Ok, l = lewa's backpack and a= alai's. :)

1/2a -5 = l.
so to solve,
1/2 (36) - 5 = l.
18 - 5 = l.
13 = l. 

so Lewa's backpack weighs 13 pounds. Hope it helps!

To draw a line segment perpendicular to XY passing through point x
Andrew [12]
What does perpendicular mean? Well, in elementary geometry it mean 2 lines that intersect at a right angle. (90°).

So for Part one. all you need to do is draw a straight line down from the point X. Name the end point of that line M. 

Now you will connect the line M and Z.

Thats it! I hope this helped!! :)

Determine the midpoint between the two points x(4,-6) and y(-2,8)
ikadub [295]

Answer:

p(a, b) = (1, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint formula is

p(a, b)=(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} ) ---------------(1)

Here

(x_1, y_1) = (4, -6) \ \ \ and \ \ \ (x_2, y_2) = (-2, 8)

Substituting values in equation (1)

p(a, b)=(\frac{4 - 2}{2}, \frac{-6 + 8}{2} )

p(a, b) = (1, 1)

Describe the relationship between the perimeter of a triangle and the perimeter of the triangle that is formed by the midsegment
lilavasa [31]
It is 1/4 of the area of the larger triangle...basically if you connect the three midpoints of the triangle's sides it creates four identical smaller triangles...

The perimeter is one half of the larger triangle...
