Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Δ QPR ≅ ∠ STR

i) $\frac{QP}{ST} = \frac{QR}{SR} = \frac{PR}{TR}$

ii )∠ PRQ = ∠ TRS ( Both are 90° since QR ⊥ PT )

iii) ∠ RPQ = ∠ STR ( same side ratio from (i) )

Hence it is proved that

Δ PQR $\sim$ Δ TSR

Find the coordinates of the circumcenter for ∆DEF with coordinates D(1,1) E (7,1) and F(1,5). Show your work

crimeas [40]

Draw an accurate picture of the points in the coordinate axis, as shown in the figure.

D, F have equal x coordinate, so DF is perpendicular to the x-axis.
D, E have equal x coordinate, so DE is perpendicular to the y-axis.

this means DF and DE are perpendicular, so DEF is a right triangle, with m(D)=90°.

Let A be the midpoint of DF. The x coordinate of A is 1 and the y coordinate can be found as follows:

subtract the y coordinate of D from the y coordinate of F, that is 5-1=4.
Divide by 2 and add to the y coordinate of D, that is 4/2+1=2+1=3 is the y coordinate of A.

Let B be the midpoint of DE, follow the previous procedure to find the coordinates of B.

A(1, 3) and B(4, 1).

draw the perpendicular through A and the perpendicular through B, thet meet at point C(4, 3), which is the circumcenter.

Answer: C(4, 3)
