in triangle abc points dand e are the midpoints of ab and ac respectively. what are the slope and length of dë, if the slope and length of bc
are 0.5 and 3.2 units, respectively?
a slope = -2, length = 3.2 units
b. slope = 0.25, length = 3.2 units
c. slope = 0.5, length = 1.6 units
d. slope = -2, length = 1.6 units
e slope = 0.25, length = 1.6 units

C. slope = 0.5, length = 1.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram attached.

D is the midpoint of AB and E is the midpoint of AC.

Therefore, DE will be parallel to BC.

Hence, Slope of BC =Slope of DE =0.5. (Answer)

Now, ΔADE and ΔABC are congruent.

{Since BC║DE, then ∠ADE =∠ABC and ∠AED =∠ACB and ∠A is common.}

So,

Therefore, DE = = = 1.6 units. (Answer)

the camry sales+accord sale=828,000. to make it so the two numbers are 18 thousand apart and still equal 828,000, you first need to find out what half of 828,000 is. 828,000/2=414,000. for the two numbers to equal 828,000, you have to add the same amount as you subtract from the middle. in this case, the number is 9,000 because it's half of 18,000. to equal 828,000, you have to add 9,000 to 414,000 for the camry and subtract 9,000 from 414,000 for the accord. 414,000+9,000=423,000.

414,000-9,000=405,000.

423,000+405,000=828,000.

423,000-405,000=18,
