- Which type of path straight, curved, circular or scattered is determined by: a pepper sprinkled on a steak? b a Ferris wheel? c a rule? d the path of a snake?arrow_forwardGiven: D is the midpoint of AC ACBC CD=2x+5 BC=x+28 Find: ACarrow_forwarda Argue that the midpoint of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equidistant from the three vertices of the triangle. Use the fact that the congruent diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other. Be sure to provide a drawing. bUse the relationship from part a to find CM, the length of the median to the hypotenuse of right ABC, in which mC=90, AC = 6, and BC = 8.arrow_forward
- Which type of path straight, curved, circular, or scattered is determined by: a a roller coaster? b a pencil? c a carousel? d darts thrown at a dartboard?arrow_forwardIn the figure, abc and B is the midpoint of AC. If AB=2x+3, BC=x+7 and DE=3x+2, Find the length of EF. Exercises 25, 26arrow_forwardFor a given triangle such as ABC, what word describes the point of concurrency for athe three perpendicular bisectors of sides? bthe three altitudes?arrow_forward
- In ABC, M and N are midpoints of AC and BC, respectively. If AB=12.36, how long is MN?arrow_forwardIn ABC, M is the midpoint of AB and N is the midpoint of AC. If MN= 3x-11 and BC= 4x24, find the value of x.arrow_forwardA line segment joins the midpoints of two opposite sides of a rectangle as shown. What can you conclude regarding MN,AB,DCandMN,AB,DC?arrow_forward
- For isosceles PNQ, the vertices are P-2a,0, N2a,0, and Q0,2b. In terms of a, and b, find the coordinates of the circumcenter of PNQ. The circumcenter is the point of concurrence for the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle.arrow_forwardIn the drawing, suppose that ZX is the perpendicular bisector of WY. What type of quadrilateral is WXYZ?arrow_forwardGeneralize your findings in Exercise 33. 33. Can you use the construction for the midpoint of a segment to divide a line segment into a three congruent parts? c six congruent parts? b four congruent parts? d eight congruent parts?arrow_forward
