Which statement proves that [tex]$2+10 \cap PC$[/tex] in a parallelogram?

A. The slopes of [tex]$\overline{SP}$[/tex] and [tex]$\overline{RQ}$[/tex] are both -2 and [tex]$SP = RQ = \sqrt{45}$[/tex].
B. The slopes of [tex]$\overline{RS}$[/tex] and [tex]$\overline{QP}$[/tex] are both 3 and [tex]$SP = RQ = \sqrt{45}$[/tex].
C. The midpoint of [tex]$\overline{RP}$[/tex] is [tex]$\left(4, 5 \frac{1}{2}\right)$[/tex] and the slope of [tex]$\overline{RP}$[/tex] is [tex]$-\frac{9}{2}$[/tex].
D. The midpoint of [tex]$\overline{SQ}$[/tex] is [tex]$\left(4, 5 \frac{1}{2}\right)$[/tex] and [tex]$SQ = 5$[/tex].



Answer :

Based on a detailed examination of the problem and the provided information, we can conclude that the given information does not provide sufficient evidence to prove any statement about the given parallelogram. Let's break this down step by step:

1. Slopes and Lengths Information:
- The first and second pieces of information discuss the slopes and lengths of the sides of the parallelogram, stating that the slopes of [tex]\(\overline{SP}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\overline{RQ}\)[/tex] are both [tex]\(-2\)[/tex] (or [tex]\(\overline{RS}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\overline{QP}\)[/tex] having slopes [tex]\(3\)[/tex]), and both have lengths [tex]\(\sqrt{45}\)[/tex].
- This provides congruency properties which are typical features of parallelograms, but this alone does not prove anything about the existence or properties concerning the given statement [tex]\(2 + 10 \cap PC\)[/tex].

2. Midpoint Information:
- The third statement gives the midpoint of [tex]\(\overline{RP}\)[/tex] as [tex]\(\left(4, 5 \frac{1}{2}\right)\)[/tex] and the slope of [tex]\(\overline{RP}\)[/tex] as [tex]\(-\frac{9}{2}\)[/tex].
- Midpoints and slopes are useful in identifying and confirming properties of line segments, but this still does not lead to proving any statement about the parallelogram.

3. Midpoint and Length:
- The fourth information reveals that the midpoint of [tex]\(\overline{SQ}\)[/tex] is [tex]\(\left(4, 5 \frac{1}{2}\right)\)[/tex] and the length of [tex]\(SQ\)[/tex] is 5.
- Knowing the midpoint and length again helps in understanding the geometric properties but does not contribute to proving the specific statement.

Conclusively, the data do not combine sufficiently to conclude any specific properties about the parallelogram concerning [tex]\(2 + 10 \cap PC\)[/tex]. The problem lacks additional required information that could potentially form a concrete proof.
