In ΔABC shown below, segment DE is parallel to segment AC:
Triangles ABC and DBE where DE is parallel to AC
The following two-column proof with missing statements and reasons proves that if a line parallel to one side of a triangle also intersects the other two sides, the line divides the sides proportionally:
Statement Reason
1. Line segment DE is parallel to line segment AC 1. Given
2. Line segment AB is a transversal that intersects two parallel lines. 2. Conclusion from Statement 1.
3. ∠BDE ≅ ∠BAC 3. Corresponding Angles Postulate
4. 4.
5. 5.
6. BD over BA equals BE over BC 6. Converse of the Side-Side-Side Similarity Theorem
Which statement and reason accurately completes the proof?
4. ΔBDE ~ ΔBAC; Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Similarity Postulate
5. ∠B ≅ ∠B; Reflexive Property of Equality
4. ∠B ≅ ∠B; Reflexive Property of Equality
5. ΔBDE ~ ΔBAC; Angle-Angle (AA) Similarity Postulate
4. ΔBDE ~ ΔBAC; Side-Angle-Side (SAS) Similarity Postulate
5. ∠A ≅ ∠C; Isosceles Triangle Theorem
4. ∠A ≅ ∠C; Isosceles Triangle Theorem

Hye ryung is the president of the local chapter of the american medical students association (amsa). she is organizing local outreach and informational meetings. at her first meeting there are five people present (including herself). every month after that her group grows by 5 people. a. how many members are in the group after 6 months? b. the logistics of hosting and feeding her group at meetings was more complicated than expected. the cost of feeding 5 people at her first meeting was $30, for 10 people it was $35, for 15 it was $45, and after 6 months all of the costs had added up to $100. write a function to model the cost with the number of people attending meetings. c. what connections can you make between the linear growth of the group’s membership and the increasing costs of running meetings?
