Length of the median CP

Mathematics
1 answer:
ehidna [41]3 years ago
7 0

Given:

ΔABC \sim ΔDEF

To find:

The length of median CP

Solution:

In ΔABC,

AP = 12, BP = 12 and PC = 3x - 12

In ΔDEF,

DQ = 16, QE = 16 and FQ = 2x + 8

If two triangles are similar, then their median is proportional to the corresponding sides.

$\Rightarrow \frac{AP}{DQ} =\frac{PC}{FQ}

$\Rightarrow \frac{12}{16} =\frac{3x-12}{2x+8}

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow 12(2x+8)=16(3x-12)

$\Rightarrow 24x+96=48x-192

Add 192 on both sides.

$\Rightarrow 24x+96+192=48x-192+192

$\Rightarrow 24x+288=48x

Subtract 24x from both sides.

$\Rightarrow 24x+288- 24x=48x- 24x

$\Rightarrow 288=24x

Divide by 24 on both sides.

⇒ 12 = x

Substitute x = 12 in CP.

CP = 3(12) - 12

     = 36 - 12

     = 24

The length of median CP is 24.

Shania drove on the interstate for 310 miles without stopping. If she traveled at a constant rate and the trip took her 5 hours,
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

62 miles per hour/62 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Shania drives at a CONSTANT rate, which means in the 5 hours it took her to drive, each hour she drove the same amount.

So we need to do 310 miles in 5 hours, which is:

310/5

Solving this, we get:

62

The answer is 62 miles per hour.

Happy learning!

What amount of money will accumulate to $192,400 in 6 years and 11 months at the interest rate of 5.36% compounded semi-annually
MaRussiya [10]

We will have the following:

\begin{gathered} 192400=A(1+\frac{0.0536}{2})^{(11/12)(2)}\Rightarrow A=\frac{192400}{(1+0.0536/2)^{(11/12)(2)}} \\  \\ \Rightarrow A=183293.7505...\Rightarrow A\approx18329375 \end{gathered}

So, the original quantity was approximately $183 293.75.
