non negative integer.

Notice that

\frac{m}{n} = \frac{3p}{3q} = \frac{p}{q}.

The above equality means that the fraction \frac{m}{n} is reducible, what contradicts our initial assumption. So, \sqrt{3} is irrational.

2. Let us prove now that the multiplication of an integer and a rational number is a rational number. So, r\in\mathbb{Q}, which is equivalent to say that r=\frac{m}{n} where  m and n are non negative integers. Also, assume that k\in\mathbb{Z}. So, we want to prove that k\cdot r\in\mathbb{Z}. Recall that an integer k can be written as

k=\frac{k}{1}.

Then,

k\cdot r = \frac{k}{1}\frac{m}{n} = \frac{mk}{n}.

Notice that the product mk is an integer. Thus, the fraction \frac{mk}{n} is a rational number. Therefore, k\cdot r\in\mathbb{Q}.

3. Let us prove by <em>reductio ad absurdum</em> that the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is an irrational number. So, we have x is irrational and p\in\mathbb{Q}.

Write q=x+p and let us suppose that q is a rational number. So, we get that

x=q-p.

But the subtraction or addition of two rational numbers is rational too. Then, the number x must be rational too, which is a clear contradiction with our hypothesis. Therefore, x+p is irrational.

Find three consecutive odd integers such that the sum of the smaller two is three times the largest increased by seven
svlad2 [7]
Let the three odd integers be x - 2, x and x + 2
x - 2 + x = 3(x + 2) + 7
2x - 2 = 3x + 6 + 7
2x - 2 = 3x + 13
3x - 2x = -2 - 13
x = -15

The three consecutive odd integers are -17, -15 and -13.

Chin canned a number of quart jars and a number of pint jars of tomatoes from his garden. A pint is 16 ounces and a quart is 32
daser333 [38]

We have two variables p and q that need to be found.

p = # of pints

q= # of quarts

16p+32q=1280

- you do not jump into looking for the answer to each variable as it is asking for an equation not to find what p and q is
