What is the missing step in this proof? a. ∠abc ≅ ∠dbe b. ∠bca ≅ ∠bde c. ∠acb ≅ ∠deb d. ∠bde ≅ ∠ade e. ∠cab ≅ ∠dac
1 answer:
Based on the reflexive property of congruency, the missing step in the proof is: A. ∠ABC ≅ ∠DBE
<h3>What is the Reflexive Property of Congruency?</h3>The reflexive property of congruency states that an angle will always be congruent to itself.
In the diagram given, we can prove that ∠ABC ≅ ∠DBE based on the reflexive property.
Therefore, the missing step in nthe proof is: A. ∠ABC ≅ ∠DBE

we know that
in the right triangle ABC
cos A=AC/AB
cos A=1/3
so
1/3=AC/AB----->AB=3*AC-----> square----> AB²=9*AC²----> equation 1
applying the Pythagoras Theorem
BC²+AC²=AB²-----> 2²+AC²=AB²---> 4+AC²=AB²----> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
4+AC²=9*AC²----> 8*AC²=4----> AC²=1/2----> AC=√2/2
so
AB²=9*AC²----> AB²=9*(√2/2)²----> AB=(3√2)/2
the answer is
the hypotenuse is (3√2)/2
