Let the equal sides of the isosceles Δ ABC be x.

Given that the perimeter of Δ ABC = 50m.

Therefore, 2x + AC = 50 --- (1)

It is also given that the perimeter of Δ ABD = 40m.

Therefore, x + BD + AD = 40

BD is the median of the Δ ABC. Therefore, D is the midpoint of AC.

So AD = CD.

Or, AD = \frac{1}{2} AC

Therefore, x + BD + \frac{1}{2} AC = 40

Multiply both sides by 2.

2x + 2BD + AC = 80

From (1), 2x + AC = 50.

Therefore, 2BD + 50 = 80

2BD = 80 - 50

2BD = 30

BD = 15m.

From (1), 2x + AC = 50.

Therefore, 2BD + 50 = 80

2BD = 80 - 50

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS THANKS

Answer:

The answer to your question is Volume = 12735.06 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

a = 11.26 cm

s = 13 cm

h = 29 cm

Formula

V = BH

Process

1.- Calculate the area of the base

Area = B = Pa/2

P = Perimeter

P = 6(13)

P = 78 cm

Area = (78)(11.26)/2

        = 878.28/2

       = 439.14 cm²

2.- Calculate the volume

Volume = BH

             = (439.14)(29)

             = 12735.06 cm³

8. For what values of x and y must the quadrilateral be a parallelogram?
Gnom [1K]
2x + 5 = 11
2x = 6
  x = 3

y + 4 = 2x + 4
y + 4 = 2(3) + 4
y + 4 = 10
y = 6

answer
x = 3 and y = 6

Find the center and radius of the circle.<br> (x + 3)2 + (y + 4)2 =9
Tpy6a [65]

The general equation for any circle with its center at point (a, b) is

                 (x - a)² + (y - b)²  =  (radius)²

So the circle in the question is centered at (-3, -4), and its radius is  3 .
