- Complete an analytic proof of the following theorem: In a triangle that has sides of lengths a,b, and c, if c2=a2+b2, then the triangle is a right triangle.arrow_forwardComplete an analytic proof of the following theorem: In a triangle that has sides of lengths a,b, and c, if c2=a2+b2, then the triangle is a right triangle. Exercises 34. 35arrow_forwardNote: Exercises preceded by an asterisk are of a more challenging nature. In the figure, which of the points A,B,C,D, and E belong to the locus of points in the plane that are at distance r from point P?arrow_forward
- Note: Exercises preceded by an asterisk are of a more challenging nature. In the figure, which of the points E,F,G,H, and K belong to the locus of points in the plane that are at distance r from line l?arrow_forwardGiven: Tangents AB,BC,andACtoO at points M, N, and P, respectively. AB=14,BC=16,AC=12 Find: AM, PC, and BNarrow_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
- Circles O, P, and Q are tangent as shown at points X, Y, and Z. Being as specific as possible, explain what type of triangle PQO is if: a OX=2,PY=3,QZ=1 b OX=2,PY=3,QZ=2arrow_forwardProve the statements in Review Exercises 32 to 36 using analytic geometry. If the diagonals of a trapezoid are equal in length, then the trapezoid is an isosceles trapezoid.arrow_forwardProve by the indirect method: Given: Scalene XYZ in which ZW bisects XZY point W lies on XY. Prove: ZW is not perpendicular to XYarrow_forward
- a 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_forwardConsider regular pentagon RSTVQ not shown. Given that diagonals QT and VR intersect at point F, show that VFFR=TFFQ.arrow_forwardI ZA = ZD and ZC ZF, which additional statement does NOT allow you to conclude that AABC ADEF? A B F BC = EF ZB = LE AC = DF d. AB = DE B is the midpoint of AD, and B is the midpoint of EC. à. b. C. Carrow_forward
