Answer: The correct option is

(D) Segment AD is 4, and segment AE is 3.

Step-by-step explanation: In the given figure, we are shown a triangle ABC with side AB measures 8 units and AC measures 6 units.

We are to select the statement that is needed to prove that segment DE is half the length of segment BC.

Midpoint Theorem :

The line joining the mid points of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is half of the third side.

In triangle ABC, applying the midpoint theorem,

for DE to be half of BC, D must be the midpoint of AB and E must be the midpoint of AC.

If so, then

$AD=\dfrac{1}{2}\times AB=\dfrac{1}{2}\times8=4,\\\\\\AE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times AC=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6=3.$

Thus, for DE to be half of BC, segment AD is 4 and segment AE is 3.

Option (D) is CORRECT.

Can someone help me with this pls?

Please bare with me bc I’m bad at wording things, change it as you please!

It’s a minimum. I know that the function is a minimum because whenever there is a - in the beginning of the equation it flips your parabola over the x axis and my parabola becomes concave down. When my parabola is concave up I have a minimum, vise versa is a maximum. Because there isn’t a -, my parabola is concave up meaning the function has a minimum

True or False

kifflom [539]

Answer:

true
true
false
false

Step-by-step explanation:

One characteristic of a reflection that is useful for answering this question is that it always reverses the clockwise/counterclockwise orientation of a figure. Rotation and translation have no effect on that orientation.

1. translation by reflection

Reflection across two parallel lines has the net effect of translating a figure twice the distance between the parallel lines. So, one way to effect a translation using two lines of reflection is to draw one of them through the perpendicular bisector of a point and its translated image. Then the other line would be drawn parallel to the first through the image point.

True: translation can be replaced by two reflections

2. translation by rotation

A single point can be moved from one set of coordinates to another by rotating around any point on the perpendicular bisector of the original and its image. To "undo" the change in direction of other points in the image, the image can be rotated an equal angle in the reverse direction about the point that is in its proper place.

That is, if we rotate figure ABC an amount of X° about a point on the perpendicular bisector of AA', so that A ends up at A', then the translation can be finished by rotating that figure by -X° about point A'.

The simplest case is an initial rotation of 180° about the midpoint of AA', followed by another rotation of 180° about A'.

True: translation can be replaced by two rotations

3. rotation by reflection

As discussed above, reflection changes orientation and rotation does not.

However, a rotation can be replaced by two reflections. The rotation angle is equal to twice the angle between the lines of reflection. The point where the lines of reflection meet is the center of rotation.

False: rotation can be replaced by reflection

4. reflection by rotation and translation

As discussed above, reflection changes orientation, but rotation and translation do not.

False: reflection can be replaced by rotation and translation
