Prove that the medians to the legs of an isosceles triangle are congruent.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vilka [71]2 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABC be an isosceles triangle with sides AC and BC of equal length.                

We need to prove that the medians AD and BE are of equal length.

Consider the triangles ADC and BEC.

They have two congruent sides that include congruent angles.

Indeed, AC = BC by the condition, because the triangle ABC is isosceles.

Since the lateral sides AC and BC are of equal length, their halves EC

and DC are of equal length too: EC = DC.

Finally, the angle ECD is the common angle.

Thus, the triangles ADC and BEC are congruent, in accordance to the

postulate P1 (SAS) (see the lesson Congruence tests for triangles of the

topic Triangles in the section Geometry in this site).

Hence, the medians AD and BE are of equal length as the corresponding sides

of these triangles.

The proof is completed.

Match the statement to the property it shows.
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

If MN = XY, and XY = AB, then MN = AB.  Transitive Property

If AB = CD, then CD = AB.  Symmetric Property

Segment CD is congruent to segment CD. Reflexive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Transitive property states that for all reall numbers a, b, and c, if a = b, b = c, then a = c.

Symmetric Property states that for all real numbers a and b, if a = b, then b = a.

Reflexive Property states that for every real number a, a=a

Delia went to the market to buy 4.5 pounds of sliced fruit in a container.she paid with a 20 bill and a 5 bill and received 3.67
Goryan [66]

Answer:

<h2>One pound of the item will cost 4.74 bill</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are told that Delia bought 4.5 pounds of fruit

and paid with a toa total bill of 20+5= 25 bill

and also she received a  change of 3.67

this means that the item she bought cost 25-3.67= 21.33bill

now if 4.5 pounds of items cost 21.33 bill

then 1 pound will cost Xbill

cross multiply and solve for Xbill

X= 21.33/4.5

X= 4.74 bill

One pound of the item will cost 4.74 bill
