Let x=ab=ac, and y=bc, and z=ad.
Since the perimeter of the triangle abc is 36, you have:
Perimeter of abc = 36
ab + ac + bc = 36
x + x + y = 36
(eq. 1) 2x + y = 36
The triangle is isosceles (it has two sides with equal length: ab and ac). The line perpendicular to the third side (bc) from the opposite vertex (a), divides that third side into two equal halves: the point d is the middle point of bc. This is a property of isosceles triangles, which is easily shown by similarity.
Hence, we have that bd = dc = bc/2 = y/2 (remember we called bc = y).
The perimeter of the triangle abd is 30:
Permiter of abd = 30
ab + bd + ad = 30
x + y/2 + z =30
(eq. 2) 2x + y + 2z = 60
So, we have two equations on x, y and z:
(eq.1) 2x + y = 36
(eq.2) 2x + y + 2z = 60
Substitute 2x + y by 36 from (eq.1) in (eq.2):
(eq.2') 36 + 2z = 60
And solve for z:
36 + 2z = 60 => 2z = 60 - 36 => 2z = 24 => z = 12
The measure of ad is 12.
If you prefer a less algebraic reasoning:
- The perimeter of abd is half the perimeter of abc plus the length of ad (since you have "cut" the triangle abc in two halves to obtain the triangle abd).
- Then, ad is the difference between the perimeter of abd and half the perimeter of abc:
ad = 30 - (36/2) = 30 - 18 = 12
Answer:
If both computers are working together, it will take 24 minutes to do the job
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
There are two computers.The slower computer can send all the company's email in 60 minutes.
The faster computer can complete the same job in 40 minutes
<u>To find the LCM of 40 and 60</u>
LCM (40, 60) = 120
<u>To find efficiency of 2 computers</u>
Let x be the efficiency of faster computer and y be the efficiency of faster computer
x = 120/40 = 3
y = 120/60 = 2
then, x + y = 3 + 2 = 5
Therefore efficiency of both the computer work together = x + y =5
<u>To find the time taken to work both the computer together</u>
time = 120/5 = 24 minutes
81 servings. I found this by making a ratio:
24 c 108 c
------- = -------
18 ser x
I then cross multiplied to get the equation: 24x=1,944. I solved this equation to find x, the number of servings in 108 cups, which was 81.
I remember doing this back in elementary school. I had a hard time with it too!
