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

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).

If 10 percent of x is 20 what is 23 percent of x
Zarrin [17]
X = 200 because when finding 10% of s number we divide the number to 10. then you find 23 percent of 200. which is 46, because percentages are found out of 100 and 200 is 100 multiplied by 2. So we have to multiply 23 by 2. the answer is 46.
