In △abc, cm is the median to ab and side bc is 12 cm long. there is a point p∈cm and a line ap intersecting bc at point q. find the lengths of segments cq and bq, if p divides cm into cp: pm=1: 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

This development is ugly, but it works.

Let area ΔABC = 6a. Then area ΔAMC = 3a, and area ΔAPC = a. Similarly, area ΔBMC = 3a, and area ΔBPC = a.

Let area ΔCPQ = x. Then ...

... area ΔACQ = area ΔAPC + area ΔCPQ

... area ΔACQ = a + x

Define k such that BQ : CQ = k : 1. Then ...

... area ΔBPQ + area ΔCPQ = area ΔBPC

... kx + x = a = (k +1)x

The division of BC into parts of ratio k : 1 means ...

... area ΔABQ = k × area ΔACQ

... area ΔABQ + area ΔACQ = area ΔABC

... k × area ΔACQ + area ΔACQ = area ΔABC

... (k +1)(x +a) = 6a . . . . . . . area ΔACQ = x+a

... (k +1)x +(k +1)a = 6a . . . . . distributive property

... a + (k +1)a = 6a

... k +2 = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by a, simplify

... k = 4

Now, we know BQ : CQ = 4 : 1, so ...

... BQ = 4/5 × 12 cm = 9.6 cm

... CQ = 1/5 × 12 cm = 2.4 cm

ok

step-by-step explanation:

option: d is the correct answer.

d) none of the above.

step-by-step explanation:

clearly from the figure attached to the question we could see that there is no shape given. hence without any shape given in the figure and after rotation we can't obtained a square pyramid.

since, to obtain a image we need a proper figure of the pre-image so that it can be transformed.

hence, the correct answer is:

d) none of the above.
