Given: MNOK is a trapezoid, MN=OK, m∠M=60°, NK ⊥ MN , MK=16cm Find: The midsegment of MNOK
1 answer:
Answer:
12 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Consider right triangle MNK. In this triangle angle N is right and m∠M=60°, then m∠K=30°. Thus, this triangle is special 30°-60°-90° right triangle with legs MN and NK and hypotenuse MK=16 cm. The leg MN is opposite to the angle with measure of 30°, then this leg is half of the hypotenuse, MN=8 cm.
2. Consider right triangle MNH, where NH is the height of trapezoid drawn from the point N. In this triangle m∠M=60°, angle H is right, then m∠N=30°. Similarly, the leg MH is half of the hypotenuse MN, MH=4 cm.
3. Trapezoid MNOK is isosceles, because MN=OK=8 cm. This means that NO=MK-2MH=16-8=8 cm.
4. The midsegment of the trapezoid is

part A
the x intercept 0 is the point where the ball was hit, the x intercept 20 is the point where the ball fell back to the ground, 20 feet away from the kicker.
<span>the function is increasing in the interval x∈(0, 10) and decreasing in x∈(10, 20) </span>
this means that the height is increasing in the interval (0, 10) and decreasing as x goes through the interval (10,20)
the distance from the kicker is increasing during the whole interval (0, 20)
part B
the rate of change represents the slope of the secant line from A to B. It approximates the rate at which f(x) decreases or increases in the interval
x =[A, B]
