Theorem: The segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length. A two c

olumn proof of the theorem is shown, but a justification is missing.
A triangle with vertices A at 6, 8. B is at 2, 2. C is at 8, 4. Segment DE. Point D is on side AB and point E is on side BC

Statement Justification
The coordinates of point D are (4, 5) and coordinates of point E are (5, 3) Midpoint Formula
Length of segment DE is Square root of 5 and length of segment AC is 2 multiplied by the square root of 5. Distance Formula
Segment DE is half the length of segment AC. Substitution Property of Equality
Slope of segment DE is −2 and slope of segment AC is −2.
Segment DE is parallel to segment AC. Slopes of parallel lines are equal.

Answer: The slope formula


Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the slope (m) of a line segment with endpoints (x_1,y_1) and {tex}(x_2,_2)[/tex] is given by m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

So to find the slope of line segment DE with endpoints D=(4,5) and E=(5,3)

m_1=\frac{3-5}{5-4}=\frac{-2}{1}=-2

The slope of line segment AC with endpoints A=(6,8) and C=(8,4)

m=\frac{4-8}{8-6}=\frac{-4}{2}=-2

Thus, Slope of segment DE is −2 and slope of segment AC is −2 by slope formula.

Answer:

  • x = 3, y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>As per the diagram we got:</u>

  • FH = GH = EH

<u>As FH = 7x + 4 and EH = 9x - 2, we solve the following equation for x:</u>

  • 7x + 4 = 9x - 2
  • 9x - 7x = 4 + 2
  • 2x = 6
  • x = 3

<u>So each segment is:</u>

  • 7*3 + 4 = 25

<u>Therefore</u>:

  • 5y = 25
  • y = 5

<u>So the variables are:</u>

  • x = 3, y = 5

spayn [35]

The inequality that models this situation is 150x + 350 y ≤ 250000 and x + y < 1200

<h3>What is an inequality?</h3>

An inequality is an expression that shows the non equal comparison of two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the number of wheat acres and y represent the number of corn acres, hence:

150x + 350 y ≤ 250000     (1)

Also:

x + y < 1200     (2)

The inequality that models this situation is 150x + 350 y ≤ 250000 and x + y < 1200

Answer:

(3 square root of 2 , 135°), (-3 square root of 2 , 315°)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We need to determine two pairs of polar coordinates for the point (3, -3) with 0°≤ θ < 360°.

We know that the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate. The two dimensions are:

  • The radial coordinate which is often denoted by r.
  • The angular coordinate by θ.

So we need to find r and θ. So we know that:

r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}       (1)

x = rcos(θ)                                   (2)

x = rsin(θ)                                    (3)

From the statement we know that (x, y) = (3, -3).

Using the equation (1) we find that:

r=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}=\sqrt{3^{2}+(-3)^{2}} = 3\sqrt{2}

Using the equations (2) and (3) we find that:

3 = rcos(θ)

-3 = rsin(θ)

Solving the system of equations:

θ= -45

Then:

r = 3\sqrt{2}[/tex]

θ= -45 or 315

Notice that  there are two feasible angles, they both have a tangent of -1. The X will take the positive value, and Y the negative one.

So, the solution is:

(3 square root of 2 , 135°), (-3 square root of 2 , 315°)
