Question

Help pleaseeeeeeeeeee =*(



Which one is greater or are they equal?

A. The product of BE and AC

B. The product of BC and AD

Answer 1

where is point D?

Answer 2

sorry

Answer 3

BC and AD are equal

Answer 4

how

Answer 5

i mean BE and AC are equal

Answer 6

how do u know that

Answer 7

its fine and if these are two separate questions then part A of it that line BE is equal to line AC, part B of it is that line BC is greater than line AD because of line AD is going at a different angle to BC and thus making line AD shorter than line BC but if it were line to BE DC and line AD then they would be reversed and line AD will be slightly longer and line BE is going done a equilateral triangle meaning if you attach another triangle with the same lengths under it line AC will be equal

Answer 8

yea that y i said never mind on BC and AD

Answer 9

slightly confused so a and b are equal?

Answer 10

no, line AC and line BE are equal but line BC is greater than line AD

Answer 11

the answer says A and B are equal...

Answer 12

ohh, i get it know, it referring to where the line intercept and what angle they make, so in this case A is equal to B because the angles of both are 90 degrees

Answer 13

Man i'm so confused....... can you start from the beginning and break it down so i can understand better

Answer 14

read the lines, now look at where the line intercept

Answer 15

the question is asking if the angle the intercepted lines make are equal or uneven

Answer 16

no it's asking which one is greater or are they equal. But go on

Answer 17

they both form right angles as shown in the picture

Answer 18

so the angle from A and the angle from B both are right angles making them equal

Answer 19

ok

Answer 20

Use the formula for area of triangle
In \[\triangle ABC\]
We have
consider AC as base and BE as height, we have
\[A_{1}=\frac{1}{2}\times AC \times BE\]
Now consider BC as base and AD as height we have
\[A_{2}=\frac{1}{2} \times BC \times AD\]
We are measuring area of the same triangle, so both areas should be equal
\[A_{1}=A_{2} \implies \frac{1}{2} \times AC \times BE=\frac{1}{2}\times BC \times AD\]
\[\implies AC \times BE=BC \times AD\]

Answer 21

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Answer 22

because it's the same triangle they're equal no matter what? But they're asking for the product... will the measurements still be equal?

Answer 23

@Nishant_Garg is right!

Answer 24

No, what I'm saying is I've measured area of triangle ABC in 2 different ways, since I'm only measuring area of ABC, regardless of how I measure, as long as my method is correct, both area should be equal as we are only talking about the same triangle ABC

Answer 25

gotcha! thanks a million!!!
