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

Point K is on line segment JL. Given JK = 2x – 2, KL
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

KL = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

JK + KL = JL

2x – 2 + x – 9 =  2x + 8

Combine like terms

3x -11 = 2x+8

Subtract 2x from each side

3x-2x -11 = 2x+8-2x

x-11 = 8

Add 11 to each side

x-11+11 = 8+11

x = 19

KL = x – 9

     = 19-9

     = 10

Given h(x) = |x+3| -5
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The parent function f(x) is equal to f\left(x\right)=\left|x\right|

The translations is 3 units to the left and 5 units down

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

h\left(x\right)=\left|x+3\right|-5

The vertex of the function h(x) is the point (-3,-5)

we know that the parent function f(x) is equal to

f\left(x\right)=\left|x\right|

The vertex of the function f(x) is the point (0,0)

so

The rule of the transformation of f(x) to h(x) is equal to

(x,y) -----> (x-3,y-5)

That means ----> The translations is 3 units to the left and 5 units down
