Given:

M=(x1, y1)=(-2,-1),

N=(x2, y2)=(3,1),

M'=(x3, y3)= (0,2),

N'=(x4, y4)=(5, 4).

We can prove MN and M'N' have the same length by proving that the points form the vertices of a parallelogram.

For a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal

If we prove that the quadrilateral MNN'M' forms a parallellogram, then MN and M'N' will be the oppposite sides. So, we can prove that MN=M'N'.

To prove MNN'M' is a parallelogram, we have to first prove that two pairs of opposite sides are parallel,

Slope of MN= Slope of M'N'.

Slope of MM'=NN'.

\begin{gathered} \text{Slope of MN=}\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\ =\frac{1-(-1)}{3-(-2)} \\ =\frac{2}{5} \\ \text{Slope of M'N'=}\frac{y4-y3}{x4-x3} \\ =\frac{4-2}{5-0} \\ =\frac{2}{5} \end{gathered}

Hence, slope of MN=Slope of M'N' and therefore, MN parallel to M'N'

\begin{gathered} \text{Slope of MM'=}\frac{y3-y1}{x3-x1} \\ =\frac{4-(-1)}{5-(-2)} \\ =\frac{3}{2} \\ \text{Slope of NN'=}\frac{y4-y2}{x4-x2} \\ =\frac{4-1}{5-3} \\ =\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}

Hence, slope of MM'=Slope of NN' nd therefore, MM' parallel to NN'.

Since both pairs of opposite sides of MNN'M' are parallel, MM'N'N is a parallelogram.

Since the opposite sides are of equal length in a parallelogram, it is proved that segments MN and M'N' have the same length.

A bag contains pennies, nickels, nickels, and nickels. There are 50 coins in total. Of the coins, 14% are pennies and 34% are di
Alborosie

answer:

8 pennies,16 dimes,13 nickels,13 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of coins = 50

16% are pennies

16% of 50

16/100 x 50=(16x50)/100=800/100=8

Pennies = 8

32% are dimes

32% of 50

32/100 x 50=(32x50)/100=1600/100=16

Dimes = 16

5 more nickels than pennies

Pennies = 8

nickels = 8 + 5 = 13

nickels = 13

8+16+13=37

50 - 37 = 13

13 quarters

pennies = 8, dimes = 16, nickels = 13, quarters = 13

19. If the pg", and "terms of an A.P. are a,b, and c respectively. prove that: p(b-c) + (ca) + rſa-b) = 0 50 Approved by Curricu
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:a = m + (p-1)*d

b = m + (q-1)*d

c = m + (r-1)*d

p(b-c) = p*(q-r)*d

q(c-a) = q*(r-p)*d

r(a-b) = r*(p-q)*d

p(b-c)+q(c-a)+r(a-b)

= p*(q-r)*d + q*(r-p)*d +r*(p-q)*d

= (pq-pr+qr-pq+rp-qr)*d

= 0*d = 0

So i prove p(b-c)+q(c-a)+r(a-b)=0 hope this is helpfull
