CE ⊥ CF because m∠ECA + m∠FCA = 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

In ∆ABC

  • On the extension of the side BC , draw a line segment CD ≅ CA
  • Draw the segment AD
  • The line segment CE is the angle bisector of ∠ACB
  • The line segment CF is the median towards AD in ∆ ACD

We want to prove that CF ⊥ CE

Look to the attached figure

In Δ ABC

∵ CE is the bisector of angle ACB

∴ ∠ACE ≅ ∠BCE

In Δ ACD

∵ CA = CD

∴ Δ ACD is an isosceles triangle

∵ AD is the median towards AD

- In any isosceles triangle the median from a vertex to its opposite

  side bisects this vertex

∴ AD bisects ∠ACD

∴ ∠ACF ≅ ∠DCF

∵ BCD is a straight segment

∵ CE , CA , CF are drawn from point C

∴ m∠BCE + m∠ACE + m∠ACF + m∠DCF = 180°

∵ m∠ACE ≅ m∠BCE

∵ m∠ACF ≅ m∠DCF

- Replace m∠BCE by m∠ACE and m∠DCF by m∠ACF

∴ m∠ACE + m∠ACE + m∠ACF + m∠ACF = 180°

∴ 2 m∠ACE + 2 m∠ACF = 180°

- Divide all terms by 2

∴ m∠ACE + m∠ACF = 90°

∴ EC ⊥ CF

CE ⊥ CF because m∠ECA + m∠FCA = 90°

trasher [3.6K]
The radius is 2 yards... 
Formula for circumference is \pi r^2 so divide your circumference by 3.14 or pi and you get 4 the square root of 4 is 2.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

3x-x+2=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Children = x

Adults = y

x + y = 754...1

1.50x + 2.25y = 1422...2

Multiply (1) by 2.25

2.25x + 2.25y = 1696.50...3

1.50x + 2.25y = 1422...2

Subtract (2) from (3)

0.75x = 274.50

x = 366

Substitute x = 366 in (1)

x + y = 754

366 + y = 754

y = 388

366 children and 388 adults swam at the pool.
