Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In geometry (or math in general), when you do a reflection, rotation, or translation the size or length of the lines don't change. Think about it this way: if I have a log and I bring it into the bathroom with me (don't ask why idk) and hold it up in from of the mirror, what will happen? It will look the same length (and people will think I'm crazy for bringing a log into the restroom with me... but I digress).

Answer:

The answer is "A"

Step-by-step explanation:

A reflection across a line is a rigid transformation. Therefore the shape of the original object will not change. Because of this, you know that it would have the same length as the original line segment.

I hope this helps!!!!

At first, we will find the lengths of LK, Lm, ON, OP, then use them to find the ratios between them

The rule of the distance is

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

For LK

Since L = (3, 6), K = (1,5.33), then

$\begin{gathered} LK=\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(6-5.33)^2} \\ LK=\sqrt{4+0.4489} \\ LK=\sqrt{4.4489} \end{gathered}$

For LM

Since L = (3, 6), M = (5, 6.67), then

$\begin{gathered} LM=\sqrt{(3-5)^2+(6-6.67)^2} \\ LM=\sqrt{4+0.4489} \\ LM=\sqrt{4.4489} \end{gathered}$

For ON

Since O = (3, 2.59) and N = (5, 4.2), then

$\begin{gathered} ON=\sqrt{(3-5)^2+(2.59-4.2)} \\ ON=\sqrt{4+2.5921} \\ ON=\sqrt{6.5921} \end{gathered}$

For OP

Since O = (3, 2.59), P = (1, 0.99), then

$\begin{gathered} OP=\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(2.59-0.99)^2} \\ OP=\sqrt{4+2.56} \\ OP=\sqrt{6.56} \end{gathered}$

Now let us find the ratios between them

$\begin{gathered} \frac{KL}{LM}=\frac{\sqrt{4.4489}}{\sqrt{4.4489}}=1 \\ \frac{PO}{ON}=\frac{\sqrt{6.56}}{\sqrt{6.5921}}=0.9975\approx1 \\ \frac{KL}{LM}=\frac{PO}{ON}=1 \end{gathered}$

That means, Parallel lines intercept equal parts

By joining MP

We will have Triangle KPM

Since KL = LM ------- Proved using the distance formula

Since LQ // KP ------ Given

Then MQ = QP ------- Using the theorem down

The theorem

If a line is drawn from a midpoint of one side of a triangle parallel to the opposite side, then it will intersect the 3rd side in its midpoint (Q is the midpoint of MP)

Parallel lines intercept equal parts

People enjoyed attending the concert in the park. Twice as many men as women attended the concert. If the total attendance was 7

vazorg [7]

Hello! A way we could solve this equation is to divide 714 by three and then multiply the quotient by 2 to get the number of men that attended. 714/3 is 238. There were 238 women that attended the concert. 238 * 2 is 476. 476 + 238 = 714. There. There were 476 men that attended the concert.
