The length of the midsegment of a triangle is always half the length of the side it is parallel to true or false

True. The midsegment of a triangle is halfway up the triangle, and since the top half and the full triangle are similar triangles, its dimensions are proportional.

This means half the height will give half the base (midsegment). So the midsegment is always half the length of the side it's parallel to.

What is the equation of the line that passes through (–2, 3) and is parallel to 2x + 3y = 6?

sergeinik [125]

If they are parallel then the coefficients of x and y will remain the same. Only the constant will change.

2x + 3y = ?
2(-2) +3(3) = -4 + 9 = 5 so ? is 5

ANSWER: 2x + 3y = 5

15. If x=a Sin2t (I+Cos2t) and y=b Cos 2t (1-Cos2t) then find dy/dx at =22/7*4

Sav [38]

By the chain rule,

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}\dfrac{\mathrm dt}{\mathrm dx}\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}}{\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}}$
