Answer:

No, this can not be a triangle because if you use the Pythagorean theorem 5 squared plus 2 squared doesn't equal 10 squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

You take 5 squared and 2 squared and add them, you then find the square root and that should equal 10, if not its not a triangle.

Find YW. YW = _ I just need the answer for YW no explanation needed.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

$YW=20\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In a parallelogram the diagonals bisect each other

The figure XYZW is a parallelogram

VW=VY

VX=VZ

Find the value of b

VW=VY

substitute the given values

$b+8=5b$

solve for b

$5b-b=8\\4b=8\\b=2$

Find the length of YW

$YW=YV+VW$ ----> by addition segment postulate

$YW=5b+b+8$

substitute the value of b

$YW=6(2)+8=20\ units$

A segment has endpoints (14,-8) and (4, 12). What are the coordinates of its midpoint?

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

(9,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, average the x coordinates of the endpoints

(14+4)/2 = 18/2 = 9

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, average the y coordinates of the endpoints

(-8+12)/2 = 4/2 = 2
