If A(4 -6) B(3 -2) and C (5 2) are the vertices of a triangle ABC fine the length of the median AD from A to BC. Also verify that area of triangle ABD = Area of triangle ACD

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The median AD from A to BC has a length of 6.

b) Areas of triangles ABD and ACD are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A median is a line that begin in a vertix and end at a midpoint of a side opposite to vertix. As first step the location of the point is determined:

[tex]D (x,y) = \left(\frac{x_{B}+x_{C}}{2},\frac{y_{B}+y_{C}}{2} \right)[/tex]

[tex]D(x,y) = \left(\frac{3 + 5}{2},\frac{-2 + 2}{2} \right)[/tex]

[tex]D(x,y) = (4,0)[/tex]

The length of the median AD is calculated by the Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]AD = \sqrt{(x_{D}-x_{A})^{2}+ (y_{D}-y_{A})^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]AD = \sqrt{(4-4)^{2}+[0-(-6)]^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]AD = 6[/tex]

The median AD from A to BC has a length of 6.

b) In order to compare both areas, all lengths must be found with the help of Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]AB = \sqrt{(x_{B}-x_{A})^{2}+ (y_{B}-y_{A})^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]AB = \sqrt{(3-4)^{2}+[-2-(-6)]^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]AB \approx 4.123[/tex]

[tex]AC = \sqrt{(x_{C}-x_{A})^{2}+ (y_{C}-y_{A})^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]AC = \sqrt{(5-4)^{2}+[2-(-6)]^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]AC \approx 4.123[/tex]

[tex]BC = \sqrt{(x_{C}-x_{B})^{2}+ (y_{C}-y_{B})^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]BC = \sqrt{(5-3)^{2}+[2-(-2)]^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]BC \approx 4.472[/tex]

[tex]BD = CD = \frac{1}{2}\cdot BC[/tex] (by the definition of median)

[tex]BD = CD = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (4.472)[/tex]

[tex]BD = CD = 2.236[/tex]

[tex]AD = 6[/tex]

The area of any triangle can be calculated in terms of their side length. Now, equations to determine the areas of triangles ABD and ACD are described below:

[tex]A_{ABD} = \sqrt{s_{ABD}\cdot (s_{ABD}-AB)\cdot (s_{ABD}-BD)\cdot (s_{ABD}-AD)}[/tex], where [tex]s_{ABD} = \frac{AB+BD+AD}{2}[/tex]

[tex]A_{ACD} = \sqrt{s_{ACD}\cdot (s_{ACD}-AC)\cdot (s_{ACD}-CD)\cdot (s_{ACD}-AD)}[/tex], where [tex]s_{ACD} = \frac{AC+CD+AD}{2}[/tex]

Finally,

[tex]s_{ABD} = \frac{4.123+2.236+6}{2}[/tex]

[tex]s_{ABD} = 6.180[/tex]

[tex]A_{ABD} = \sqrt{(6.180)\cdot (6.180-4.123)\cdot (6.180-2.236)\cdot (6.180-6)}[/tex]

[tex]A_{ABD} \approx 3.004[/tex]

[tex]s_{ACD} = \frac{4.123+2.236+6}{2}[/tex]

[tex]s_{ACD} = 6.180[/tex]

[tex]A_{ACD} = \sqrt{(6.180)\cdot (6.180-4.123)\cdot (6.180-2.236)\cdot (6.180-6)}[/tex]

[tex]A_{ACD} \approx 3.004[/tex]

Therefore, areas of triangles ABD and ACD are the same.

P.S - Mark me as the brainliest :D

Joey and Nolan are each solving the equation 13x - 42 = 18 - 7x. Joey's first step was to rewrite the equation as 20x - 42 = 18 while Nolan's first step was to rewrite the equation as 13x = 60 - 7x. Who is correctly applying the addition property of equality in the first step of his work? A. Only Joey B. Only Nolan C. Both Joey and Nolan D. Neither Joey nor Nolan​

Answers

Answer:

Correct option: C.

(Both Joey and Nolan)

Step-by-step explanation:

The step Joey did is:

Add 7x to both sides of the equation

Then, he got:

13x - 42 + 7x = 18 - 7x + 7x

20x - 42 = 18

The step Nolan did is:

Add 42 to both sides of the equation

Then, he got:

13x - 42 + 42 = 18 - 7x + 42

13x = 60 - 7x

So both of them used correctly the addition property of equality in the first step of their work.

Correct option: C.

The surface inside the circles will be painted green. The surface outside the circles will be painted white. What is the ratio of green paint to white paint you will need to paint these tiles? \((\pi^2-4):\pi^2\) a \(\pi^2:(\pi^2-4)\) b \(\pi:(4-\pi)\) c \((4-\pi):\pi\) d

Answers

Answer:

B, π:(4-π).

Step By Step:

With a side of length 12, we have an area of 144. The circle's radius is 3, so their area is 9π, per circle. All four circles have a total combined area of 36π  - green. The area that is left of the square after the circles are painted green  is  144-36π - White

So, the ratio of Green:White is (36π) : (144-36π), which simplifies to π:(4-π), B

Language is a complex system that includes the ways we express ourselves, such as speaking or writing, and ways we receive information, such as listening and reading. a. true b. false

Answers

Answer: False, language is a more specific word.

Step-by-step explanation:

Language is a complex and structured system of communication.

This word particularly refers to the "artificial codes or ciphers" that humans use to communicate.

The thing in the sentence is more general than language, this refers to communication:

"Communication is a complex system that includes the ways we express ourselves, such as speaking or writing, and ways we receive information, such as listening and reading."

So the actual sentence is false.

Exactly 1 1/3 yard of ribbon is needed to make a bow. Which of the following lengths of ribbon could be used to make a bow with the least amount remaining?

Answers

The answer choice which could be used to make a bow with the least amount remaining is; 1 2/5 yards.

Which Length of ribbon renders the least remainder?

It follows from the task content that the amount of ribbon remaining in each case can be evaluated as follows;

For 1 2/5 yards: 1 2/5 - 1 1/3 = 1/15. renders only 1/15 a yard to waste.

For 1 and 1/6 yards would render a waste of 1 1/6 yards since it is not possible to make a ribbon out of it.

1 2/10 yards would render a waste of 1 and 1/5 yards since it is not possible to make a ribbon out of it.

Mehmut is 4 times as old as his brother, but
next year he will be only 3 times as old. Find
Mehmut's age now?
ALICIA CONYERS
7:20 AM

Answers

Answer:

Mehmut is 8 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement we can get the following information, let M be Mehmut's age and b brother's age:

M = 4 * b

M + 1 = 3 * (b + 1)

We replace the first equation in the second and we are left with:

4 * b + 1 = 3 * b + 3

4 * b - 3 * b = 3 - 1

b = 2

Now, we replace to calculate M:

M = 4 * b

M = 4 * 2

M = 8

Mehmut is 8 years old.

What is arithmetic progression?

Arithmetic progression is the sequence of numbers that have common differences between adjacent values.
Example,  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. this sequence as n = 6 number with a = 1 (1st term)  and common differene d = 2- 1 = 1.


Given arithmetic sequance is in the form of [tex]\left \{ {{a_1=9} \atop {a_n =a_{n-1}-3} \right.[/tex]
From above expression
[tex]a_n-a_{n-1}= -3[/tex]
common difference (d) = -3
with d = -3 and [tex]a_1 = 9[/tex]
The equation for the nth term in an arithmetic sequence is given by
[tex]a_n =a +(n-1)d[/tex]
[tex]a_n = 9 +(n-1)(-3)[/tex]
The above expression is the explicit form of the arithmetic equation.
