HELP ASAP The length of a side in a triangle is 24 in. a line parallel to that side divides the triangle into two parts of equal area. Find the length of the segment cut from the parallel line by the other two sides of the triangle.

48 / 6 = x

in this case, x will equal the amount of money in each card!

x therefore will be 8.

trent had $8 in each birthday card.

answer: the angel abc is 30°,and the abc is a triangle where the angel bac is 90°

so ac is the half of 24=12ft,and from the pythagorean theorem we find ba

ba=√bc^2-ac^2=√576-144=√432=12√3ft

so bac is 12+12√3=12(1+√3)ft
