E is the midpoint of DA, and F is the midpoint of DB. This means EF is a midsegment of the triangle. It is half as long as AB, and EF is also parallel to AB.

When we extend EF to form segment EC, it is now twice as long compared to EF. So that shows EC is the same length as AB, in other words, EC = AB. Also, EC is parallel to AB. This works due to points E, F, and C being on the same line.

Since EC || AB, we know that angle EBA = angle BEC. These are alternate interior angles.

From the reflective property, we can say EB = EB

---------------

Using these three facts

  • EC = AB
  • angle EBA = angle BEC
  • EB = EB

to prove that triangle EBA is congruent to triangle BEC. The next step is to use CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent) to lead to

angle BEA = angle EBC

we can use the alternate interior angle theorem converse to conclude that EA is parallel to BC.

-----------------

In summary, we have proven:

  • EC is parallel to AB
  • EA is parallel to BC

By the definition of what it means to be a parallelogram, we have proven quadrilateral EABC is a parallelogram. In short, we've shown that the opposite sides are parallel.

if someone deposited 2000 at 6% simple intrest . how long will it be before she has 2600 in her account
den301095 [7]
30. Given problem : You deposited 2 000 dollars, then you will earn 6% simple interest. Question: How long will it become 2 600 dollars. Well, you didn’t mention if it’s an annual interest or monthly interest. But let’s say that it’s a monthly interest, then let’s start solving: => 2000 Is the original amount + 6% interest first month = 2000 * .06 = 120 => 2000 + 120 = 2120 2nd month = 2120 *.06 = 127.2 => 2120 + 127.2 = 2247.2 3rd month = 2247.2 *.06 = 134.832 => 2247.2 + 134.832 = 2382.032 4th month = 2382.032 * .06 = 142.92192 => 2382.032 + 142.92192 = 2524.95392 5th month = 2524.95392 * .06 = 151.497 => 2524.95392 + 151.497 = 2676.45 Thus, on the fifth month she will earn this amount.

kelby has several pets.she has b, birds,c cats, and f frogs. in this expression b+(c+f) represents the total number of pets kelb
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The number of cats an frogs

Step-by-step explanation:

For some reason the equation has (c+f) grouped off from the rest, since in an equation the first step is to take care of things in the parentheses, first you must add the two together, and based on the description, you know that c is the number of cats and f is the number of frogs.  Therefore adding them together would get the total number of cats and frogs.
