- Determine the type of triangle represented if the lengths of its sides are: a a=1.5, b= 2 and c = 2.5 b a= 20, b= 21 and c = 29 c a=10, b= 12, and c =16 d a= 5, b= 7 and c = 9arrow_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_forwardDetermine whether ABC, with vertices A0,0,0, B1,2,4, and C0,0,8, is an isosceles triangle.arrow_forward
- Two streets meet to form an obtuse angle at point B. On that corner, the newly poured foundation for a building takes the shape of a parallelogram. Which diagonal, AC- or BD-, is longer?arrow_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_forwardClassify as true or false. a Any two rectangles are similar. b If an angle of one rhombus is congruent to an angle of a second rhombus, then the two rhombi are similar.arrow_forward
- In ABC, M is the midpoint of AB and N is the midpoint if AC. a How are the line segments MNandBC related? b Use an equation to state how the lengths MN and BC are related.arrow_forwardIf possible, draw an equilateral and concave: a triangle c pentagonarrow_forwardBeing as specific as possible, name the type of quadrilateral that ahas two pairs of congruent adjacent sides. bhas two pairs of congruent opposite sides.arrow_forward
- Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse in the triangle shown below.arrow_forwardIn the drawing, ABDCEF with transversals l and m. If D and C are the midpoints of AE and BF, respectively, then is trapezoid ABCD similar to trapezoid DCFE?arrow_forwardAB and EF are said to be skew lines because they neither intersect nor are parallel. How many planes are determined by a parallel lines AB and DC? b intersecting lines AB and BC? c skew lines AB and EF? d lines AB, BC, and DC? e points A, B, and F? f points A, C, and H? g points A, C, F, and H?
