If the perpendicular bisector of one side of a triangle goes through the opposite vertex, then is the triangle isosceles?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular bisector of the opposite side to the vertex bisects the angle at the vertex into two equal parts and also bisects the triangle into two equal parts.

Let A be the angle at the vertex, then assume that the angle is an isosceles triangle with base angles B.

We need to show that A = 180 - 2B for an isoceles triangle

The perpendicular bisector bisects A into two so the new angle in the vertex one half of the bisected triangle is A/2.

Since this half triangle is a right-angled triangle, the third angle in it is 90.

So, A/2 + B + 90 = 180 (Sum of angles in a triangle)

subtracting 90 from both sides, we have

A/2 + B + 90 - 90 = 180 - 90

A/2 + B = 90

subtracting B from both sides, we have

A/2 + B = 90

A/2 = 90 - B

multiplying through by 2, we have

A = 2(90 - B)

A = 180 - 2B

Since A = 180 - 2B, then our triangle is an isosceles triangle.

The area of this square

ANEK [815]

It appears as if 12cm is half the length of the side so we can assume that the total length of one side is 24cm.

The area of a square is given by the equation $A=s^{2}$ where s is the length of the side.

$A=24^{2}$

A=576

The area of this square is 576cm2.

Hope this helps!

A livestock company reports that the mean weight of a group of young steers is 1143 pounds with a standard deviation of 88 pound

malfutka [58]

Answer:

a) P(x<1200)=74.14%

b) P(1100<X<1250)=57.54%

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Distribution

The normal distribution, also known as the bell curve, is a distribution that occurs naturally in many situations of life. We use the model $N(\mu,\sigma)$ to understand the behavior of some real-life variables. Where $\mu$ is the mean value and $\sigma$ is the standard deviation.

In our case, we have

$\mu=1143,\ \sigma=88$

And are required to find the percentage of steers whose weigh lie within a given range. We must use some sort of table or digital means to compute the values because the normal distribution cannot be calculated directly by a formula. We use the NORMDIST (or NORM.DIST) formula for Excel which gives us the left tail of the area behind the bell curve, i.e. the cumulative percentage for a give value of X. The formula has the form

NORM.DIST(x,mean,standard_dev,cumulative)

a) X<1200

The formula is used with the following parameters

NORM.DIST(1200,1143,88,true)

and we get

$P(X$

b) We need to compute P(1100<X<1250). To do this, we calculate both left tails and the subtract them

NORM.DIST(1100,1143,88,true)=0.3125

NORM.DIST(1250,1143,88,true)=0.8880

$P(1100$

$\boxed{P(1100$
