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

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.

The Richter scale is used for measuring the magnitude of an earthquake. The Richter magnitude is given R = 0.67log(0.37E) + 1.46
natka813 [3]

Answer:

7.9982

Step-by-step explanation:

-The function for an earthquake's magnitude is given by  R = 0.67log(0.37E) + 1.46

-E is energy in kwh.

#For 15,500,000,000 kilowatt hours the magnitude would be:

R = 0.67\ log(0.37E) + 1.46,\ \  E=15,500,000,000  \ kwh\\\\\therefore R=0.67 \ log(0.37\times 15,500,000,000)+1.46\\\\\\=7.9982

Hence, the earthquakes magnitude is 7.9982
