The following is an incomplete paragraph proving that ∠WRS ≅ ∠VQT, given the information in the figure where segment UV is paral

lel to segment WZ.: Segments UV and WZ are parallel segments that intersect with line ST at points Q and R, respectively. According to the given information, segment UV is parallel to segment WZ, while angles SQU and VQT are vertical angles. ________ by the Vertical Angles Theorem. Because angles SQU and WRS are corresponding angles, they are congruent according to the Corresponding Angles Theorem. Finally, angle VQT is congruent to angle WRS by the Transitive Property of Equality. Which phrase accurately completes the proof?

Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles. The correct option is A.

<h3>What are vertical angles?</h3>

Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles.

The proof can be completed as,
Given the information in the figure where segment UV is parallel to segment WZ.: Segments UV and WZ are parallel segments that intersect with line ST at points Q and R, respectively. According to the given information, segment UV is parallel to segment WZ, while ∠SQU and ∠VQT are vertical angles. ∠SQU ≅ ∠VQT by the Vertical Angles Theorem. Because ∠SQU and ∠WRS are corresponding angles, they are congruent according to the Corresponding Angles Theorem. Finally, ∠VQT is congruent to ∠WRS by the Transitive Property of Equality.

Hence, the correct option is A.

A wire b units long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into an equilateral triangle and the other is bent into a circle.
mezya [45]
1. Divide wire b in parts x and b-x. 

2. Bend the b-x piece to form a triangle with side (b-x)/3

There are many ways to find the area of the equilateral triangle. One is by the formula A= \frac{1}{2}sin60^{o}side*side=   \frac{1}{2} \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}  (\frac{b-x}{3}) ^{2}= \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}(b-x)^{2}
A=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}(b-x)^{2}=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}( b^{2}-2bx+ x^{2}  )=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}b^{2}-\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}bx+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}x^{2}

Another way is apply the formula A=1/2*base*altitude,
where the altitude can be found by applying the pythagorean theorem on the triangle with hypothenuse (b-x)/3 and side (b-x)/6

3. Let x be the circumference of the circle.

 2 \pi r=x

so r= \frac{x}{2 \pi }

Area of circle = \pi  r^{2}= \pi  ( \frac{x}{2 \pi } )^{2} = \frac{ \pi }{ 4 \pi ^{2}  }* x^{2} = \frac{1}{4 \pi } x^{2}

4. Let f(x)=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}b^{2}-\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}bx+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{36}x^{2}+\frac{1}{4 \pi } x^{2}

be the function of the sum of the areas of the triangle and circle.

5. f(x) is a minimum means f'(x)=0

f'(x)=\frac{ -\sqrt{3} }{18}b+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}x+\frac{1}{2 \pi } x=0

\frac{ -\sqrt{3} }{18}b+ \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}x+\frac{1}{2 \pi } x=0

(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) x=\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b

x= \frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) }

6. So one part is \frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) } and the other part is b-\frac{\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}b}{(\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{18}+\frac{1}{2 \pi }) }

If the price of an object dropped 75% down to $85.99 what was the original price?
Serggg [28]
If the price of an object drastically dropped 75%, then the dropped price is equal to 25% of the original price. That means that to find the original price, we have to multiply by the reciprocal of 25% (4). The original price would be $85.99 * 4 which is $343.96.
