Triangle def has vertices d(2,-5) e(6,-1) and f(5,6) verify that def is isosceles
1 answer:
To prove that the given triangle is an isosceles, two of its sides must have equal lengths.
Between D(2,-5) and E(6,-1):
d = √(6 - 2)² + (-1 - ⁻5)² = 4√2
Between E(6,-1) and F(5,6):
d = √(5 - 6)² + (6 - ⁻1)² = 5√2
Between D(2,-5) and F(5,6)
d = √(5 - 2)² + (6 - ⁻5)² = √130
<em>Since there are no equal lengths, the triangle is NOT an isosceles triangle.</em>
The bisector of angle F is a line segment from vertex F to the midpoint of line DE.
Midpoint: x = (2+6)/2 = 4; y = (-5+-1)/2 = -3
The midpoint is at (4,-3).
The equation of the line follows the point-slope formula:
y - y₁ = [(y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)](x - x₁)
Substituting using points (5,6) and (4,-3)
y - 6 = [(⁻3 - 6)/(4 - 6)](x - 5)
y - 6 = (9/2)(x - 5)
2(y - 6) = 9(x - 5)
2y - 12 = 9x - 45
<em>2y - 9x = -33 </em>
Between D(2,-5) and E(6,-1):
d = √(6 - 2)² + (-1 - ⁻5)² = 4√2
Between E(6,-1) and F(5,6):
d = √(5 - 6)² + (6 - ⁻1)² = 5√2
Between D(2,-5) and F(5,6)
d = √(5 - 2)² + (6 - ⁻5)² = √130

Answer:
If we assume that everyone in the group is an owner, we would have
legs.
legs
Therefore, we need 24 more legs.
These 24 additional legs can be made from the difference of legs between the owners and dogs.
In this case, dogs have more legs than an owner.
24 ÷ 2 = 12.
There are 12 dogs in the group.
