Prove that any median in a triangle is less than the half of the triangle's perimeter.

See image for naming of the sides: the medians are

ab, bc, and ac; and sides are a, b, and c

Pick one median, say, ab. The following are true:

ab < a

ab < b

->

ab + ab < a + b

ab < 0.5*(a+b)     | add 0.5*c to the right hand side (does not change inequality)

ab < 0.5(a+b+c) = half perimeter

so ab < half perimeter

Same argument for bc, and ac holds.

Justify each step of the solution by stating the property that was used to get to each step.
trapecia [35]

For this case we have the following expression:

4.5 (8-x) + 36 = 102-2.5 (3x + 24)

Applying distributive property to the terms within parentheses we have:

36-4.5x + 36 = 102-7.5x-60

We add similar terms on both sides of equality considering that:

Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.

Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.

72-4.5x = 42-7.5x

We add 7.5x to both sides of equality:

72 + 3x = 42

We subtract 72 from both sides of equality:

3x = -30

We divide between 3 on both sides of equality

x = -10

ANswer:

Distributive property

Add similar terms

Equality property of the sum

Equality subtraction property

Equality property of the division
