The coordinates of D are (x,0). In triangle BCD the length of base is x. In triangle ABD the length of base is x and the height is y. The expression for the area is $\frac{1}{2}xy$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is noticed that the vertices of triangle are A(0,0), B(x,y) and C(2x,0).

Since BD is a perpendicular bisector. Therefore the line BD divides the angle in two equal parts. It is given that triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle , therefore D bisects the segment AC.

So, D is midpoint of AC.

$Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )$

$D=(\frac{0+2x}{2},\frac{0+0}{2})=(x,0)$

Therefore the coordinates of D are (x,0).

From the given figure it is notices that the base of the triangle is 2x and the height of the triangle is y. Area of triangle ABC is

$ABC=\frac{1}{2}\times base\times height$

$ABC=\frac{1}{2}\times (2x)\times y$

ABC=xy

Therefore area of triangle ABC is xy.

From the figure it is noticed that the point D is midpoint therefore the measure of AD and DC is x.

In triangle ABD, the height of the triangle is yand the base of the triangle is x. So area of triangle ABD is

$ABD=\frac{1}{2}\times (x)\times y$

$ABD=\frac{1}{2}xy$

In triangle BCD, the height of the triangle is yand the base of the triangle is x. So area of triangle BCD is

$BCD=\frac{1}{2}\times (x)\times y$

$BCD=\frac{1}{2}xy$

Therefore the area of both triangles are $\frac{1}{2}xy$ .

Hence proved that the perpendicular bisector of an isosceles triangle base divides it into two triangles of equal area.

Answer from: Quest

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

$y\propto x$

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
