Gary is using an indirect method to prove that segment DE is not parallel to segment BC in the triangle ABC shown below: A triangle ABC is shown. D is a point on side AB and E is a point on side AC. Points D and E are joined using a straight line.

He starts with the assumption that segment DE is parallel to segment BC.

Which inequality will he use to contradict the assumption?

That Ratios aren't equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: DE is || to BC.

So in order to make this false then we have to say that the sides aren't proprtional, making it not possible to get the ratios equal.

(See the Triangle proprtionality theorem or the triangle midsegment theorem)      

4:10 ≠ 6:14

Step-by-step explanation:

bc i said so

step-by-step explanation:

. your answer will contain x - and y -terms. (1 point) x ( ¿¿ 2 − 7 ) 2 +( y 2 − 9 ) 2 √ ¿ 12. what is the distance from the directrix (the crocodile river) to the point ( x , y )? write this equation. your answer will contain a y -term.

false

the meaning of changing is to edit or make something different.

but transmitting means cause (something) to pass on from one place or person to another.
