The coordinates of the midpoint of AB is (4.5, -1.5)
We can find this by taking the average of each coordinate. The average of the x's (2 and 7) is 4.5, while the average of the y's (-4 and 1) is -1.5.
The coordinates of the midpoint of CD is (-5.5, 1)
We can find this by taking the average of the coordinates as we did in the first one. The average of the x's (-3 and -8) is -5.5, while the average of the y's (-2 and 4) is 1.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A 45 degree angle in a right triangle produces 2 equal sides. In this case z and the perpendicular line are equal. So that's were we'll start. Then you move on to the 60 degree angle to get x and y.
Finding z
z^2 + z^2 = (24√2) Combine the left
2z^2 = 24^2 * 2 Divide both sides by 2
2z^2/2 = 24^2/2
z^2 = 24^2 Take the square root of both sides
√z^2 = √24^2
z = 24
Finding x and y
The perpendicular = 24. Because it is a 60 degree angle that's given, we can do this without a calculator.
Tan 60 = opposite over adjacent
sqrt(3) = Perpendicular / z Multiply both sides by z
z*sqrt(3) = perpendicular
The above calculation tells us the perpendicular is 24
z*sqrt(3) = 24 Divide by sqrt 3
z = 24/√3
z = 24/1.73
z = 8√3
Finding x
Use Pythagoras to determine x
Perpendicular^2 + (8√3)^2 = x^2
24^2 + 8^2*3 = x^2
576 + 192 = x^2
768 = x^2
√x^2 = √768
x = 27.71
In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are congruent. The third angle is called the vertex angle.
Here, the vertex angle is <A.
Therefore, m<C = m<B.
m<A = 3m<B + 20
m<A + m<B + m<C = 180
3m<B + 20 + m<B + m<B = 180
5m<B + 20 = 180
5m<B = 160
m<B = 32
m<C = m<B = 32
Answer: m<C = 32 deg
