Answer to Problem 9WE
Theorem 5.4 is converse of theorem 5.1, that states that If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then quadrilateral is a parallelogram.”
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Statements of following theorem is given,
Theorem 5.1: “Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.’
Concept used: Converse of a theorem is a statement that is formed by interchanging the given section of a theorem by what to prove and what to prove section by given section of the theorem.
Calculation: On observing different sections given, it is found that the converse to theorem 5.1 is theorem 5.4 that’s statement is, “If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are congruent, then quadrilateral is a parallelogram.”
Conclusion: Thus, theorem 5.4 is the converse of given theorem 5.1.
b)
To find: The theorem that is converse to said theorems 5.2.

Answer to Problem 9WE
Theorem 5.6 is converse of theorem 5.2, that states that If both pairs of opposite
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Statements of following theorems are given,
Theorem 5.2: “Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent.”
Concept used: Converse of a theorem is a statement that is formed by interchanging the given section of a theorem by what to prove and what to prove section by given section of the theorem.
Calculation: On observing different sections given, it is found that the converse to theorem 5.2 is theorem 5.6 that’s statement is, “If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.”
Conclusion: Thus, theorem 5.6 is the converse of given theorem 5.2.
c)
To find: The theorem that is converse to said theorems 5.3.

Answer to Problem 9WE
Theorem 5.7 is converse of theorem 5.3, that states that “If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.”
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Statements of following theorems are given,
Theorem 5.3: ”Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.”
Concept used: Converse of a theorem is a statement that is formed by interchanging the given section of a theorem by what to prove and what to prove section by given section of the theorem.
Calculation: On observing different sections given, it is found that the converse to theorem 5.3 is theorem 5.7 that’s statement is, “If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.”
Conclusion: Thus, theorem 5.7 is the converse of given theorem 5.3.
a)
To find: The theorems that are converse to said theorems 5.1,5.2 and 5.3.
a)

Answer to Problem 9WE
Theorem 5.4 is converse of theorem 5.1, theorem 5.6 is converse of theorem 5.2 and theorem 5.7 is converse of theorem 5.3.

- Mariela is in her classroom and looking out of a window at a tree, which is 20 feet away. Mariela’s line of sight to the top of the tree creates a 42° angle of elevation, and her line of sight to the base of the tree creates a 31° angle of depression. What is the height of the tree, rounded to the nearest foot? Be sure to show your work to explain how you got your answer.arrow_forward1arrow_forward20arrow_forward
