Step-by-step explanation:

Use one of the triangle congruence theorems (SAS, SSS, ASA, AAS, or HL) to prove that △ABC≅△EDC

.

It is given that  ∠FAB≅∠GED

. ∠BAC is the supplement of ∠FAB, and ∠DEC is the supplementary of ∠GED

by the definition of supplementary angles.

The figure shows the same triangles A B C and C D E as in the beginning of the task. Angle B A C is highlighted in green. Angle D E C is highlighted in blue.

Notice that ∠BAC

and ∠DEC are supplemental to congruent angles ∠FAB and ∠GED respectively. The Congruent Supplements Theorem states that if two angles are supplementary to two congruent angles, then the two angles are congruent. Therefore, ∠BAC≅∠DEC

by the Congruent Supplements Theorem.

The figure shows the same triangles A B C and C D E as in the previous figure. Angles B A C and D E C are congruent and highlighted in blue.

Notice that ∠ACB

and ∠ECD are vertical angles. The Vertical Angles Theorem states that vertical angles are congruent.

Therefore, ∠ACB≅∠ECD

by the Vertical Angles Theorem.

The figure shows the same triangles A B C and C D E as in the previous figure. Angles B C A and D C E are congruent and highlighted in red.

It is also given that C

is the midpoint of AE⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

.

By the definition of midpoint, AC⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯≅EC⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

.

The figure shows the same triangles A B C and C D E as in the previous figure. Sides A C and C E are congruent and highlighted in red.

So, two pairs of corresponding angles in △ABC

and △EDC are congruent, and the included sides in △ABC and △EDC

are congruent. The Angle-Side-Angle (ASA) Congruence Postulate states that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two angles and the included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent.

Therefore, △ABC≅△EDC

by ASA.

Translate these seven statements and reasons into a 2-column proof.

1. ∠FAB≅∠GED

(Given)

2. ∠BAC

is the supp. of ∠FAB; ∠DEC is the supp. of ∠GED (Def. of Supp. ∠

s)

3. ∠BAC≅∠DEC

(≅

Supp. Thm.)

4. ∠ACB≅∠DCE

(Vert. ∠

s Thm.)

5. C

is the midpoint of AE⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

(Given)

6. AC⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯≅EC⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

(Def. of mdpt.)

7. △ABC≅△EDC

(by ASA)

The average of three numbers, p, q and 27 is 28.The average of five numbers p, q, r, s and 27 is 31.Find the average of r and s.
sergejj [24]

Using the given information, the average of r and s is 35.5

<h3>Calculating Average</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the average of r and s

From the give information,

The average of p, q and 27 is 28.

That is,  

(p + q + 27)/3 = 28

p + q + 27 = 3×28

p + q + 27 = 84

p + q = 84 - 27

p + q = 57

Also,

The average of p, q, r, s and 27 is 31

That is,

(p + q + r + s + 27)/5 = 31
p + q + r + s + 27 = 5 × 31

p + q + r + s + 27 = 155

Thus,

57 + r + s + 27 = 155

r + s = 155 - 57 - 27

r + s = 71

The average of r and s is (r + s)/2

(r + s)/2 = 71/2

(r + s)/2 = 35.5

Hence, the average of r and s is 35.5

Write the equation of a polynomial of degree 3, with zeros 1, 2 and -1 where f(0)=2
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

f(x) = x^3 - 2x^2 - x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

since the zeroes are 1,-1, and 2. we can write the function like

f(x) = (x-1)(x+1)(x-2)

f(x) = (x^2-1)(x-2)

f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -x +2

and it is true that f(0)=2
