Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that the diagonals bisect each other we should prove that they have a common point.

From the graph we notice that this point is E.

ABCD is a paralellogram, so E is the midpoint of both diagonals.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Let's start with AC.

● A(0,0)

● C(2a+2b,2c)

● E( (2a+2b+0)/2 , (2c+0)/2)

● E ( a+b, c)

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

BD:

● B(2b,2c)

● D(2a,0)

● E ( (2a+2b)/2 , 2c/2)

● E ( a+b ,c)

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

So we conclude that the diagonals bisect each others in E.

Ten young adults living in California rated the taste of a newly developed sushi pizza topped with tuna, rice, and kelp on a sca

timurjin [86]

Answer: For California: μ = 33.1; σ² = 1120.50; Range = 32;

For Iowa: μ = 24.5; σ² = 32.73; Range = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the average of a population or a sample. It is defined as

μ = ∑x / n, where

x is each number of the set;

n is the total individuals in the sample.

Calculating the Mean for sample of taste of pizza in California:

μ₁ = $\frac{34+39+40+46+33+31+34+14+15+45}{10}$ = 33.1

Calculating the Mean for the sample in Iowa:

μ₂ = $\frac{28+25+35+16+25+29+24+26+17+20}{10}$ = 24.5

Variance measures how far the number in the set is from the mean. Its formula is

σ² = (∑x-μ)² / n -1

which means to find the variance, you have to get the difference between the number and the mean, square the result, add all of them and then divide by (n-1) individuals.

The Variance for the sample in California is

σ² = $\frac{(34 - 33.1)^{2}+(39-33.1)^{2}+(40-33.1)^{2}+(46-33.1)^{2}+(33-33.1)^{2}+(34-33.1)^{2}+(14-33.1)^{2}+(15-33.1)^{2}+(45-33.1)^{2}}{9}$ σ² = 120.50

The Variance for the sample in Iowa is

σ² = 32.73

Range is the difference between the highest and the lowest number of the set: range = highest - lowest

For the sample in California, the Range is

range = 46 - 14 = 32

For the sample in Iowa:

range = 35 - 16 = 19

For California:

Mean = 33.1;
Variance = 120.50;
Range = 32;

For Iowa:

Mean = 24.5;
Variance = 32.73;
Range = 19;

Consider isosceles ΔXYZ.

Rom4ik [11]

A triangle is a three-edged polygon with three vertices. It is a fundamental form in geometry. The length of the legs XY and YZ is equal to 39 units.

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle is a three-edged polygon with three vertices. It is a fundamental form in geometry. The sum of all the angles of a triangle is always equal to 180°. An isosceles triangle has two sides out of three equal.

A.) The value of n can be found by equating XY and XZ together,

XY = XZ

9n + 12 = 15n - 6

12 + 6 = 15n - 9n

18 = 6n

n = 3

Hence, the value of n is 3.

The length of different legs of the triangle is,

B.) XY = 9n + 12 = 9(3) + 12 = 27 + 12 = 39

C.) YZ = 15n - 6 = 15(3) - 6 = 45 - 6 = 39

Hence, the length of the legs XY and YZ is equal to 39 units.
