What does SAS stand for? what does it have to do with similar triangles?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: SAS stands for side angle side and it means triangles are congruent by having the same side, angle, and side

Explanation: Let's say, two triangles both have the same angle, say 90 degrees. They also share two side lengths. Both triangles have a side length of 9 and another side length of 8.

The two triangles, sharing all these properties, must be congruent. This congruency is proven by SAS.

However, you must not get confused with other ways to prove congruency like ASA (Angle-Side-Angle)

X=skirt
y=sweater
z=shoes

x+y+z=165
y=8/7x
z=x+11
plug it in
x+(8/7x)+(x+11)=165
2x+8/7x=154
22/7x=154
x=49
y=56
z=60
a skirt cost $49, a sweater cost $56, and a pair of shoes cost $60

At which x value will f(x)=3x+3 exceed g(x)=3x+10

Anvisha [2.4K]

We write an inequality:

$f(x) > g(x)$

$3^x + 3 > 3x + 10$

$3^x > 3x + 7$

This equation cannot be solved using trivial methods found in high-school classes, so we resort to graphical examination. $3x+7$ is a linear function while $3^x$ is an exponential one (with limit zero as $x$ approaches $- \infty$ ). We see that $3^x = 3x+7$ at approximately $x=2.4$ and $x=-2.3$ .

Indeed, using a computer algebra system such as the ones on modern TI calculators and on many internet sites gives equality at $x=2.42, -2.31$ . By observing our graph, we see that $f(x) > g(x)$ when $x > 2.42$ or $x < -2.31$ .
