The triangle NET is an <em>isosceles</em> triangle as <u>ET</u> ≅ <u>TN</u> and ET = TN < EN given the condition that BEST is a <em>cyclic</em> quadrilateral.

<h3>How to determine the existence of an isosceles triangle</h3>

In this question we must apply <em>geometric</em> properties of angles and triangles to determine that the triangle NET is an <em>isosceles</em> triangle. <em>Isosceles</em> triangles are triangles with two sides of equal length. In addition, we must apply the geometric concept of proportionality.

Now we proceed to prove the existence of the isosceles triangle:

  1. <u>BE</u> ≅ <u>SN</u>       Given
  2. ET is the bisector of ∠BES     Given
  3. ET/ES = ET/EB     Definition of proportionality
  4. ES = EB       (3)
  5. <u>ES</u> ≅ <u>EB</u>     Definition of congruence
  6. <u>ET</u> ≅ <u>TN</u>     SSS Theorem/Result

Therefore, the triangle NET is an <em>isosceles</em> triangle as <u>ET</u> ≅ <u>TN</u> and ET = TN < EN given the condition that BEST is a <em>cyclic</em> quadrilateral. \blacksquare

Question 374756: Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels
Dvinal [7]

Let the number of hours = X

Multiply the speed of each train by the number of hours (x) and add them together to equal the total miles:

75x + 95x = 238

Simplify:

170x = 238

Divide both sides by 170:

x = 238/170

x = 1.4 hours.

Check:

75 x 1.4 = 105 miles

95 x 1.4 = 133 miles

105 + 133 = 238 miles

It will take 1.4 hours ( 1 hour and 24 minutes).

Which expression is equivalent to -1.3 - (-1.9)−1.3−(−1.9)minus, 1, point, 3, minus, left parenthesis, minus, 1, point, 9, right
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Choise B: -1.3+1.9

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise you must remember the multiplication of signs:

(+)(+)=+\\(-)(-)=+\\(-)(+)=-\\(+)(-)=-

 

By definition, equivalent expression have the same value.

Then, you can find an equivalent expression to the expression provided in the exercise by simplifying it.

So, given:

-1.3 - (-1.9)

To simplify it, you can distribute the negative that is located outside of the parentheses (in order to eliminate the parentheses).

Applying this procedure, you get the following equivalent expression:

-1.3 - (-1.9)=-1.3+1.9

Therefore, as you can notice, the expression obtained matches with the one shown in Choice B.

Can anyone please help me determine the slope of the line in the graph.
juin [17]

Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we need to read 2 points off the graph.

Where the line crosses the y-axis, the point is (0, 2.5).

The next point up on the line looks like (1, 4.5).

slope = m = (difference in y)/(difference in x)

To find the difference in y and difference in x, subtract the y-coordinates and the x-coordinates, respectively, in the same order.

difference in y = 4.5 - 2.5 = 2

difference in x = 1 - 0

slope = m = (difference in y)/(difference in x) = 2/1 = 2
