The points P(2, 1), Q(4, 5), and R(7, 4) are the midpoints of the sides of a triangle. Graph the three midsegments to form the m

idsegment triangle. Then use your graph and the properties of midsegments to draw the original triangle.

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

We followed instructions to create the attached graph of the two triangles.

Each mid-segment is parallel to the side of the triangle whose midpoint is the vertex opposite that segment. So, we used a graphing tool to draw, for example, a line parallel to PQ through point R. The vertices of the original triangle are at the intersection points of these lines (or 1 mid-segment length from the midpoint).

__

Analytically, we can make use of the fact that each mid-segment is effectively a diagonal of a parallelogram. For example, PQ is a diagonal of APRQ. The other diagonal is AR. The two diagonals cross at the midpoint of each. This means we can find point A using the midpoint relation:

  midpoint AR = midpoint PQ

  (A +R)/2 = (P +Q)/2 . . . use the midpoint formula

  A +R = P +Q . . . . . . . . multiply by 2

  A = P +Q -R . . . . . . . . subtract R to get an expression for A

  A = (2, 1) +(4, 5) -(7, 4) = (2+4-7, 1+5-4) = (-1, 2)

The other vertices of ΔABC can be found in similar fashion:

  B = R +P -Q = (7, 4) +(2, 1) -(4, 5) = (7+2-4, 4+1-5) = (5, 0)

  C = Q +R -P = (4, 5) +(7, 4) -(2, 1) = (4+7-2, 5+4-1) = (9, 8)

So, the original triangle's vertices are ...

  A(-1, 2), B(5, 0), C(9, 8)

Factor the expression below
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

(2x² + 5x + 2) = (2x + 1)(x +2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is (2x² + 5x + 2).

We have to factorize the given expression.

(2x²+ 5x + 2) = 2x² + 4x + x + 2

                     = 2x(x + 2) + 1(x + 2)

                     = (2x + 1)(x + 2)

So the factored form of the given expression will be (2x + 1)(x + 2).

Ella already knew 5 appetizer recipes before starting culinary school, and she will learn 2 new
Natalija [7]

A = 2w+5

example: on week three, she would have the recipes from the other weeks that you have to account for as well as the extra five

2(3)+5=11 so A would equal 11 by week three.

Use multiplication because it is essentially repeated addition.

2(from week 1) + 2(from week 2) + 2(from week 3) + 5(prior to school) =11
