Answer:
0.58333333333 Or 0.58333333333/100000000000
Step-by-step explanation:
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:
Slope is -3, y-intercept is 30
Step-by-step explanation:
You take the two points (11,-3) and (7,9), plug them into the formula y2-y1/x2-x2=m. Now, you have 9-(-3)/7-11 which gives you 12/-4, 12/-4 can be simplified into -3 which is your slope. To find y-intercept you must use the formula y=mx+b. Plug -3, your slope, into m, and any of the coordinates on your line into the y and x; I used (7,9). You solve for b from 9=-3*7+b. -3*7 gives you -21, now you have 9=-21+b, to get b by itself, you add 21 to both sides, 30=b. B is your y-intercept.
