Which characteristics will prove that ΔDEF is an acute, isosceles triangle?

Mathematics

ololo11 [35]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  a.  segment DE and segment EF are congruent to each other but not to segment DF, and their slopes are not related.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for a triangle to be isosceles, two of the line segments must be congruent. (eliminates choices C and D)

If the slopes of the congruent segments are negative reciprocals of each other, the triangle is a right triangle, not an acute triangle. (eliminates choice B)

With choices B, C, D eliminated, we are left with choice A.

__

However, <em>that necessary description is not sufficient</em> to constrain the triangle to be an acute triangle. In order for the triangle to be acute, the third side must be less than √2 times the length of either of the congruent sides.

The correct answer is "none of the above."

Use the drop-down menus to complete the proof. Given that w ∥ x and y is a transversal, we know that ∠1 ≅∠5 by the . Therefore,
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

From the graph attached, we know that \angle 1 \cong \angle 5 by the corresponding angle theorem, this theorem is about all angles that derive form the intersection of one transversal line with a pair of parallels. Specifically, corresponding angles are those which are placed at the same side of the transversal, one interior to parallels, one exterior to parallels, like \angle 1 and \angle 5.

We also know that, by definition of linear pair postulate, \angle 3 and \angle 1 are linear pair. Linear pair postulate is a math concept that defines two angles that are adjacent and for a straight angle, which is equal to 180°.

They are supplementary by the definition of supplementary angles. This definition states that angles which sum 180° are supplementary, and we found that \angle 3 and \angle 1 together are 180°, because they are on a straight angle. That is, m \angle 3 + m \angle 1 = 180\°

If we substitute \angle 5 for \angle 1, we have m \angle 3 + m \angle 5 = 180\°, which means that \angle 3 and \angle 5 are also supplementary by definition.

Write explicit formula for a1=3, r=-2; then generate 1st 5 terms
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

  • an = 3(-2)^(n-1)
  • 3, -6, 12, -24, 48

Step-by-step explanation:

These variable names, a1, r, are commonly used in relationship to geometric sequences. We assume you want the terms of a geometric sequence with these characteristics.

a1 is the first term. r is the ratio between terms, so is the factor to find the next term from the previous one.

  a1 = 3  (given)

  a2 = a1×r = 3×(-2) = -6

  a3 = a2×r = (-6)(-2) = 12

  a4 = a3×r = (12)(-2) = -24

  a5 = a4×r = (-24)(-2) = 48

The first 5 terms are 3, -6, 12, -24, 48.

__

The explicit formula for the terms of a geometric sequence is ...

  an = a1×r^(n -1)

Using the given values of a1 and r, the explicit formula for this sequence is ...

  an = 3(-2)^(n -1)
