svetoff [14.1K]3 years ago
6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

x/3-2/5=2x/15-3x

5x-6=2x-9

5x-2x=-9+6

3x=-3

3x/3=-3/3

x=-1

AM is a median in △ABC (M∈ BC ). A line drawn through point M intersects AB at its midpoint P. Find areas of △APC and △PMC, if A
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The area of APC is 70m². The area of triangle PMC is 35m².

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the area of triangle ABC be x.

It is given that AM is median, it means AM divides the area of triangle in two equal parts.

\text{Area of }\triangle ACM=\text{Area of }\triangle ABM=\frac{x}{2}    .....(1)

The point P is the midpoint of AB, therefore the area of APC and BPC are equal.

\text{Area of }\triangle APC=\text{Area of }\triangle BPC=\frac{x}{2}          ......(2)

The point P is midpoint of AB therefore the line PM divide the area of triangle ABM in two equal parts. The area of triangle APM and BPM are equal.

\text{Area of }\triangle APM=\text{Area of }\triangle BPM=\frac{x}{4}        .....(3)

The area of triangle APM is 35m².

\text{Area of }\triangle APM=\frac{x}{4}

35=\frac{x}{4}

x=140

Therefore the area of triangle ABC is 140m².

Using equation (2).

\text{Area of }\triangle APC=\frac{x}{2}

\text{Area of }\triangle APC=\frac{140}{2}

\text{Area of }\triangle APC=70

Therefore the area of triangle APC is 70m².

Using equation (3), we can say that the area of triangle BPM is 35m² and by using equation (2), we can say that the area of triangle BPC is 70m².

\triangle BPC=\triangle BPM+\triangle PMC

70=35+\triangle PMC

35=\triangle PMC

Therefore the area of triangle PMC is 35m².

joe and Bill are working on building a stone wall that will be 120 feet long. Joe works from one end and is able to build one te
konstantin123 [22]

Joe completes an average of (10 ft)/(5 h) = 2 ft/hour. Bill completes an average of (10 ft)/(4 h) = 2.5 ft/hour. Together, they complete 2+2.5 = 4.5 ft/hour. At that rate, it will take them

... (120 ft)/(4.5 ft/h) = 26 2/3 h

The average price of a movie ticket in the United States from 1980 to 2000 can be modeled by the expression 2.75+0.10x, where x
Trava [24]

Answer:

2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

0.10 represents the rate at which prices have increased since 1980..

2.75 represents the price in 1980

This can be confirmed by inputting 0 as the value of x.

2.75+0.10(0) = 2.75
