The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

✧ Given : ABCD is a parallelogram. Diagonals AC and BD intersect at O.

✺ To prove : AC and BD bisect each other at O , i.e AO = OC and BO = OD.

Proof : $\begin{array}{ |c| c | c | } \hline \tt{SN}& \tt{STATEMENTS} & \tt{REASONS}\\ \hline 1& \sf{In \: \triangle ^{s} \:AOB \: and \: COD } \\ \sf{(i)}& \sf{ \angle \: OAB = \angle \: OCD\: (A)}& \sf{AB \parallel \: DC \: and \: alternate \: angles} \\ \sf{(ii)} &\sf{AB = DC(S)}& \sf{Opposite \: sides \: of \: a \: parallelogram} \\ \sf{(iii)} &\sf{ \angle \: OBA= \angle \: ODC(A)} &\sf{AB \parallel \:DC \: and \: alternate \: angles} \\ \sf{(iv)}& \sf{ \triangle \:AOB\cong \triangle \: COD}& \sf{A.S.A \: axiom}\\ \hline 2.& \sf{AO = OC \: and \: BO = OD}& \sf{Corresponding \: sides \: of \: congruent \: triangle}\\ \hline 3.& \sf{AC \: and \: BD \: bisect \: each \: other \: at \: O}& \sf{From \: statement \: (2)}\\ \\ \hline\end{array}. Proved ✔$

What word describes the slopes of the line

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Positive

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple ways we can go about this.

First, we can see that as x increases, so does y, so that means its positive

For perspective, if x is the amount of time and y is the number of sales, we can see that the sales are going up and not going down or staying at the same place

If you wanna check your work on that, you can plot two points and find the slope using y1-y1/x1-x2 and the slope will be positive.

We can also use the process of elimination, we know it can't be zero because it's not a straight, horizontal line and we know its not undefined because it isn't a straight vertical line, so it's between negative and positive, and since the line is going up, that means that it's positive.

The table shows the breakdown of the points scored in last week's basketball game.

o-na [289]

Answer:

a. Total field goal points scored in the first two quarters, in simplest linear expression form is: 3x - 4.

b. The total points scored in the game, in simplest linear expression form is: 6x - 1.

a. The goal points scored in the first two quarters are expressed in linear forms as: 2x - 6 and x + 2.

The total field goal points in the first two quarters = 2x - 6 + x + 2

Add like terms

3x - 4

b. The total points scored in the game = 2x - 6 + x + 2 + 2x + x - 6 + 9

Add like terms and simplify the expression

2x - 6 + x + 2 + 2x + x - 6 + 9

6x - 1

One Sunday, 120 days before Christmas, Aldsworth store publishes an advertisement saying ‘120 shopping days until Christmas'. Al

Lena [83]

Answer:

(a)18

(b)1089

(c)Sunday

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem presented is an arithmetic sequence where:

First Sunday, a=1
Common Difference (Every subsequent Sunday), d=7

We want to determine the number of Sundays in the 120 days before Christmas.

(a)In an arithmetic sequence:

$\text{The nth term}, T_n=a+(n-1)d\\T_n \leq 120\\$Therefore:$\\1+7(n-1) \leq 120\\1+7n-7\leq 120\\7n-6\leq 120\\7n\leq 120+6\\7n\leq 126\\$Divide both sides by 7$\\n\leq 18$

Since the result is a whole number, there are 18 Sundays in which Aldsworth advertises.

Therefore, Aldsworth advertised 18 times.

(b)Next, we want to determine the sum of the first 18 terms of the sequence

1,8,15,...

$\text{Sum of a sequence}, S_n=\frac{n}{2}( 2a+(n-1)d)\\S_{18}=\frac{18}{2}( 2*1+(18-1)*7)\\=9(2+17*7)\\=9(2+119)\\=9*121\\S_{18}=1089$

The sum of the numbers of days published in all the advertisements is 1089.

(c)SInce the 120th day is the 18th Sunday, Christmas is on Sunday.
