Theorem: The segment joining the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half its length. A two column proof of the theorem is shown, but a justification is missing.

A triangle with vertices A at 6, 8. B is at 2, 2. C is at 8, 4. Segment DE. Point D is on side AB and point E is on side BC

StatementJustification
The coordinates of point D are (4, 5) and coordinates of point E are (5, 3)Midpoint Formula
Length of segment DE is Square root of 5 and length of segment AC is 2 multiplied by the square root of 5 .Distance Formula
Segment DE is half the length of segment AC.
Slope of segment DE is โˆ’2 and slope of segment AC is โˆ’2.Slope Formula
Segment DE is parallel to segment AC. Slopes of parallel lines are equal.
Which is the missing justification? (6 points)

You have learned about the six trigonometric functions, their definitions, how to use them, and how to represent them graphically. the sine, cosine, and tangent trigonometric functions can be paired with their reciprocal functions, cosecant, secant, and cotangent, respectively. think about how each function is related to its reciprocal function.how are the graphs of the reciprocal functions related to their corresponding original functions? what happens to the graphs of the reciprocal functions as x approaches the zeros of the original functions? describe how you would teach friends with different learning styles (visual-spatial, aural-auditory, verbal-linguistic, physical-bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical, social-interpersonal, and solitary-intrapersonal) how to graph the reciprocal functions
