Answer:

* The equation of the median of the trapezoid is 10x + 6y = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The slope of the line whose end points are (x1 , y1) , (x2 , y2) is

  m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

- The mid point of the line whose end point are (x1 , y1) , (x2 , y2) is

  (\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})

- The standard form of the linear equation is Ax + BC = C, where

  A , B , C are integers and A , B ≠ 0

- The median of a trapezoid is a segment that joins the midpoints of

 the nonparallel sides

- It has two properties:

# It is parallel to both bases

# Its length equals half the sum of the base lengths

* Lets solve the problem

- The trapezoid has vertices R (-1 , 5) , S (! , 8) , T (7 , -2) , U (2 , 0)

- Lets find the slope of the 4 sides two find which of them are the

 parallel bases and which of them are the non-parallel bases

# The side RS

∵ m_{RS}=\frac{8-5}{1 - (-1)}=\frac{3}{2}

# The side ST

∵ m_{ST}=\frac{-2-8}{7-1}=\frac{-10}{6}=\frac{-5}{3}

# The side TU

∵ m_{TU}=\frac{0-(-2)}{2-7}=\frac{2}{-5}=\frac{-2}{5}

# The side UR

∵ m_{UR}=\frac{5-0}{-1-2}=\frac{5}{-3}=\frac{-5}{3}

∵ The slope of ST = the slop UR

∴ ST// UR

∴ The parallel bases are ST and UR

∴ The nonparallel sides are RS and TU

- Lets find the midpoint of RS and TU to find the equation of the

 median of the trapezoid

∵ The median of a trapezoid is a segment that joins the midpoints of

   the nonparallel sides

∵ The midpoint of RS = (\frac{-1+1}{2},\frac{5+8}{2})=(0,\frac{13}{2})

∵ The median is parallel to both bases

∴ The slope of the median equal the slopes of the parallel bases = -5/3

∵ The form of the equation of a line is y = mx + c

∴ The equation of the median is y = -5/3 x + c

- To find c substitute x , y in the equation by the coordinates of the

  midpoint of RS  

∵ The mid point of Rs is (0 , 13/2)

∴ 13/2 = -5/3 (0) + c

∴ 13/2 = c

∴ The equation of the median is y = -5/3 x + 13/2

- Multiply the two sides by 6 to cancel the denominator

∴ The equation of the median is 6y = -10x + 39

- Add 10x to both sides

∴ The equation of the median is 10x + 6y = 39

* The equation of the median of the trapezoid is 10x + 6y = 39

A salad bar offers vegetable platters in 4 sizes (small, medium, large, and super-sized) and 6 different vegetables to choose fr
quester [9]

Answer: She could create 60 platters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A salad bar offers vegetable platters in 4 sizes (small, medium, large, and super-sized) and 6 different vegetables to choose from.

Number of combinations of selecting <em>r</em> things from <em>n</em> things is given by:-

^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

So, the number of combinations of selecting 2 different vegetables from 6 = ^6C_2=\dfrac{6!}{2!4!}=\dfrac{6\times5}{2}=15

Now, By Fundamental counting principle, the number of different platters she could create = (number of ways of selecting 2 different vegetables from 6) x (Number of sizes)

= 15 x 4

= 60

Hence, she could create 60 platters.

Please please help me please help please please help me please help please
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Perimeter is 17.07

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that DF = EF = 5 cm, since D and E are the midpoints of AC and AB, both of which are 10 cm in length.

We need to use the Pythagorean theorem to get the length of DE.

DE = \sqrt{5^{2} +5^{2}}=\sqrt{50}  = 7.07\\

So the perimeter of DEF is 5 + 5 + 7.07 = 17.07

Answer:

(c, b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the coordinates together and divide by 2

x coordinates: 2c + 0 = 2c, divided by 2 = c

y coordinates: 0 + 2b = 2b, divided by 2 = b
