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)

Part A)

Multiply the amount he earned by 8.5%

8.5% written as a decimal is 0.085.

75,000 x 0.085 = $6,375

Part B)

Subtract the amount of tax from his earnings:

75,000 - 6,375 = $68,625

Please help anyone and explain please
umka2103 [35]

So if you distribute 4 in the first parentheses, you get 12x+20y+8z.

Then you distribute 3 in the second parentheses. You'll get 3x-3z. That all equals 12x+20y+8z+3x-3z.

Now you have to start combining numbers with the same variable. Start with x. 12x+3x is 15x.

y has no other common variable, it's left alone.

8z-3z is 5z

All together now with the numbers in simpler form, the equation is 15x+20y+5z

Jenna's would be the right answer because when you distribute 5 in her answer you get 15x+20y+5z

Alexeev081 [22]
Winning%=100[wins/(total games)]

w%=100(A-B)/A

So the way that your choice expressed that is:

Five times the sum of a number and 27 is greater than or equal to six times the sum of that num
stepladder [879]

Question:

Five times the sum of a number and 27 is greater than or equal to six times the sum of that number and 26.

What is the solution set of this problem?

Answer:

x \leq -21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<em>Represent the number with x</em>

So:

5 * (x + 27) \geq 6 * (x + 26)

Required

Determine the solution set

5 * (x + 27) \geq 6 * (x + 26)

Open Both Brackets

5 * x + 5 * 27 \geq 6 *x + 6 * 26

5x + 135 \geq 6x + 156

Collect Like Terms

5x - 6x \geq 156-135

- x \geq 21

Multiply both sides by -1

x \leq -21

Hence, the solution set is x \leq -21
