Chapter 14.1, Problem 11MC
The following figure is a partial tessellation of the plane with the trapezoid
a. Tessellate the plane with a triangle and show how the tessellation can be used to find the relationship between the length of the segment connecting the midpoints of the two sides of a triangle and the length of the third side(the Midsegment Theorem of Chapter 12).
b. Explain how the tessellation can be used to find a relationship between the midsegment of the trapezoid and the bases.

In addition to the in-school milk supplement program, the nurse would like to increase the use of daily vitamin supplements for the children by visiting homes and educating about the merits of vitamins. She believes that currently, about 50% of families with school-age children give the children a daily megavitamin. She would like to increase this to 70%. She plans a two-group study, where one group serves as a control and the other group receives her visits. How many families should she expect to visit to have 80% power of detecting this difference? Assume that drop-out rate is 5%.
A recent survey of 400 americans asked whether or not parents do too much for their young adult children.
