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.

4 5/7 subtract 1 6/7 is what in simplest form please show your work
BaLLatris [955]
Change the mixed fractions to an improper fraction.
4 5/7 = 32/7
1 6/7 = 13/7

Now you can easily subtract since both fractions have common denominators
32/7 - 13/7
(Think: 32 - 13 = 19)

Change the improper fraction to a mixed fraction
19/7 = 2 5/7

Answer: 2 5/7

Hope I helped =)
