Mathematics

Answer:

5x - 20 is the length of the median

The length of the median = (short side + long side) / 2

5x -20 = (2x +6 + 4x + 2) / 2

5x -20 = (6x +8) / 2

10x -40 = 6x + 8

4x = 48

x = 12

I need help with these three questions (please help me turn them into algebraic form) Thanks!
Ann [662]
The quotient means divide.....the difference means subtract
the quotient of 5 and the difference of a number and 3..
5 / (x - 3) <== ur expression

the product means multiply....decreased means subtract
the product of a number and 20 decreased by 11..
20x - 11 <== ur expression

the difference means subtract 
the difference of 30 and a number, multiplied by 2
2(30 - x) <== ur expression

A)
To be similar triangles have to have equal angles
triangle ZDB' 
1)angle Z=90 degrees
triangle B'CQ
1) angle C 90 degrees

angle A'B'Q=90
DB'Z+A'B'Q+CB'Q=180, straight angle
DB'Z+90+CB'Q=180
DB'Z+CB'Q=90

triangle ZDB'
DZB'+DB'Z=180-90=90

DB'Z+CB'Q=90
DZB'+DB'Z=90
DB'Z+CB'Q=DZB'+DB'Z
2)CB'Q=DZB' (these angles from two triangles ZDB' and B'CQ )
3)so,angles DB'Z and B'QC are going to be equal because of sum of three angles in triangles =180 degrees and 2 angles already equal.
so this triangles are similar by tree angles
b)
B'C:B'D=3:4
B'D:DZ=3:2
CQ-?
DC=AB=21
DC=B'C+B'D (3+4= 7 parts)
21/7=3
B'C=3*3=9
B'D=3*4=12
B'D:DZ=3:2
12:DZ=3:2
DZ=12*2/3=8
B'D:DZ=CQ:B'C
3:2=CQ:9
CQ=3*9/2=27/2

c)
BC=BQ+QC=B'Q+QC
BQ' can be found by pythagorean theorem
