Please explain it is no where given that the triangle is an equilateral triangle so why have we assumed that ..
Also it is no where stated that the perimeter needs to a least.
It is very misguiding and confusing to make such assumptions

Hi, Please help clarifying Is triangle ABC an isosceles triangle? (1) AD = DC (2) The area of triangle ABD equals the area of triangle BDC As per the Variable Method discussed by the Math Revolution since there are 3 variable AB , AC and BC in the original condition but the statement 1 and statement...

Hello All, Also as per the Variable Method discussed by the Math Revolution since there are 3 variable AB , AC and BC in the original condition but the statement 1 and statement 2 give one one equation each which means we have 3 variables and 2 equations . So in this case the ans options should have...

Hi
I did not get the following point "If this triangle was an equilateral triangle, statement one and two would have also been true. So why are they sufficient? "
please help me explain

Dear All,
Request you to please guide me how can we assume it to be quadrilateral when it is not that the two lines are parallel . As we have learnt in the basic that we should not assume seeing the figure then can we infer that the two lines are parallel.

Hello Together, Please clarify as I believe answer should be option B not D because When solve statement 1 we get 2 values of W and L i.e when l = 10 then W = 4 and when W = 4 then l =10 since this statement does lock L and W to have one particular value I believe it is insufficient and Option B sho...
