On hypotenuse of the triangle .
Right bisectors of the sides of a right triangle triangle meet hypotenuse.
Answer:
B. The contradiction of the statement is proven false, so the original
statement is therefore proven true.
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the opposite and then get to a point where we get a false statement. That proves that the the opposite of the opposite ( what we originally wanted to prove) is true.
Let W = number of white cars, and Y = number of yellow cars.
There were 9 times as many white cars as yellow cars. This means that the number of white cars was 9 times more than the number of yellow cars. This can be translated by the expression:
9Y = W
The person counted 40 cars in total:
W + Y = 40
So we get the system:

In the first equation, we multiply by 9:
9W + 9Y = 360
In the second equation:
9Y= W
W-9Y = 0
Then we add the first with the second equation:
9W + 9Y + W - 9Y = 360
10 W = 360
W = 36
So He counted 36 white cars.
Hope this Helps! :)
