Answer:
8 and 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Sides on one side of the angle bisector are proportional to those on the other side. In the attached figure, that means
AC/AB = CD/BD = 2/3
The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths, so is ...
25 = AB + BC + AC
25 = AB + 5 + (2/3)AB . . . . . . substituting AC = 2/3·AB. BC = 2+3 = 5.
20 = 5/3·AB
12 = AB
AC = 2/3·12 = 8
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
The sum of ratio units is 2+3 = 5, so each one must stand for 25/5 = 5 units of length.
That is, the total of lengths on one side of the angle bisector (AC+CD) is 2·5 = 10 units, and the total of lengths on the other side (AB+BD) is 3·5 = 15 units. Since 2 of the 10 units are in the segment being divided (CD), the other 8 must be in that side of the triangle (AC).
Likewise, 3 of the 15 units are in the segment being divided (BD), so the other 12 units are in that side of the triangle (AB).
The remaining sides of the triangle are AB=12 and AC=8.
To answer this, let the 3 sides of the regular sized rectangular box be x, y, and z.
When we double all the sides, the new sides have lengths 2x, 2y, and 2z, respectively.
Since the regular box (with dimensions x,y, and z) have 750 toothpicks, we can write
Similarly we can write for the jumbo box as,
which is equal to
So this is 8 times the original of . Hence the jumbo box will have 8 times 750 number of toothpicks.
