Perpendicular bisectors have a particular property: if AB is a perpendicular bisector of CD, then every point lying on AB has the same distance from C and D.

In your case, we have that every point lying on AC has the same distance from B and D.

So, in particular, we have EB=ED, because E lies on AC.

Moreover, since AC is a perpendicular bisector, it is the height of the triangle (if we choose BD as base), and it bisects BD: this means that the triangle is isosceles, so AD=AB.

This means that triangles ABE and ADE have:

  • AD=AB because ABD is isosceles
  • EB=ED because AC is the perpendicular bisector of BD
  • AE in common

So, their sides are all equal, and thus they are congruent.

3x/4 +2/3=x/3 find the exact answer to the simplest form
slega [8]
First, we need to get rid of the denominator. to do so, we will simply multiply all terms by 12 (which is the result of 3*4).
(3x/4)(12)+(2/3)(12)=(x/3)(12)
9x + 8 = 4x
then we will separate the variable in one side and solve to get its value
9x-4x = -8
5x = -8
x = -8/5
