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

What is the next term in the sequence below?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: Option a.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The sequence shown in the problem is a Geometric sequence, because it has a common ratio. This means that when you multiply one of those numbers by the common ratio, you obtain the next number.

2. Then, you can calculate the common ratio as following:

r=\frac{108}{-324}=-\frac{1}{3}

3. Therefor, the next term is:

(12)(-\frac{1}{3})=-4

Is there a relationship between the area and the perimeter of a rectangle
maksim [4K]
Well, an area and perimeter have formula's. The formula of area is length times width. The formula of perimeter is to basically length plus length plus width plus width. For instance, let's say the rectangles width is 5 and length is 6. So you do 5 plus 5 which is 10 and then 6 plus 6 which is 12. And then, 12 plus 10 equals 22. So the perimeter would be 22. If you were to find the area, you would do 6 times 5 and the area would be 30.
I hope this helps :)
