Theorem: The segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length. A two-c

olumn proof of the theorem is shown, but the proof is incomplete. A triangle with vertices A is at 6, 8. B is at 2, 2. C is at 8, 4. Segment DE with point D on side AB and point E is on side BC. Statement Reason The coordinates of point D are (4, 5) and coordinates of point E are (5, 3) By the midpoint formula Length of segment DE is Square root of 5 and length of segment AC is 2 multiplied by the square root of 5 By the distance formula Segment DE is half the length of segment AC By substitution Slope of segment DE is −2 and slope of segment AC is −2 Segment DE is parallel to segment AC Slopes of parallel lines are equal Which of the following completes the proof? By definition of congruence Addition property of equality By construction By the slope formula

Answer: by the distance formula

Step-by-step explanation:

The Distance Formula is a useful method for finding the distance between two points.

Given points of A=(6,8)

C=(8,4)

Thus, AC=

Coordinates of segment DE is given by statement 1.

D=(4,5) and C=(5,3)

DE=

which gives the statement 2.

Answer:  By the slope formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ABC is a triangle (shown below),

In which A≡(6,8), B≡(2,2) and C≡(8,4)

And, D and E are the mid points of the line segments AB and BC respectively.

Prove: DE║AC and DE = AC/2

Proof:

Since, And, D and E are the mid points of the line segments AB and BC respectively.

Therefore, By mid point theorem,

coordinate of D are (\frac{2+6}{2} , \frac{2+8}{2} ) = (\frac{8}{2} , \frac{10}{2} )= (4,5)

Coordinate of E are  (\frac{2+8}{2} , \frac{2+4}{2} ) = (\frac{10}{2} , \frac{6}{2} )= (5,3)

By the distance formula,

DE=\sqrt{(5-4)^2+(3-5)^2}=\sqrt{5}

AC=\sqrt{(8-6)^2+(4-8)^2}=2\sqrt{5}

By the slope formula,

Slope of AC = \frac{4-8}{8-6} = \frac{-4}{2} = -2

Slope of DE =  \frac{3-5}{5-4} = \frac{-2}{1} = -2


            Statement                                              Reason

1. The coordinate of D are (4,5)  and           1. By the midpoint formula

the coordinate of  E are (5,3)

2. The length of DE = √5                            2. By the Distance formula

The length AC = 2√5 ⇒ Segment DE

is half the length of segment AC

3. The slope of DE = -2 and the                3. By the slope formula

slope of AC = -2

4. DE║AC                                                   4. Slopes of parallel lines are equal

Someone plz help me 1-1\2c=6
GarryVolchara [31]

1 - 1/2c = 6

1 -1 - 1/2c = 6 -1 (subtract 1 on both sides)

-1/2c = 5 (next do the inverse operation)

c = 5 ÷ 1/2

c = -10

to check your answer substitute the value of c in the equation;

1- 1/2c = 6

1- 1/2(-10) = 6

1 + 5 = 6

6 =6

Help? pre cal, will give points
Viktor [21]

Steps to solve:

5x² = 15x

~Subtract 15x to both sides

5x² - 15x = 15x - 15x

~Simplify

5x² - 15x = 0

~Factor left side

5x(x - 3) = 0

~Factors equal 0

5x = 0 and x - 3 = 0

___________

~Simplify 5x = 0

5x/5 = 0/5

x = 0

~Simplify x - 3 = 0

x - 3 + 3 = 0 + 3

x = 3

___________

Thus, the correct answer is 0, 3.

___________

Best of Luck!
