Answer:

As per theorem Segment joining midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In a triangle ABC, D and E are the midpoint of sides AB and AC.

To Proof : DE║BC

Construction: A line CF parallel to BA is drawn and De is extended to point F.

Proof : In a triangle ADE and EFC

Sides AD║CF and DF is transverse.Then ∠ADE = ∠CFE (Alternate angles)

Similarly AD║CF and AC is transverse then ∠DAE = ∠FCA (Alternate angles)

Therefore ΔADE≅ΔCEF (AAS property)

From this property side AD = Side CF (corresponding sides of the congruent triangles)

Therefore BD = CF

So sides BD and CF are equal and parallel to each other which represents DBCF is a parallelogram.

Therefore DE║BC

Hence proved.

Which of the equations shows an application of the Zero Property of Multiplication? A. 25+0=25 B. 13(3)= C. 0∙2=0 D. (34−2)−(34+
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

0∙2=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Zero Property of multiplication is as follows :

The product of a number and 0 is equal to 0.

In option (c), 0 is multiplied by 2 and as a result, we get 0 as the answer.

It means,

0∙2=0

Hence, option (c) i.e. 0∙2=0 shows the Zero Property of Multiplication.

Solve using quadratic formula<br> 6x^2-x=2
Nadya [2.5K]

6x^2-x=2\implies 6x^2-1x-2=0 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{quadratic formula} \\\\ \stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{6}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{-1}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-2}=0 \qquad \qquad x= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a}

x = \cfrac{ -(-1) \pm \sqrt { (-1)^2 -4(6)(-2)}}{2(6)}\implies x = \cfrac{1\pm\sqrt{1+48}}{12} \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{1\pm\sqrt{49}}{12}\implies x = \cfrac{1\pm 7}{12}\implies x = \begin{cases} \frac{8}{12}\to &\frac{2}{3}\\[1em] -\frac{6}{12}\to &-\frac{1}{2} \end{cases}

I need answer please​
zhenek [66]

Answer:

We know that lines <em>l</em><em> </em>and <em>m</em><em> </em>are parallel. The alternate interior angles rule states that the alternate interior angles formed by parallel lines are equal. So let's equate them.

2x + 22 = 4x

putting variables on one side,

22 = 4x - 2x

Thus 2x = 22

x becomes 22÷2

Therefore,<u> x = 11.</u>

pls give brainliest for the answer
