we know that

The midsegment of a trapezoid is the segment connecting the midpoints of the two non-parallel sides of the trapezoid, and is parallel to the pair of parallel sides.

In this problem

the two non-parallel sides of the trapezoid are AD and BC

Step 1

Find the midpoint side AD

Let

E-------> the midpoint AD

A(2,4)\ D(-2,-1)

Find the x-coordinate of the midpoint AD

x=\frac{2-2}{2}=0

Find the y-coordinate of the midpoint AD

y=\frac{4-1}{2}=1.5

the point E is equal to (0,1.5)

Step 2

Find the midpoint side BC

Let

F-------> the midpoint BC

B(7,4)\ C(9,-1)

Find the x-coordinate of the midpoint BC

x=\frac{9+7}{2}=8

Find the y-coordinate of the midpoint BC

y=\frac{4-1}{2}=1.5

the point F is equal to (8,1.5)

Step 3

Find the distance EF

we know that

The formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

we have

E(0,1.5)\ F(8,1.5)

substitute the values

d=\sqrt{(1.5-1.5)^{2}+(8-0)^{2}}

d=8\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the length of the midsegment of the trapezoid is 8\ units

I believe it is 8 because EF= \frac{AB+CD}{2} = EF= \frac{5+11}{2} =8

Given the similarity statement<br> AJKL ANOP, what's the<br> corresponding side of ON ?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

ON = KJ

Step-by-step explanation:

JKL = NOP

We know the angles match

<J = <N

<K = <O

< L = <P

And we know

JK = NO

KL =  OP

JL = NP

We are looking for ON = KJ

REASONING An even integer can be represented by the expression $2n$ , where $n$ is any integer. Find three consecutive even inte
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

First Integer = 16

Second Integer = 18

Third integer = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

An even integer is represented by 2n

Where n is any integer

Let :

First Integer = 2n - 2

Second Integer = 2n

Third integer = 2n + 2

The sum of three even consecutive numbers = 2n - 2 + 2n + 2n + 2

= 2n + 2n + 2n - 2 + 2 = 54

= 6n = 54

n = 54/6

n = 9

First Integer = 2n - 2 = 2(9) - 2

= 16

Second Integer = 2n = 2(9)

= 18

Third integer = 2n + 2 = 2(9) + 2

= 20

Mrs. Johnson put 22,250 miles
Viefleur [7K]

The change in quantities can be represented as percentage

<em>The percentage decrease in miles driven is 34.83%</em>

The given parameters are:

\mathbf{Initial = 22250}

\mathbf{Final = 14500}

The percentage decrease is calculated as:

\mathbf{\%Decrease = \frac{Final - Initial}{Initial} \times 100\%}

Substitute known values

\mathbf{\%Decrease = \frac{14500- 22250}{22250} \times 100\%}

\mathbf{\%Decrease = \frac{-7750}{22250} \times 100\%}

\mathbf{\%Decrease = \frac{-775000}{22250}  \%}

\mathbf{\%Decrease = -34.83 \%}

The negative sign implies that, the change represents a decrement.

Hence, the percentage decrease in miles driven is 34.83%
