What are the coordinates of the midsegment that is parallel to side BC.

Mathematics

MariettaO [177]3 years ago

Answer:

Correct choice is D (1,0) and (-2,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle DBC has vertices B(-3,1), C(3,3) and D(-1,-3). By the triangle midline theorem, the midline joining the midpoints of two sides is parallel to the third side. Thus, you have to find the coordinates of the midpoints of the sides DB and DC of the triangle DBC.

Let point E be the midpoint of the side BD, then point E has coordinates \left(\dfrac{x_B+x_D}{2},\dfrac{y_B+y_D}{2}\right). If B(-3,1) and D(-1,-3), then

E\left(\dfrac{-3+(-1)}{2},\dfrac{1+(-3)}{2}\right)\Rightarrow E(-2,-1).

Let point F be the midpoint of the side DC, then point F has coordinates \left(\dfrac{x_C+x_D}{2},\dfrac{y_C+y_D}{2}\right). If C(3,3) and D(-1,-3), then

F\left(\dfrac{3+(-1)}{2},\dfrac{3+(-3)}{2}\right)\Rightarrow F(1,0).

18000h-25000

Then plug in h which is hours. To get your answer

B:

From May 7 at 8:00 a.m. to May 8 at 12 p.m. would be 28 hours.

So we plug in 28 for h and get our answer of 25400 gallons/hour
