Answer:

The range of a data set is defined as the difference between the largest number and the smallest one.

So the first thing you need to do is order the numbers from least to greatest

Took the greatest number, and subtract the smallest one

The result of that subtraction is equal to the range of the data set:

an example is:

if the data set is:

(4, 5, 7, 2, 10)

order it:

(2, 4, 5, 7, 10)

do the subtraction:

10 - 2 = 8

the range of the data set is equal to 8

In the figure, AB is parallel to CD, XY is the perpendicular bisector of AB, and E is the midpoint of XY. Prove that △AEB ≅ △DEC

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

From top to bottom:

A, J, E, B, I, C, D, G, F, H

See below for more clarification.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that AB is parallel to CD, XY is the perpendicular bisector of AB, and E is the midpoint of XY. And we want to prove that ΔAEB ≅ ΔDEC.

Statements:

1) XY is perpendicular to AB.

Definition of perpendicular bisector.

2) XY ⊥ CD.

In a plane, if a transveral is perpendicular to one of the two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to the other.

3) m∠AXE = 90°, m∠DYE = 90°.

Definition of perpendicular lines.

4) ∠AXE ≅ ∠DYE.

Right angles are congruent.

5) XE ≅ YE

Definition of a midpoint.

6) ∠A ≅ ∠D.

Alternate Interior Angles Theorem

7) ΔAEX ≅ ΔDEY

AAS Triangle Congruence*

(*∠A ≅ ∠D, ∠AXE ≅ ∠DYE, and XE ≅ YE)

8) AE ≅ DE

Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (CPCTC).

9) ∠AEB ≅ ∠DEC

Vertical Angles Theorem

10) ΔAEB ≅ ΔDEC

ASA Triangle Congruence**

(**∠A ≅ ∠D, AE ≅ DE, and ∠AEB ≅ ∠DEC)

Is the line through points P(2,-9) and Q(6, -13) perpendicular to the line through points R(5,-1) and

Kay [80]

Line through P(0, 5) and Q(-1, 8):
slope = m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (8 - 5) / (-1 - 0) = 3 / -1 = -3

line through R(3, 3) and S(5, -1):
slope = m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (-1 - 3) / (5 - 3) = -4 / 2 = -2

Parallel lines have equal slopes. Since the two lines have different slopes, they are not parallel.

The time taken by Jill and Cheryl to double their money is 12 years and 18 years respectively.

<h3>What is Algebra?</h3>

Algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rule involves manipulating these mathematical symbols.

Jill invested $500 in an account with a compound interest rate of 6%.

Cheryl invests $600 in an account with a compound interest rate of 4%.

The number of years each doubles their money. Using the relation of 72.

$\rm t = \dfrac{72}{r}$
