Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The triangle with coordinate A(4,6), B(2,-2) and C(-2,-4). D is the mid point of AB and E is the mid point of AC.

To prove: DE is parallel to BC.

Construction: Join DE.

Proof: If we prove the basic proportionality theorem that is \frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}, then it proves that DE is parallel to BC.

Now, Mid Point D has coordinates=(\frac{4+2}{2},\frac{6-2}{2})=(3,2) and Mid Point E has coordinates=(\frac{4-2}{2},\frac{6-4}{2})=(1,1)

Now, AD= \sqrt{(4-3)^{2}+(6-2)^{2}}=\sqrt{17}

DB=\sqrt{(3-2)^{2}+(2+2)^{2}}=\sqrt{17}

AE=\sqrt{(4-1)^{2}+(6-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{34}

EC=\sqrt{(1+2)^{2}+(1+4)^{2}}=\sqrt{34}

Now, \frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}

=\frac{\sqrt{17}}{\sqrt{17}}=\frac{\sqrt{34}}{\sqrt{34}}=\frac{1}{1}

Hence, \frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}

Thus, By basic proportionality theorem, DE is parallel to BC.

Step-by-step explanation:

If DE and BC are parallel, then they have the same slope.

We have

A(4, 6), B(2, -2), C(-2, -4)

The formula of a midpoint:

\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\ \dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)

D is the midpoint of AB, and E is a midpoint of AC.

Calculate the coordinateso fo D and E:

D\left(\dfrac{4+2}{2},\ \dfrac{6+(-2)}{2}\right)\to D\left(\dfrac{6}{2},\ \dfrac{4}{2}\right)\to D(3,\ 2)\\\\E\left(\dfrac{4+(-2)}{2},\ \dfrac{6+(-4)}{2}\right)\to E\left(\dfrac{2}{2},\ \dfrac{2}{2}\right)\to E(1,\ 1)

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Calculate the formula of a DE and BC:

DE:\\\\m_{DE}=\dfrac{2-1}{3-1}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\BC:\\\\m_{BC}=\dfrac{-4-(-2)}{-2-2}=\dfrac{-4+2}{-4}=\dfrac{-2}{-4}=\dfrac{1}{2}

The slope DE and the slope BC are the same.

Therefore DE is parallel to BC.

Natalka [10]

Answer: Rounded: 350 miles/inch

Exactly 352 miles per inch.

Step-by-step explanation: Divide the miles by the inches to find miles per inch.

880/2.5 = 352.

It would make sense to round that to say the scale is 350 miles per inch.

One inch represents 350 miles

Answer:

B. a^2x

Step-by-step explanation:

squaring a^x gives. (a^x)²

by applying the rules of indices, ^2 multiplies x therefore making it a^2x
