Answer:

b) Julie can use properties of congruent triangles to show that AB≅BC and BC≅CD. Then she can show BC≅AD because opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

On the assumption that Julie must show all four sides to be congruent, the one remaining step after using the properties of congruent triangles is to show that side AD is congruent to the rest of the sides. Answer choice B describes that.

___

IMO, Julie is finished after she shows∠A≅∠B and AB≅BC, because a parallelogram will be a square if adjacent sides are congruent (makes it a rhombus) and adjacent angles are congruent (makes it a rectangle). A rhombus that is a rectangle is a square.

Given the function f(x)= √x+7, find the value of x when f(x)=1

solniwko [45]

F(x) = 1, so we make the entire equation equal 1.

1 = sqrt(x) + 7

To make x by itself subtract 7 from both sides

-6 = sqrt(x)

Square both sides to remove sqrt from x.

36 = x

The value of x is 36

Find an equation for the parabola with focus at (-5,-4) and vertex at (-5,-3)

sattari [20]

Answer:

$(x+5)^{2}=-4(y+3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Focus point = (-5, -4)

Vertex point = (-5, -3)

We need to find the equation for the parabola.

Solution:

Since the x-coordinates of the vertex and focus are the same,

so this is a regular vertical parabola, where the x part is squared. Since the vertex is above the focus, this is a right-side down parabola and p is negative.

The vertex of this parabola is at (h, k) and the focus is at (h, k + p). So, directrix is y = k - p.

Substitute y = -4 and k = -3.

$-4 = -3+p$
