Given two points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) the midpoint would be:
M=((x₁+x₂)/2 , (y₁+y₂)/2)

In this case, the points would be: (1,2) and (1,-5); therefore:
M=((1+1)/2 , (2-5)/2)=(2/2,-3/2)=(1, -3/2)

<span>Answer: B) (1,-3/2)</span>

Kayla wants to find the width, AB, of a river. She walks along the edge of the river 65 ft and marks point C. Then she walks 25

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Part A) The triangles ABC and EDC are similar by AAA, because the three internal angles are equal in both triangles

Part B) The width of the river is about $39\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal and its corresponding angles are congruent

Part A) we know that

In this problem , triangles ABC and CDE are similar by AAA, because its corresponding angles are congruent

m<DCE=m<ACB -----> by vertical angles

m<EDC=m<ABC -----> is a right angle

m<DEC=m<CAB -----> the sum of the internal angles must be equal to 180 degrees

Part B) we know that

The triangles ABC and EDC are similar -------> see Part A

therefore

$\frac{BC}{DC}=\frac{AB}{DE}$

substitute the values and solve for AB

$\frac{65}{25}=\frac{AB}{15}$

$AB=15*(\frac{65}{25})=39\ ft$

Cindy won the lottery, and she gave her family $1.000.00 less than of her winnings. If the jackpot was worth $35.000.00, how muc

Leviafan [203]

That would be $34.000.000 since it’s just subtracting ( less than ) the main number minus the number she didn’t give away.
