Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In ΔPQR, the coordinates of the vertices are P(0, 0), Q(2a, 0), and R(2b, 2c).

To prove: The line containing the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side.

Proof: In ΔPQR, the coordinates of the vertices are P(0, 0), Q(2a, 0), and R(2b, 2c).

Let, A, B and C be the mid-points of PQ, PR and QR respectively. Thus, the coordinates of S are:

A=(\frac{0+2a}{2},\frac{0+0}{2})=(a,0)

The coordinates of B are:

B=(\frac{0+2b}{2},\frac{0+2c}{2})=(b,c)

And the coordinates of C are:

C=(\frac{2a+2b}{2},\frac{0+2c}{2})=(a+b,c)

Now, slope of AB is given as:

s={\frac{c-0}{b-a}}={\frac{c}{b-a}}

And slope of QR is given as:

s={\frac{2c-0}{2b-2a}}={\frac{c}{b-a}}

Since the slopes of AB and QR are equal, hence they must be parallel.

Hence proved.

Also, Since A is the midpoint of PQ, therefore teh coordinates are:

A=(\frac{0+2a}{2},\frac{0+0}{2})=(a,0)

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Part A)

Multiply the amount he earned by 8.5%

8.5% written as a decimal is 0.085.

75,000 x 0.085 = $6,375

Part B)

Subtract the amount of tax from his earnings:

75,000 - 6,375 = $68,625
