Answer:

5,18,12 cms are the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a triangle ABC. Point D is the centroid.

E,F and G are midpoints of CB, BA and AC respectively.

AE, BF and CG are medians of the triangle.

We know that centroid divides the median in the ratio 2:1

Using this we find that AD:DE = 2:1

Or AD+DE:DE = (2+1):1

AE:DE =3:1

15:DE = 3:1 . Hence DE =5 cm.

On the similar grounds we find that DF = 1/3 BF = 9

Hence BD = DF-BF = 27-9 =18 cm

and also

CG = 3/2 times CD = 12 cm.

the perimeter of a rectangle is 60 meters. if the length of the rectangle is 14 meters. what is the width of the rectangle.,

Ray Of Light [21]

Perimeter is 2width+2length
Therefore since you already know that the perimeter is 60 and the length is 14 you can set up the equation;
60= 2w+14
with this you then need to find w so;
60=2w+14
-14 -14
46=2w
(46/2)=(2w/2)
13=w
The width is 13

The object on the right is made from a square-based pyramid joined to a cuboid.

spayn [35]

Answer:

Density of steel = 80.73 gm/ $cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is made up of cuboid and square pyramid.

Height of cuboid, h = 9 cm

Length of cuboid, l = 6 cm

Width of cuboid, w = 6 cm

Volume of cuboid is given by the formula:

$V_{Cuboid} = l \times w \times h$

$V_{Cuboid} = 6 \times 6 \times 9\\\Rightarrow V_{Cuboid} = 324\ cm^3$

Density of Wood , $D_{Cuboid}$ = 0.68g/ $cm^3$

We know that formula of Density is:

$Density = \dfrac{Weight}{Volume}$

$D_{Cuboid} = \dfrac{W_{Cuboid}}{V_{Cuboid}}\\\Rightarrow W_{Cuboid} = V_{Cuboid} \times D_{Cuboid}$

Putting the values:

$W_{Cuboid} = 324 \times 0.68 = 220.32\ gm$

Total weight = $W_{Cuboid} + W_{Pyramid}$

970 = 220.32 $+ W_{Pyramid}$

$W_{Pyramid}$ = 749.68 gm

Volume of pyramid is given as:

$V_{Pyramid}= \dfrac{1}{3} \times \text{Area of Base} \times \text{Vertical Height}$

Base is a square with side 6 cm

$V_{Pyramid}= \dfrac{1}{3} \times 6 \times 6 \times (17 -9)\\V_{Pyramid}= 96\ cm^3$

Density of Steel/Pyramid:

$D_{Pyramid} = \dfrac{W_{Pyramid}}{V_{Pyramid}}\\\Rightarrow D_{Pyramid} = \dfrac{749.68}{96}\\\Rightarrow D_{Pyramid} = 80.73\ gm/cm^3$

A merchant bought some shirts for $120. The next day the price charged for each shirt was reduced by $1. The merchant calculated

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The merchant buys 30 shirts originally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the merchant bought x numbers of shirts in $120.

So, the cost for each shirt is $ $\frac{120}{x}$ .

Now, if the cost for each shirt is reduced by 1$, then he would have bought 10 shirts more i.e. (x + 10) shirts in $120.

So, we can write the following equation as

$(\frac{120}{x} - 1)(x + 10) = 120$

⇒(120 - x)(x + 10) = 120x

⇒ 120x - 10x + 1200 - x² = 120x

⇒ x² +10x - 1200 = 0

⇒ x² + 40x - 30x - 1200 = 0

⇒(x + 40)(x - 30) = 0

⇒ x = - 40 or x = 30

But x can not be negative.

Hence, the merchant buys 30 shirts originally. (Answer)
