<span>By definition, lines are parallel if they have the same gradient (slope). Any horizontal line has a gradient of 0, so it is parallel to any other horizontal line</span>
Answer:
AY = 16
IY = 9
FG = 30
PA = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>The </em><em>centroid </em><em>of the triangle </em><em>divides each median</em><em> at the ratio </em><em>1: 2</em><em> from </em><em>the base</em>
Let us solve the problem
In Δ AFT
∵ Y is the centroid
∵ AP, TI, and FG are medians
→ By using the rule above
∴ Y divides AP at ratio 1: 2 from the base FT
∴ AY = 2 YP
∵ YP = 8
∴ AY = 2(8)
∴ AY = 16
∵ PA = AY + YP
∴ AP = 16 + 8
∴ AP = 24
∵ Y divides TI at ratio 1: 2 from the base FA
∴ TY = 2 IY
∵ TY = 18
∴ 18 = 2
→ Divide both sides by 2
∴ 9 = IY
∴ IY = 9
∵ Y divides FG at ratio 1:2 from the base AT
∴ FY = 2 YG
∵ FY = 20
∴ 20 = 2 YG
→ Divide both sides by 2
∴ 10 = YG
∴ YG = 10
∵ FG = YG + FY
∴ FG = 10 + 20
∴ FG = 30
Answer:
4 cannot be the measure of the third side. This is because of the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that the sum of two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side (A+B>C, A+C>B, B+C>A) In this example, if side C were 4, side C (4) plus side A (8) would be 12. Since side B is 12, and 12 cannot be greater than 12, 4 would not work.
