Prove that the altitude to the base of an isosceles triangle is also the median to the base in complete sentences:

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

The altitude to the base of an isosceles triangle meets the base at right angles, dividing the triangle into two right triangles. The hypotenuse of each of these triangles is one of the congruent sides of the isosceles triangle, so the hypotenuses are congruent. The altitude is congruent to itself, so comprises congruent legs of the right triangles.

The right triangles are congruent to each other by the HL congruence theorem. The remaining side of each of the right triangles is part of the base of the original isosceles triangle. Those sides are congruent by CPCTC, so the altitude meets the base at its midpoint. Hence the altitude to the base is a median of the isosceles triangle.

__

Here's the same argument with vertices defined.

Define isosceles triangle ABC such that AB≅AC. Define altitude AD⊥BC. Then ΔADB and ΔADC are right triangles with AB≅AC and AD≅AD. Then ΔADB≅ΔADC by the HL theorem, and DB≅DC by CPCTC. Hence D is the midpoint of BC, and AD is a median.

Perry saved 4 twenty-dollar bills, 2 ten-dollar bills, 3 dimes, and 2 pennies. Before winter break, he bought a new racing video game for $49.86. How much money did Perry have left?

Answers

Answer:

[see answer below]

Step-by-step explanation:

"Perry saved 4 twenty-dollar bills, 2 ten-dollar bills, 3 dimes, and 2 pennies."

4 * 20 = 80

2 * 10 = 20

3 * 0.1 = 0.3

2 * 0.01 = 0.02

80 + 20 + 0.3 + 0.02 = $100.32

100.32 - 49.86 = 50.46

Can someone help me with this two because I am very confused

Answers

Answer:

Let the height of the larger box = h

and length and width of the larger box = l and w , repectively

Now , Let find the volume of the larger box

Volume = length * width * height

So Volume of the larger box = l*w*h = lwh

Now the question says

the height of the smaller box is 80% of the height of the larger box

It means

Height of the smaller box = 80% of h = 0.80*h = 0.80h

and the other two dimensions are same so it means length and width of the smaller box = l and w

so, Volume of the smaller box = l*w*0.80h = 0.80lwh

So the Difference in the volume of the two boxes = Volume of larger box - Volume of smaller box

therefore , Difference in the Volume of two boxes = lwh - 0.80 lwh = 0.20lwh

Step-by-step explanation:

lwh=-0.80 lwh=0.80lwh

If x is an integer, what is the least possible value for x that satisfies the inequality?

A. -10
B. -9
C. -8
D. 9
E. 10

Answers

Answer:

C. -8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve the inequality by isolating x.

-5x - 12 < 33

Add 12 to both sides.

-5x < 45

Divide both sides by -5 (remember to flip the sign when dividing by a negative).

x > -9

The least possible value for x that satisfies this inequality is -8.

Math problem for high school

Answers

Answer:

50/3

Step-by-step explanation:

area of triangle = 10

area of circle = 10

area of triangle + area of circle = 20

The white sector of the circle has central angle 60°.

Its area is 1/6 the area of the circle.

To find the gray area, you must subtract the white area from the area of the circle and also subtract the white area from the area of the triangle. Two times the white area is 1/3 the area of the circle.

gray area = 20 - (1/3)10

gray area = 20 - 10/3

gray area = 60/3 - 10/3

gray area = 50/3

Answer:

The white sector of the circle = (1/6) (10) = 10/6 = 5/3

So....the grey area = 10 + 10 - 2 (5/3) = 20 - 10/3 = 60/3 - 10/3 = 50 / 3

Answers

Answer:

(10,0)(-1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 9x - 10 = 0

(x - 10)(x + 1) = 0

The two solutions are

x - 10 = 0

x = 10

or

x+1 = 0

x = - 1

Answer:

x=10, x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given this equation:

x²-10=9x

And we want to solve it by factoring

Factoring is easier to do when all of the terms are on the same side, so let's subtract 9x from both sides

x²-9x-10=0

Now we must think of two numbers that add up to -9, but multiply to get -10

Those numbers are -10 and 1

So factor the polynomial using FOIL:

(x-10)(x+1)=0

Now split and solve via the zero product property:

x-10=0

Add 10 to both sides

x=10

x+1=0

Subtract 1 from both sides

x=-1

On the set of axes below, draw the graph of the equation y = -3/4x + 3. Is the point (3, 2) a solution to the equation? Explain your answer based on the graph drawn

Answers

answer: no (3,2) isn’t a solution because the line on the graph doesn’t go through it and if you plug in the ordered pair in the equation it comes out to be untrue.

(3,2) isn’t a solution because it doesn't satisfy the equation also, the line on the graph doesn’t go through it .

How can we find the solution to an equation?

We do same operations on both the sides so that equality of both expressions doesn't get disturbed.

Solving equations generally means finding the values of the variables used in it for which the considered equation is true.

The graph of the equation is given as y = -3/4x + 3.

We have to find if the point (3, 2) a solution to the equation.

So, we will subtitute the point to to satify the equation;

y = -3/4x + 3.

y = -3/4(3) + 3

y = -9 / 4 + 3

y = 3/3 = 1

Thus, (3,2) isn’t a solution because it doesn't satisfy the equation also, the line on the graph doesn’t go through it .

i have 30 coins. some of them are dimes, and some of them are quarters. in total, i have $4.05. how many of each coin do i have?

Answers

Answer: 23 dimes & 7 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimes = 10¢ = $0.10Quarters = 25¢ = $0.25Number of dimes = xNumber of quarters = y

You can create two equations:

[tex]\left \{ {{x + y = 30} \atop {0.10x + 0.25y =4.05}} \right.[/tex]

Rearrange x + y = 30:

[tex]y=30-x[/tex]

Substitute it into the x-value of the other equation & solve:

[tex]0.10x + 0.25y =0.10x + 0.25(30-x)=4.05\\0.10x+7.5-0.25x=4.05\\0.10x-0.25x=4.05-7.5\\-0.15x=-3.45\\x=\frac{-3.45}{-0.15} =23[/tex]

With the x-value, substitute it back to the original equation to find y-value:

[tex]y=30-x=30-23=7[/tex]

Therefore, there are 23 dimes & 7 quarters.

There are 23 dimes and 7 quarters.

Given that, the total number of coins=30.

How to convert dimes to dollars?

To convert dimes to dollars we need to multiply the number of dimes by 0.1.

Let the number of dimes be x, and then the number of quarters will be 30-x.

Now, x×0.1+(30-x)×0.25=4.05

⇒-0.15x=-3.45

⇒x=23

30-x=7

Hence, there are 23 dimes and 7 quarters.
