Question 2 (Mandatory) (1 point)

Which method is best used to prove that two segments bisect each other?

a) Using distance formula to show the two segments are congruent.

b) Using slope formula to show the two segments have the same slope.

c) Using the midpoint formula to show both segments have the same midpoint.

d) Using slope formula to show the two segments have opposite reciprocal

slopes.

a) Using distance formula to show the two segments are congruent.

Step-by-step explanation:

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2

step-by-step explanation:

∆abc has the points a(1, 7), b(-2, 2), and c(4, 2) as its vertices. formed with the point d(1, 2) as its third vertex, then ∆abd is triangle.
