Beverly drew the line AB shown below. She then constructed line DC which is the perpendicular bisector of AB.
1 answer:
Answer:
D
Line segments are congruent due to the side-angle-side congruence postulate.
Step-by-step explanation:
DC is the perpendicular bisector of line AB, this mean that DC divides AB at 90 degrees into two equal parts at point E. Hence:
AE = BE
Also DE ≅ DE (reflexive property of congruence)
Also ∠AED = ∠BED = 90° (perpendicular bisector)
We can therefore say that triangle AED and triangle BED are congruent according to the side-angle-side congruence theorem. Therefore line AD = line BD

Looks like you just evaluated the summand for the given value of

happens to be the first term in the series, which is why that box is marked correct:
But the next partial sum is not correct:
and this is not the same notion as the second term (which indeed is 0.75) in the series.
