Answer:

See the proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the line AB be a straight line on the parallelogram.

A dissection of the line (using the perpendicular line X) gives:

AY ≅ BX

Another way will be using the angles.

The angles are equal - vertically opposite angles

Hence the line  AY ≅ BX (Proved)

Answer:

AY = BX proved.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram attached to the answer.

Given AM = MB and ∠BAX = ∠ABY = 90°

Now, between ΔAXM and ΔBYM,

(i) AM = BM {Given}

(ii) ∠XAM = ∠YBM {Given}

(iii) ∠AMX = ∠BMY {Opposite angles}

So, we can say that ΔAXM ≅ ΔBYM

Hence, AX = BY.......... (1)

Now, between ΔABX and ΔABY,

(i) AB is common side.

(ii) AX = BY {Already proved} and

(iii) ∠BAX = ∠ABY {Given}

Therefore, ΔABX ≅ ΔABY.

Hence, BX = AY {Corresponding sides} (Proved)

Find the other end point<br> Endpoint (5,-1) Midpoint (5,10)
dusya [7]

Answer:

(5, 21)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coordinate of the midpoint of a segment is half of the sum of the x-coordinates of the endpoints.

The y-coordinate of the midpoint of a segment is half of the sum of the y-coordinates of the endpoints.

Let the unknown point have coordinates (x, y).

x-coordinate:

(5 + x)/2 = 5

5 + x = 10

x = 5

y-coordinate:

(-1 + y)/2 = 10

-1 + y = 20

y = 21

The other endpoint has coordinates (5, 21).
