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

Mathematics

Vilka [71]3 years ago

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.

What is the explicit formula for this sequence?<br><br> −7, −4, −1, 2, 5, …
VikaD [51]

The explicit formula for the sequence is 3n -10

<h3>What is an Arithmetic Sequence ?</h3>

An arithmetic sequence is a series of terms which have  common difference between its consecutive numbers.

The sequence given is

−7, −4, −1, 2, 5, …

The common difference between each term is d =3

-4-(-7) = 3

-1-(-4) =3

The nth term for a sequence is given by

\rm T_n =  a +(n-1)d

Here a is the first term = -7

n is the no. of terms  = n

d is the common difference = 3

Therefore the equation will be

\rm T _n = -7 + (n-1) * 3

\rm T _n = -7 +3n -3

\rm T _n = 3n -10

Therefore the explicit formula for the sequence is 3n -10 .
