To prove that the diagonals are congruent, you need to formula to compute the distance between two points:

d(A,B) = \sqrt{(A_x-B_x)^2 + (A_y-B_y)^2}

Using that formula, you may prove that d(C,E) = d(D,F), which means that the two diagonals have the same length.

To prove that they are perpendicular, you need the formula to compute the slope of a segment. The slope, knowing the enpoints, is given by

m = \cfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \cfrac{A_y-B_y}{A_x-B_x}

You can use this formula to prove that

m_{CE} = -\cfrac{1}{m_{DF}}

In fact, if one slope is the opposite of the reciprocal of the other, the two segments are perpendicular.

Finally, to prove that they bisect each other, you first need to find the point where they meet. First of all, you need to find the line the segments lie on: the formula is

y-y_0 = m(x-x_0)

where (x_0,y_0) is one of the points belonging to the line, and you already know how to find the slope. Then, you find the point of intersection, say A, by solving the system involving the two lines:

\begin{cases} y= m_{CE}x+q_{CE}\\ y = m_{DF}x+q_{DF} \end{cases}

And use again the formula for the distance between two points to prove that

d(A,C) = d(A,D) = d(A,E) = d(A,F)

To the nearest tenth, which is the BEST estimate for the volume of the given pyramid?
mixer [17]

Answer:

4.2 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

Volume of the rectangular pyramid = BH/3

B is the base area

H is the height of the pyramid

Given

Base area = 3.2in * 1.4in

Base area = 4.48sq. in

Height = 2.8in

Volume of the rectangular pyramid = 4.48*2.8/3

Volume of the rectangular pyramid = 12.544/3

Volume of the rectangular pyramid = 4.2 cubic inches

Im struggling with this one as well could someone help out?
guapka [62]
The reflection is happening over the x axis (horizontal axis)

Any y coordinate that is positive turns negative, and vice versa

For example: (1,2) ---> (1,-2)

In general, the rule is (x,y) ---> (x,-y)

So the answer is choice C
