Answer:
9 3/4 pages = x
Step-by-step explanation:
change 3 1/4 to a decimal





working with the fraction
3 1/4 /8 = x/ 24
3 1/4 (24) = 8x
13/4 (24) = 8x
316/4 = 8x
78 = 8x
78/8 = x
9 3/4 = x
The bisector of the angle at A (call it AQ) divides the segment BC into segments BQ:QC having the ratio AB:AC. Use this fact to find x.
.. 9:15 = (2x -1):3x
.. 15(2x -1) = 9*3x . . . . . the product of the means equals the product of extremes
.. 30x -15 = 27x
.. 3x = 15
.. x = 5
___
According to the value of x, the bisector AQ divides the triangle into two isosceles triangles: ABQ, ACQ.
