What is the length of the segment XY?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lemur [1.5K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

xy = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The Trapezoid Midsegment Theorem states that a line segment connecting the midpoints of the legs of the trapezoid is parallel to the bases, and equal to half their sum.

xy = (8 + 16)/2

xy = 24/2

xy = 12

Angie and Becky each completed a separate proof to show that the measures of vertical angles AKG and HKB are equal. Who complete
Svetllana [295]

Vertical angles are angles which are <u>opposite</u> to each other and have <u>equal</u> measures. With respect to the given proof, <em>Angie</em> completed the proof <em>incorrectly</em>.

<em>Two</em> angles are said to be <u>vertical</u> when they are <em>opposite</em> to one another and have <em>equal</em> measures. However, two angles are <u>supplementary</u> if they <u>add</u> <u>up</u> to 180°.

So, comparing Angie's and Becky's proofs, it can be deduced that from Angies proof:

1. Segment GH intersects segment AB at K (1. Given)

2. m∠AKG + m∠GKB = 180° (2. Definition of Supplementary Angles)

   m∠GKB + m∠HKB = 180°   (2. Definition of Supplementary Angles)

3. m∠AKG + m∠ GKB = m∠GKB + m∠HKB  (3. Substitution Property)

4. m∠AKG = m∠HKB (4. Subtraction Property)

Note:

  • Step 2 should be Angle Addition Postulate, since:

   m∠AKG + m∠GKB = 180°

   m∠GKB + m∠HKB = 180°

So that;

   m∠AKG + m∠GKB = m∠GKB + m∠HKB

<u>Subtract</u> m∠GKB from both sides to have;

m∠AKG = m∠HKB (which is the proof for step 4)

Therefore, <u>Angie</u> completed the poof <em>incorrectly</em> because of the properties of steps 2 and 4.

A diagram is herewith attached for more clarifications.

The isosceles trapezoid is part of an isosceles triangle with a 34 degree vertex angle. What is the measure of an acute base ang
Sonja [21]
For the answer to the question above asking<span> what is the measure of an acute base angle of the trapezoid?
</span>n acute base angle of the trapezoid would be the same as the triangle. 

<span>subtract 34º from 180º, then divide by 2. </span>

<span>(180 - 34)/2 = 73º 
</span>I hope my answer helped you.
