Your friend claims that because each midsegment is half as long as the corresponding side of the triangle, the perimeter of the

midsegment triangle is half the perimeter of the original triangle. Is your friend correct ? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:
The claim is correct

Explanation:
Assume the given triangle ABC
perimeter of triangle ABC = AB + BC + CA ............> I

Now, we have:
D is the midpoint of AB, this means that:
AD = DB = (1/2) AB ..........> 1
E is the midpoint of AC, this means that:
AE = EC = (1/2) AC ...........> 2
DE is the midsegment in triangle ABC, this means that:
DE = (1/2) BC ...........> 3
perimeter of triangle ADE = AD + DE + EA
Substitute in this equation with the corresponding lengths in 1,2 and 3:
perimeter of triangle ADE = (1/2) AB + (1/2) BC = (1/2) AC
perimeter of triangle ADE = (1/2)(AB+BC+AC) .........> II

From I and II, we can prove that:
perimeter of triangle ADE = (1/2) perimeter of triangle ABC
Which means that:
perimeter of midsegment triangle is half the perimeter of the original triangle.

Hope this helps :)

F(x)= <br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B4x%20-%207%7D%7B10%7D%20" id="TexFormula1" title=" \frac{4x - 7}{10} "
Naily [24]

Answer:

To find f-¹(x) of f(x) equate f(x) to y

That's

f(x) = y

So we have

y =  \frac{4x - 7}{10}

Next interchange the variables that's x becomes y and y becomes x

That's

x =  \frac{4y - 7}{10}

Next make y the subject

Cross multiply

We have

4y - 7 = 10x

Move -7 to the right side of the equation

4y = 10x + 7

Divide both sides by 4

We have the final answer as

y =  \frac{10x + 7}{4}

So

f ^{ - 1} (x) =  \frac{10x + 7}{4}

Hope this helps you
