Theorem: A line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two proportionately.

Kisachek [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Segment BF = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The given theorem states that a line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionately

The given theorem is the Triangle Proportionality Theorem

According to the theorem, given that segment DE is parallel to segment BC, we have;

\dfrac{AD}{BD} = \dfrac{AE}{EC}

Therefore;

BD = \dfrac{AD}{\left(\dfrac{AE}{EC} \right) }  = AD \times \dfrac{EC}{AE}

Which gives;

BD = 6 \times \dfrac{18}{12}= 9

Similarly, given that EF is parallel to AB, we get;

\dfrac{AE}{EC} = \dfrac{BF}{FC}

Therefore;

BF = FC \times \dfrac{AE}{EC}

Which gives;

BF = 24 \times \dfrac{12}{18} = 16

Therefore, the statement that can be proved using the given theorem is segment BF = 16.

The first difference of a sequence is 1, 4, 7, 10, 13…
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

1) {4, 5, 9, 16, 26, 39}

2) {3, 4, 8, 15, 25, 38}

3) {3, 4, 8, 15, 25, 38}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

Let's call the sequence {x₁, x₂, x₃, etc}

The information you have is the difference between to consecutive terms:

x_2-x_1= 1\\x_3-x_2= 4\\x_4-x_3= 7\\x_4-x_5= 10\\x_6-x_5= 13

1) Data: x₁=4, then to get x₂ you sum 1, and get x₂=5. Then to get x₃ you sum 4, and get x₃=9, and so on. Result:  {4, 5, 9, 16, 26, 39}

2) Data: x₁ + x₂ = 7. You know that x₂ = x₁ + 1. Then:

x_1+x_2 = x_1 +x_1 +1= 2x_1+1=7\\x_1=3\\x_2= x_1 +1 = 3+1=4

If you continue the same process as in 1), you get {3, 4, 8, 15, 25, 38}

3) Data: x₅ = 25. If you look at the result in 2), you see that x₅ = 25 there!

So the sequence in this case is the same as before {3, 4, 8, 15, 25, 38}
