A scientist mixes water (containing no salt) with a solution that contains 40% salt. She wants to obtain 240 ounces of a mixture that is 5% salt. How many ounces of water and how many ounces of the 40% salt solution should she use. Water: ___ ounces

Salt solution: ___ ounces

The proof is mentioned below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, Δ ABC is isosceles triangle.

Therefore, AB = BC

Prove: Δ ABO ≅ Δ ACO

In Δ ABO and Δ ACO,

∠ BAO ≅ ∠ CAO  ( AO bisects ∠ BAC )

∠ AOB ≅ ∠ AOC ( AO is perpendicular to BC )

BO ≅ OC ( O is the mid point of BC)

Thus, By ASA postulate of congruence,

Δ ABO ≅ Δ ACO

Therefore, By CPCTC,

∠B ≅ ∠ C

Where ∠ B and ∠ C are the base angles of Δ ABC.
