Let's say the shorter side is x.

So, the longer side would be ( 7 + x )

Now we have to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x.


a² + b² = c²

( 7 + x )² + x² = 13

7² + x² + x² = 13²

49 + 2x² = 169

2x² = 169 - 49

2x² = 120

x² = 60

x = √60


So the longer side is ( 7 + √60 ) and the shorter side is √60

Which scatterplot correctly represents the table of values below? Number of years collecting stamps Number of stamps in collecti
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

C. A graph titled Years Collecting Stamps versus Stamps in Collection has years collecting stamps on the x-axis and stamps in collection on the y-axis. Points are at (2, 100), (3, 100), (3, 125), (4, 150), (4, 175), (5, 175)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the x-axis goes the values from the column 'Number of years collecting stamps' of the table. And In the y-axis goes the values from the column 'Number of stamps in collection' of the table.

To make the graph identify each pair of values in the plane and mark it.

Choose the Δ that seems to be congruent to the given one. [D - top left] [C - top right] [E - center] [A - bottom left] [B - bot
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Δ BEC ≅ Δ AED

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider triangles BCA and ADB. Each of them share a common side, AB. Respectively each we should be able to tell that AD is congruent to BC, and DB is congruent to CA, so by SSS the triangles should be congruent.

_________

So another possibility is triangles BEC, and AED. As you can see, by the Vertical Angles Theorem m∠BEC = m∠ADE, resulting in the congruency of an angle, rather a side. As mentioned before AD is congruent to BC, and perhaps another side is congruent to another in the same triangle. It should be then, by SSA that the triangles are congruent - but that is not an option. SSA does is one of the exceptions, a rule that is not permitted to make the triangles congruent. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that triangles BEC and AED are congruent, but that is what our solution, comparative to the rest.

Δ BEC ≅ Δ AED .... this is our solution
