Answer:

(i) In △ABD and △ACD,

AB=AC ....(since △ABC is isosceles)

AD=AD ....(common side)

BD=DC ....(since △BDC is isosceles)

ΔABD≅ΔACD .....SSS test of congruence,

∴∠BAD=∠CAD i.e. ∠BAP=∠PAC .....[c.a.c.t]......(i)

(ii) In △ABP and △ACP,

AB=AC ...(since △ABC is isosceles)

AP=AP ...(common side)

∠BAP=∠PAC ....from (i)

△ABP≅△ACP .... SAS test of congruence

∴BP=PC ...[c.s.c.t].....(ii)

∠APB=∠APC ....c.a.c.t.

(iii) Since △ABD≅△ACD

∠BAD=∠CAD ....from (i)

So, AD bisects ∠A

i.e. AP bisects∠A.....(iii)

In △BDP and △CDP,

DP=DP ...common side

BP=PC ...from (ii)

BD=CD ...(since △BDC is isosceles)

△BDP≅△CDP ....SSS test of congruence

∴∠BDP=∠CDP ....c.a.c.t.

∴ DP bisects∠D

So, AP bisects ∠D ....(iv)

From (iii) and (iv),

AP bisects ∠A as well as ∠D.

(iv) We know that

∠APB+∠APC=180

∘

....(angles in linear pair)

Also, ∠APB=∠APC ...from (ii)

∴∠APB=∠APC=

2

180

∘

=90

∘

BP=PC and ∠APB=∠APC=90

∘

Hence, AP is perpendicular bisector of

A car rental company charges a base fee of $30 per day to rent a car, along with an additional $0.18 per mile driven. If George
sladkih [1.3K]

George's cost per day is

... c = 30 + 0.18m

We want c < 55, so we can write

... 30 + 0.18m < 55 . . . . . your inequality

_____

Here is the solution to the inequality

... 0.18m < 25

... m < 25/0.18

... m < 138.9

George must drive less than 138.9 miles that day.

Amanda plans on going to the amusement park this Friday. It costs $25.00 to
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

$36.25

Step-by-step explanation:

To enter the park, Amanda pays 25 dollars.

+$25

It costs 1.25 for every ride that Amanda goes on.

Since we don't know the number of rides Amanda goes on, we will add a variable to represent the number of rides.

1.25x

Then, the passage says that Amanda goes on 9 rides. So, substitute 9 for x.

Equation: 25+1.25(9)

Then solve:

$36.25
