Explanation:
a. The line joining the midpoints of the parallel bases is perpendicular to both of them. It is the line of symmetry for the trapezoid. This means the angles and sides on one side of that line of symmetry are congruent to the corresponding angles and sides on the other side of the line. The diagonals are the same length.
__
b. We observe that adjacent pairs of points have the same x-coordinate, so are on vertical lines, which have undefined slope. KN is a segment of the line x=1; LM is a segment of the line x=3. If the trapezoid is isosceles, the midpoints of these segments will be on a horizontal line. The midpoint of KN is at y=(3-2)/2 = 1/2. The midpoint of LM is at y=(1+0)/2 = 1/2. These points are on the same horizontal line, so the trapezoid <em>is isosceles</em>.
__
c. We observed in part (b) that the parallel sides are KN and LM. The coordinate difference between K and L is (1, 3) -(3, 1) = (-2, 2). That is, segment KL is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle with side lengths 2, so the lengths of KL and MN are both 2√2.
_____
For part (c), we used the shortcut that the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is √2 times the leg length.
Slope of AD = (2k - 0)/(2j -b - 0) = 2k/(2j - b)
slope of BC = (2k - 0)/(2j - b) = 2k / (2j - b)
AD ║ BC (same slope)
Slope of AB = 0
Slope of DC = 0
AB║DC
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
m = -7 / 7 = -1 / 1 = -1
We are asked to determine the present value of an annuity that is paid at the end of each period. Therefore, we need to use the formula for present value ordinary, which is:

Where:

Since the interest is compounded semi-annually this means that it is compounded 2 times a year, therefore, k = 2. Now we need to convert the interest rate into decimal form. To do that we will divide the interest rate by 100:

Now we substitute the values:

Now we solve the operations, we get:

Therefore, the present value must be $39462.50
Answer:
32 and 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the smaller number x. If the smaller number is x, the equation for this problem is 2x + 8 = 72
Equation:
2x + 8 = 72
2x = 64
x = 32
So now we know the smaller number is 32, so now add 8 and we get 40.
Therefore the 2 numbers are 32 and 40
