The perimeter of this triangle is 25 units. an angle bisector divides one side of the triangle into lengths of 2 and 3. find the lengths of the remaining two sides. explain .

   8 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides on one side of the angle bisector are proportional to those on the other side. In the attached figure, that means

  AC/AB = CD/BD = 2/3

The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths, so is ...

  25 = AB + BC + AC

  25 = AB + 5 + (2/3)AB . . . . . . substituting AC = 2/3·AB. BC = 2+3 = 5.

  20 = 5/3·AB

  12 = AB

  AC = 2/3·12 = 8

Alternate solution

The sum of ratio units is 2+3 = 5, so each one must stand for 25/5 = 5 units of length.

That is, the total of lengths on one side of the angle bisector (AC+CD) is 2·5 = 10 units, and the total of lengths on the other side (AB+BD) is 3·5 = 15 units. Since 2 of the 10 units are in the segment being divided (CD), the other 8 must be in that side of the triangle (AC).

Likewise, 3 of the 15 units are in the segment being divided (BD), so the other 12 units are in that side of the triangle (AB).

The remaining sides of the triangle are AB=12 and AC=8.

answer: ratio of volume of cone (with 3 times the height and equal diameter) to volume of cylinder is 2 to 1. the value of π is not used.

step-by-step explanation:

radius is diameter/2 = 4.

area of circle is π r^2.

volume of cylinder is height × area of base = hπr^2 = 3(4^2) π = 48π cubic inches.

not knowing the formula for volume of cone, i calculate it using calculus (which is for calculating things).

volume of cone is integral 0 to h area(y) dy. area(y) is π r(y)^2. r(y) runs r to zero as y runs zero to h, r(0) = r, r(h) = 0.

r(y) = r - r/h y

area(y) = π (r - r/h y)^2 = π (r^2 - 2r^2y/h + r^2y^2/h^2) = π r^2(1-2y/h+y^2/h^2)

antiderivative area(y) = π r^2 (y-y^2/h+y^3/(3h^2))

integral 0 to h = π r^2(h-h^2/h+h^3/(3h^2) - (0)) = π r^2(h - h + h/3) = π r^2(h/3) = π/3 r^2 h

volume of this cone is π/3(4^2)18 cubic inches.

= 6 16 π = 96π cubic inches.

cone has twice the volume, 96/48.

cone height is 6 times the cylinder.

ratio of volume formula: π r^2 cancels.

cone over cylinder ratio is 6h/3 to h, 2 to 1.
