By using congruence of two triangles AKC and CMA we proved that

AK = MC

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets revise the cases of congruence  

  • SSS  ⇒ 3 sides in the 1st Δ ≅ 3 sides in the 2nd Δ
  • SAS ⇒ 2 sides and including angle in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 sides and   including angle in the 2nd Δ
  • ASA ⇒ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 1st Δ  ≅ 2 angles and the side whose joining them in the 2nd Δ
  • AAS ⇒ 2 angles and one side in the 1st Δ ≅ 2 angles   and one side in the 2nd Δ
  • HL ⇒ hypotenuse leg of the 1st right Δ ≅ hypotenuse leg of the 2nd right Δ

In Δ ABC

∵ AB = BC

∴ Δ ABC is an isosceles triangle

∴ ∠BAC ≅ m∠BCA ⇒ base angles of isoscelesΔ

∵ AK ⊥ BC

∴ m∠AKC = 90°

∵ MC ⊥ AB

∴ m∠CMA = 90°

∴ ∠AKC ≅ ∠CMA

In the two Δs AKC and CMA

∵ ∠BAC ≅ m∠BCA

∵ ∠AKC ≅ ∠CMA

∵ AC ≅ CA

∴ Δ AKC and Δ CMA are congruent by AAS postulate

∴ AK ≅ CM

By using congruence of two triangles AKC and CMA we proved that

AK = MC

Alja [10]
You would use 6 gallons of water to water 45 plants 
4=30  
\frac{45}{30}=\frac{3}{2}
\frac{3}{2}of 4 gallons = 6 gallons
