- 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_forwardFor 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_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
- Can a circle be inscribed in each of the following figures? Why or why not? a Parallelogram c Rectangle b Rhombus d Squarearrow_forwardIn the drawing, suppose that ZX is the perpendicular bisector of WY. What type of quadrilateral is WXYZ?arrow_forwardIn 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_forward
- Use drawings, as needed, to answer each question. Make a sketch to represent two planes that are a parallel. b perpendicular.arrow_forwardAB is the common chord of O and Q. If AB=12 and each circle has a radius of length 10, how long is OQ? Exercises 18, 19arrow_forwardSquare RSTV has diagonals RT and SV not shown. If the diagonals are drawn, how will their lengths compare? Do the diagonals of a square appear to be perpendicular?arrow_forward
- Review Exercises The diagonals of ABCD not shown are perpendicular. If one diagonal has a length of 10 and the other diagonal has a length of 24, find the perimeter of the parallelogram.arrow_forwardWhich 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_forwardWhich of these two polyhedrons is concave? Note that the interior dihedral angle formed by the planes containing EJF and KJF is larger than 180 .arrow_forward
