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.

An online music store offers 5 downloads for $6.25.Another online music store offers 12 downloads for $17.40.Which store offers
Anon25 [30]
Well, what you have to do is find the unit rate for each one of those prices and how you do that is by dividing each price by the downloads

so $6.25 divided by 5= $1.25

and then $17.40 divided by 12= $1.45


so that means the one with $6.25/5 downloads has a better deal!

What is a formula for the nth term of the given sequence?<br> 20,50, 125...
loris [4]

Answer:

a(n) = 20*2.5^(n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 50 is 2.5 times 20, and that 125 is 2.5 times 50.  Thus the common factor is 2.5.  The formula for the nth term is

a(n) = a(1)*r^(n - 1)  => a(n) = 20*2.5^(n - 1)
