Answer:

Given: ∆ABC with the altitudes from vertex B  and C intersect at point M, so that BM = CM.

To prove:∆ABC is isosceles

Proof:-Let the altitudes from vertex B intersects AB at D and from C intersects AC at E( with reference to the figure)

Consider ΔBMC where BM=MC

Then ∠CBM=∠MCB......(1)(Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal)

Now Consider ΔDMB and ΔCME

∠D=∠E.......(each 90°)

BM=MC...............(given)

∠CME=∠BMD........(vertically opposite angles)

So by ASA congruency criteria

ΔDMB ≅ ΔCME

∴∠DBM=∠MCE........(2)(corresponding parts of a congruent triangle are equal)

Adding (1) and (2),we get

∠DBM+∠CBM=∠MCB+∠MCE

⇒∠DBC=∠BCE

⇒∠B=∠C⇒AB=AC(sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal)⇒∆ABC is an isosceles triangle .

enyata [817]

Answer:

$6

Step-by-step explanation:

let x and y be the number of chip and pretzel bags respectively  : 4x%2B2y%3 C=20 : if x=1 then 4%281%29%2B2y%3C=20--->{{2y<=16}}}--->y%3C=8  : if x=3 then 4%283%29%2B2y%3C=20--->{{2y<=8}}}--->y%3C=4  : so chips 1 and pretzels 8  : chips 3 and pretzels 4.

Solve the equations 11(x+10)=132
VladimirAG [237]
11(x+10) = 132

Distributive property

11x + 110 = 132

Now isolate the variable. 

11x + 110 = 132
        -110     -110

132 - 110 = 22

11x = 22

11x/11 = 22/11
x= 2

Answer:  x = 2

2/3 +1 2/7 =<br> step and working out plz
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make 1 2/7 an improper fraction = 9/7

2. Multiply 7 on both numerator and denominator for 2/3 to make 14/21, and multiply 3 for both numerator and denominator for 9/7 to make 27/21.

3. Add them together. 14/21+27/21=41/21.

4. (Optional) If the question is asking for mixed numbers, 41/21 = 1 20/21.

what is the equation in slope form of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (-3,1)​
viktelen [127]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Calculate the slope of the given line using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 2) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{2+4}{2+2} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}

Parallel lines have equal slopes and using (a, b) = (- 3, 1), then

y - 1 = \frac{3}{2}(x - (- 3)), that is

y - 1 = \frac{3}{2}(x + 3) ← in point- slope form

Solve for x - PLEASE NEED HELP, this is my 3rd time posting it.
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

x=58

Step-by-step explanation:

First, remember that the maximum degree of an angle totals 360°.

Since we already have 294°, this means that what is left must total 360\textdegree - 294\textdegree= 66\textdegree.

Therefore, this means that our two smaller angles must equal 66°. So:

(36)+(x-28)=66

Solve for x. Add on the left:

x+8=66

Subtract 8 from both sides. Therefore, the value of x is:

x=58
