Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago

Answer:

Statements                                                      Reasons

AC+CD=AD and AB+BD=AD         Segment Addition Postulate

AC+CD=AB+BD                            Transitive/Substitution Property

AC=BD                                         Given

BD+CD=AB+BD                            Substitution Property

CD=AB                                         Subtraction Property

AB=CD                                         Symmetric Property

Step-by-step explanation:

By segment addition postulate, we can say the following two equations:

AC+CD=AD and AB+BD=AD.

By either substitution/transitive property, you can say AC+CD=AB+BD.

You are given AC=BD, so we use substitution and write AC+CD=AB+AC.

After using subtraction property (subtracting both sides by AC), you obtain CD=AB.

By symmetric property, you may say AB=CD.

So let's write it into the 2 column-proof you have there:

Statements                                                      Reasons

AC+CD=AD and AB+BD=AD        Segment Addition Postulate

AC+CD=AB+BD                            Transitive/Substitution Property

AC=BD                                          Given

BD+CD=AB+BD                             Substitution Property

CD=AB                                          Subtraction Property

AB=CD                                          Symmetric Property

Properties/Postulates used:

Transitive property which says:

If a=b and b=c, then a=c.

Substitution property which says:

If a=b, then b can be substituted(replaced with) for a.

Subtraction property which says:

a=b implies a-c=b-c.

Segment Addition Postulate says:

If you break a segment into two smaller pieces then the measurement of that segment is equal to the sum of the smaller two segments' measurements.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

D. A\subset \mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the set

A=\left\{(2,3),\ (5,1),\ (-3,-2),\ (0,3)\right\}

This set consists of four ordered pairs.

The first numbers in these pairs are 2,\ 5,\ -3,\ 0. These numbers are integer numbers (not natural, because -3 is negative).

The second numbers in these pairs are 3,\ 1,\ -2,\ 3. These numbers are integer numbers too (not natural, because -2 is negative).

Options contain only natural and real sets, so, the first and the second numbers are real numbers and

A\subset \mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}.
