Answer : Explained.


Step-by-step explanation: As given in the question and shown in the attached figure, ΔABC be the large triangular stone that Mei wants to divide into four smaller triangular stepping stones in a pathway.

Let D, E and F be the mid-points of the sides BC, CA and AB respectively. Then, DE, EF and FD are the mid-segments of ΔABC.

Then  , we have

4 × Area of ΔDEF = 4 ×Area of ΔFBD = 4 × ΔAFE = 4 × Area of ΔECD = Area of ΔABC.

Thus, we have

ΔDEF ≅ ΔFBD ≅ ΔAFE ≅ ΔECD.

Thus, in this way, cutting along mid-segments creates four congruent stepping stones.

The area of circle 1 is 6 square units. The area of circle 2 is 7 square units. Which of the following is true about the circumf
miskamm [114]

Answer:

C. The circumference of circle 1 is less than the circumference of circle 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

6<7

We know that the formula for the area of a circle is πr². This means the greater the radius, the greater the area.

We also know that the formula for circumference is 2πr. It is also dependent on radius. The greater the radius, the greater the circumference.

Given that Circle 2 has a greater area, this means that it has a greater radius which in turn means that it has a greater circumference.

C. The circumference of circle 1 is less than the circumference of circle 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\2x^2-4x-9=0\qquad|\text{add 9 to both sides}\\\\2x^2-4x-9+9=0+9\\\\2x^2-4x=9\qquad|\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\\\dfrac{2x^2}{2}-\dfrac{4x}{2}=\dfrac{9}{2}\\\\x^2-2x=4.5\\\\x^2-2\cdot x\cdot1=4.5\qquad|\text{add}\ 1^2\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x^2-2\cdot x\cdot1+1^2=4.5+1^2\\\\(x-1)^2=5.5\iff x-1=\pm\sqrt{5.5}\qquad|\text{add 1 to both sides}\\\\x=1-\sqrt{5.5}\ \vee\ x=1+\sqrt{5.5}
