Emily says she can prove the Pythagorean Theorem using the following diagram. She explains that she can divide the squares on th

e two shorter sides into grids with equal-sized grid squares. She says she can then rearrange the grid squares to cover the area of the square on the hypotenuse, which proves that the sum of the squares on the two shorter sides equals the square on the hypotenuse. A 3 by 3 square, a 4 by 4 square, and a 5 by 5 square, put together to form a right triangle with legs 3 and 4 and hypotenuse 5. Is this a valid geometrical proof that a2 + b2 = c2 for all right triangles? Yes, because there are 9 grid squares on one side, 16 grid squares on the other side, and 25 grid squares on the hypotenuse, and 9 + 16 = 25. Yes, because it shows that you can rearrange the squares on the shorter sides to fill up the area of the square on the larger side. No, because a proof needs to have equations in order to be valid. No, because this proof only works when you can draw grids on the squares. It does not work for all right triangles.

What is the median of those in the the picture please help
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Median is 24.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Median is the middle number in a set of numbers. If we have two middle numbers, we get the average. And from the question, listing them out, we have this

0,1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49.

The middle number here is 24 and 25. Getting their average will be 24.5

What does y equal ??!?!
garik1379 [7]
<h3>Answer:  658.3</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

The adjacent complementary angle to that 28 degree angle is 62 degrees because 62+28 = 90.

If the reference angle is the upper acute angle 62 degrees, then the y is the opposite leg and the side 350 is the adjacent leg.

Use the tangent ratio

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(62) = y/350

350*tan(62) = y

y = 350*tan(62)

y = 658.254262871217

y = 658.3

timama [110]

Answer:

Line BD is Congruent to Line BD due to the Reflexive property. Angle Bad is congruent to angle BCD because of the third angle theorem therefore triangle ABD is congruent to triangle CBD because all angles and sides are congruent

I don't know if that will satisfy your teacher because some prefer different things but that leaves no ground to be inferred and explains everything word for word.
