Answer:

HL

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

\angle A=\angle B=90^{\circ}

AC=BD

We have to find the postulate that is not used in line 3 reason in given proof.

In triangle MAC and BMD

Statement:\angle A=\angle B=90^{\circ}

AC=BD

Reason: Given

Statement:\angle AMC=\angle BMD

Reason: Vertical opposite angle theorem

Statement:\triangle AMC\cong \triangle BMD

Reason: AAS Postulate or LA postulate

AAS postulate: When two angles and one side of one triangle is equal to two corresponding angles and corresponding side of other triangle .Then , two triangles are congruent by AAS postulate.

LA postulate: When one acute angle and  one leg of one triangle is equal to its corresponding angle and corresponding leg of other triangle .Then, two triangles are congruent by LA postulate.

HL Postulate: When hypotenuse and one leg of one triangle is equal to its corresponding hypotenuse and corresponding leg of other triangle .Then, two triangles are congruent by HL postulate.

But we are not given MC=BM

Therefore, we cannot use HL postulate.

Statement:MC=BM

Reason:CPCT

Answer:

HL

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypotenuse and leg of a right triangle (HL) :Two right triangles are called congruent if the hypotenuses and one corresponding leg are equal in both triangles.

Leg and angle of a right triangle ( LA ) : Two right triangles are called congruent if the corresponding angles and one corresponding leg are equal in both triangles,

AAS ( angle-angle-side) postulate of congruence : Two triangles are called congruent if two pairs of corresponding angles and a pair of opposite sides are equal in both triangles.

Here,

In triangles AMC and BMD,

∠A ≅ ∠B

∠AMC ≅ BMD

AC = BD

Thus, by the above definitions,

We can prove triangles AMC and BMD with help of both AAS and HL postulate,

But, we could not use HL postulate because MC = MD ( where MC and MD are the hypotenuse of triangles AMC and BMD respectively ) is not given.

Solve –15 = 4m – 7.<br><br><br> –32<br><br> 2<br><br> –12<br><br> –2
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

-2 =m

Step-by-step explanation:

–15 = 4m – 7

Add 7 to each side

–15+7 = 4m – 7+7

-8 = 4m

Divide each side by 4

-8/4 = 4m/4

-2 =m

For pigs, the length of pregnancies varies according to a normal distribution with a mean of 114 days and a standard deviation o
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: The length of approximately 68% of all pig pregnancies will fall between <u>109 days</u> and <u>119 days</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the empirical rule , 68% of the population falls within one standard deviations from the mean.

Given : For pigs, the length of pregnancies varies according to a normal distribution with a mean of 114 days and a standard deviation of 5 days.

According to the Empirical Rule, the length of approximately 68% of all pig pregnancies will fall between 114-1(5) days  and 114+1(5) days .

i.e. the length of approximately 68% of all pig pregnancies will fall between <u>109 days</u> and <u>119 days</u>.

A square poster has a side length of 26 in. Drawn on the poster are four identical triangles. Each triangle has a base of 8 in.
Firdavs [7]
To find the probability of landing on a triangle, you will want find the combined areas of the triangles and the total area of the square target.

Divide the area of the combined areas and the total area to find the probability of landing on a triangle.

A = 1/2bh
      1/2 x 8 x 8
A = 32 square inches
32 x 4
128 square inches (areas of triangles)

A = bh
     26 x 26
A = 676 square inches

128/676 = 0.189

There is an approximate probability of 0.19 of hitting a triangle.
