Gina wrote the following paragraph to prove that the segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the

third side: Given: ΔABC Prove: The midsegment between sides Line segment AB and Line segment BC is parallel to side Line segment AC. Draw ΔABC on the coordinate plane with point A at the origin (0, 0). Let point B have the ordered pair (x1, y1) and locate point C on the x-axis at (x2, 0). Point D is the midpoint of Line segment AB with coordinates at Ordered pair the quantity 0 plus x sub 1, divided by 2. The quantity 0 plus y sub 1, divided by 2 by the Midpoint Formula. Point E is the midpoint of Line segment BC with coordinates of Ordered pair the quantity x sub 1 plus x sub 2, divided by 2. The quantity 0 plus y sub 1, divided by 2 by the Midpoint Formula. The slope of Line segment DE is found to be 0 through the application of the slope formula: The difference of y sub 2 and y sub 1, divided by the difference of x sub 2 and x sub 1 is equal to the difference of the quantity 0 plus y sub 1, divided by 2, and the quantity 0 plus y sub 1, divided by 2, divided by the difference of the quantity x sub 1 plus x sub 2, divided by 2 and the quantity 0 plus x sub 1, divided by 2 is equal to 0 divided by the quantity x sub 2 divided by 2 is equal to 0 When the slope formula is applied to Line segment AC the difference between y sub 2 and y sub 1, divided by the difference of x sub 2 and x sub 1 is equal to the difference of 0 and 0, divided by the difference of x sub 2 and 0 is equal to 0 divided by x sub 2 is equal to 0, its slope is also 0. Since the slope of Line segment DE and Line segment AC are identical, Line segment DE and Line segment AC are parallel by the Parallel Postulate. Which statement corrects the flaw in Gina's proof? The coordinates of D and E were found using the slope formula. Segments DE and AC are parallel by definition of parallel lines. The coordinates of D and E were found using the Distance between Two Points Postulate The slope of segments DE and AC is not 0.

A ball has a mass of 3g and a volume of 6 cm3. It's density is what
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

float

Step-by-step explanation:

density = mass/voume

3g/6c.m. ^3

0.5g/c.m.^3 = 0.5g/mL^3

Since the density of water is about 1g/mL^3 and 0.5g/mL^3 is less than that, it will float

What is the solution set for the open sentence with the given replacement set? x2 + 2 = x + 8, {1, 3, 4, 5}
bonufazy [111]
X^2 + 2 = x + 8
x^2 - x + 2 - 8 = 0
x^2 - x - 6 = 0
Input 1 => 1^2 - 1 - 6 = 1 - 1 - 6 = -6
Input 3 => 3^2 - 3 - 6 = 9 - 3 - 6 = 0
Input 4 => 4^2 - 4 - 6 = 16 - 4 - 6 = 6
Input 5 => 5^2 - 5 - 6 = 25 - 5 - 6 = 14

Solution set { -6, 0, 6, 14}
