Given: AE ≅ CE ; DE ≅ BE Prove: ABCD is a parallelogram. Parallelogram A B C D is shown. Diagonals are drawn from point A to poi

nt C and from point D to point B and intersect at point E. Line segments A E and E C are congruent. Line segments D E and E B are congruent. We have that AB || DC. By a similar argument used to prove that △AEB ≅ △CED, we can show that △ ≅ △CEB by. So, ∠CAD ≅ ∠ by CPCTC. Therefore, AD || BC by the converse of the theorem. Since both pair of opposite sides are parallel, quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

Answer:

The proof is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a parallelogram ABCD. Diagonals AC and BD intersect at E. We have to prove that AE is congruent to CE and BE is congruent to DE i.e diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

In ΔACD and ΔBEC

AD=BC              (∵Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)

∠DAC=∠BCE       (∵Alternate angles)

∠ADC=∠CBE        (∵Alternate angles)

By ASA rule, ΔACD≅ΔBEC

By CPCT(Corresponding Parts of Congruent triangles)

AE=EC and DE=EB

Hence, AE is conruent to CE and BE is congruent to DE

Find all solutions in the interval [0,2pi).<br><br> cos 2x + sqrt(2) sinx=1

<span>cos 2x + sqrt(2) sinx=1
</span><span>
Note that: cos 2x = cos^2x - sin^2x = (1-sin^2x) - sin^2x = 1 - 2sin^2x.
So, when alternatively written, you have the following equation:

</span>- 2sin^2x + sqrt(2)sinx + 1 = 1
- 2sin^2x + sqrt(2)sinx = 0

Then, let z=sin(x). So you get,

- 2z^2 + sqrt(2)z = 0
z(- 2z + sqrt(2)) = 0

Either z=0, or - 2z + sqrt(2) = 0 --->  z=sqrt(2)/2.
Then, since z=0 or z=sqrt(2)/2, therefore sin(x)=0, or sin(x)=sqrt(2)/2.

Then, for you remains just to list the angles. (Let me know if this is not fair or if you got questions.)

Describe two different strategies you could use to add 16 + 35 + 24 + 14.​
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

1. Make a table

2. Combine numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

First what you need to do is make a table making 2 columns, then name them tens and one. Put the tens place in the tens column and put the ones place in the ones column. Then, put all the numbers mentioned (16, 35, 24, 14) in the table and add the tens then add the ones!

Another strategy you can use is combining numbers. With 35 and 16 you can combine them to make 51. Then combine 24 and 14 to make 38. Then you add 51 and 38 to get 89.

I hope this helped your homework!
