The area of △MNP is one fourth of the area of △ABC.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the points M, N, and P are the midpoints of sides AC, BC and AB respectively. It means AC, BC and AB are median of the triangle ABC.

Median divides the area of a triangle in two equal parts.

Since the points M, N, and P are the midpoints of sides AC, BC and AB respectively, therefore MN, NP and MP are midsegments of the triangle.

Midsegments are the line segment which are connecting the midpoints of tro sides and parallel to third side. According to midpoint theorem the length of midsegment is half of length of third side.

Since MN, NP and MP are midsegments of the triangle, therefore the length of these sides are half of AB, AC and BC respectively. In triangle ABC and MNP corresponding side are proportional.

$\triangle ABC \sim \triangle NMP$

$MP\parallel BC$

$MP=\frac{BC}{2}$

By the property of similar triangles,

$\frac{\text{Area of }\triangle MNP}{\text{Area of }\triangle ABC}=\frac{PM^2}{BC^2}$

$\frac{\text{Area of }\triangle MNP}{\text{Area of }\triangle ABC}=\frac{(\frac{BC}{2})^2}{BC^2}$

$\frac{\text{Area of }\triangle MNP}{\text{Area of }\triangle ABC}=\frac{1}{4}$

Hence proved.

Points m, n, and p are respectively the midpoints of sides ac , bc , and ab of △abc. prove that the

Answer from: Quest

$y> \frac{1}{3}x$ and y≤ -x +4 .

step-by-step explanation:

we are given a graph for system of inequalities.

in order to write the system of inequalities for the given graph, we need to find the inequality for each of the line separately.

let us find the slope of dotted line first.

taking two coordinates on the graph.

let us say (0,0) and (3,1).

let us find the slope of the line now.

slope of the dotted line would be = $\frac{1-0}{3-0} = \frac{1}{3}$ .

y-intercept of dotted line is y=0 only.

plugging slope m= $\frac{1}{3}$ and b=0 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

$y=\frac{1}{3}x$ .

the line is shaded up of that dotted line.

therefore, for shading up we would take greater than inequality symbol > .

and because it's a dotted line we would take only > symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for dotted line would be

$y> \frac{1}{3}x$ .

let us take two points (3,1) and (0,4) on the solid line.

slope of the solid line would be = $\frac{4-1}{0-3} = \frac{3}{-3}=-1$ .

for the solid line we have y-intercept b= 4.

plugging slope m= -1 and b=4 in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

y = -1x + 4.

the line is shaded down of that solid line.

therefore, for shading down we would take less than inequality symbol < .

and because it's a solid line we would take ≤ symbol in place of = sign in above equation of line.

therefore, inequality for solid line would be

y≤ -x +4 .
Write a system of inequalities to represent the shaded portion of the graph.
