Answer : Explained.
Step-by-step explanation: As given in the question and shown in the attached figure, ΔABC be the large triangular stone that Mei wants to divide into four smaller triangular stepping stones in a pathway.
Let D, E and F be the mid-points of the sides BC, CA and AB respectively. Then, DE, EF and FD are the mid-segments of ΔABC.
Then , we have
4 × Area of ΔDEF = 4 ×Area of ΔFBD = 4 × ΔAFE = 4 × Area of ΔECD = Area of ΔABC.
Thus, we have
ΔDEF ≅ ΔFBD ≅ ΔAFE ≅ ΔECD.
Thus, in this way, cutting along mid-segments creates four congruent stepping stones.
Answer:

e. about 2.96 miles; about $1.63 million
Step-by-step explanation:
e. The x-coordinates of points A and B are 1/3 and 2/3 of the x-coordinate of "Downtown", respectively. The y-coordinates of A and B are 2/3 and 1/3 of the y-coordinate of "Town pool", respectively. Then the distances from A and B to the Mall can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:
A to Mall = √(4² +(10/3)²) = √(244/9) ≈ 5.20683 . . . miles
B to Mall = √(8² +(5/3)²) = √(601/9) ≈ 8.17177 . . . miles
The difference in distance is ...
(BM -AM) = 8.17177 -5.20683 = 2.96493 . . . miles
The mall is about 2.96 miles farther from point B than from point A.
The additional cost is the difference in miles multiplied by the cost per mile:
(2.96 mi)($0.550 M/mi) = $1.63 M
The additional cost of the longer road is about $1.63 million.
4.1 > 4.01 > 4.085 > 4.009
I hope this helps! ;D
The solutions are basically the points on the graph that the line passes through. The best way to pick them is to use the whole numbers that are on the corners of the little boxes instead of the middle.
(4, -5)
(3, -3)
(1, 1)
(0, 3)
(-1, 5)
and so on.
