C is the centroid of isosceles triangle ABD with vertex angle ∠ABD. Does the following proof correctly justify that triangles ABE and DBE are congruent? It is given that triangle ABD is isosceles, so segment AB is congruent to DB by the definition of isosceles triangle.
Triangles ABE and DBE share side BE, so it is congruent to itself by the reflexive property.
It is given that C is the centroid of triangle ABD, so segment BE is a perpendicular bisector.
E is a midpoint, creating congruent segments AE and DE, by the definition of midpoint.
Triangles ABE and DBE are congruent by the SSS Postulate.

Triangle ABD with segments BC, DC, and AC drawn from each vertex and meeting at point C inside triangle ABD, segment BC is extended past C with dashed lines so that it intersects with side AD at point E.
There is an error in line 1; segments AB and BC are congruent.
There is an error in line 2; segment BE is not a shared side.
There is an error in line 3; segment BE should be a median.
The proof is correct.

The weight of 46 new patients of a clinic from the year 2018 are recorded and listed below. construct a frequency distribution, using 7 classes. then, draw a histogram, a frequency polygon, and an ogive for the data, using the relative information from the frequency table for each of the graphs. describe the shape of the histogram. data set: 130 192 145 97 100 122 210 132 107 95 210 128 193 208 118 196 130 178 187 240 90 126 98 194 115 212 110 225 187 133 220 218 110 104 201 120 183 124 261 270 108 160 203 210 191 180 1) complete the frequency distribution table below (add as many rows as needed): - class limits - class boundaries - midpoint - frequency - cumulative frequency 2) histogram 3) frequency polygon 4) ogive
