To prove : The Midline theorem

Explanation of Solution
Given information : The following information has been given
A
MN as midline of triangle
Formula used : The Midline theorem states that
The segments that joins the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half as long
Proof : Let’s assume that MN are two midpoints of sides BO and BA respectively. Now, to prove the sides parallel, we prove that the
Thus, we get M and N as
Now, we need to compare slopes of AO and MN.
Slope of AO
Slope of MN
Hence, we get the slopes as same. Thus, proved that midline theorem exists.

- Can someone help me with this please?arrow_forwardMariela 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_forward
