I believe the answer is A. 20, 30, 40 is NOT a pythagorean triple.

Answer:
AE = CE = 23; BE = DE = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the values of the variables in their place and do the arithmetic.
AE = 2u+5 = 2(9) +5 = 23
BE = 6v-1 = 6(3.5) -1 = 20
CE = 3u-4 = 3(9) -4 = 23
DE = 8v-8 = 8(3.5) -8 = 20
The diagonals cross at their midpoints, so the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
So, he runs 1.5 then adds 0.5 every day,
1.5
(1.5+0.5)+1.5=x
(2.0+0.5)+x=z
2.5+0.5+z=y
etc.
Why, they want to know the total distance he runs, so thats why you add x,y,z to the end, and you add 2.0+0.5 because he adds 0.5 every dat Plus the other day's miles jogged
