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.

15. Fatima bought a video game that has a
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount = 15% of 45

=\frac{15}{100}*45\\\\=\frac{675}{100}=6.75

= $6.75

Price of the video game = 45 - 6.75 = $38.25

Tax = 7%of 38.25

=\frac{7}{100}*38.25\\\\=\frac{267.75}{100}=2.6775

Price paid by Fatima for the video game = 38.25 + 2.68 = $ 40.93
