Answer:

x = 5 and y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given $\triangle$ ABC $\cong \triangle$ DEF.

Congruent triangles have congruent corresponding parts, so

$AB\cong DE\\ \\AC\cong DF\\ \\BC\cong EF$

Since

$AB=8\\ \\BC=19\\ \\AC=14\\ \\EF=4x-1\\ \\DE=y-6,$

then

$4x-1=19\\ \\4x=19+1\\ \\4x=20\\ \\x=5$

and

$y-6=8\\ \\y=8+6\\ \\y=14$

Trevor solved the system of equations below. What mistake did he make in his work?

storchak [24]

The answer is He subtracted 10 from the right side instead of adding 10 to the right side

Let's solve it:
2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10
________
Rearrange first equation to get y:
y = 5 - 2x
________
Substitute y into the second equation:
x - 2(5 - 2x) = 10
________
Multiply the terms:
x - 10 + 4x = 10
________
Combine the terms:
5x - 10 = 10
________
Add 10 on the both sides of the equation:
5x = 10 + 10
5x = 20
x = 4

a dvd has a diameter of 16 centimeters.what is the the area of the dvd?round the answer to the nearest hundredth.use 3.14 for n

melomori [17]

Answer:

A = 201 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the area of a circle can be calculated with the formula:

A = πr² = π(d/2)²

with d being the diameter.

Therefore:

A = 3.14(8cm)² = 201 cm²
