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

Mathematics

Vilka [71]2 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.

Plz help I am giving away 20 points!!!!!!!!

Okay, so on number one I have no idea. I keep getting 20 because 14 - (-3)2 = 14- (-6) which is really 14 + 6=20.

Number 2 is r+15=61

Number 3 I didn't get any of those answers because you have to solve what is in the parenthesis first so3*5= 15+1=16 then you multiply that by two giving you 16*2=32 and 42-32=10

Answer:

\frac{7\sqrt{65}}{65}

Step-by-step explanation:

Cosine is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle and the right triangle hypotenuse.

cos B = \frac{7}{\sqrt{65}} = \frac{7\sqrt{65}}{65}

Please help with this question.

Answer:

Apples and Peaches

Step-by-step explanation:

It is convenient to compare the prices for 3 lbs of each of the fruits.

Multiply the price and quantity of Apples by 4:

... 4×(3/4 lb) = 4×$1.59

... 3 lb = $6.36 . . . . for apples

Multiply the price and quantity of Plums by 6:

... 6×(0.5 lb) = 6×$1.15

... 3 lb = $6.90 . . . . for plums

The two lowest-priced fruits are apples (6.36/(3 lb)) and peaches (5.37/(3 lb)).

_____

<em>Comment on</em> the best deal

No criteria are provided for determining the best deal. Though plums are higher-priced, they have somewhat higher polyphenol content than apples or peaches, so may provide the best deal in terms of nutrition per dollar.
