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

How many solutions does the equation |x + 6| − 4 = c have if c = 5? If c = −10? Complete the explanation
mixer [17]

Answer:

<h2>For c = 5 → two solutions</h2><h2>For c = -10 → no solutions</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know

|a|\geq0

for any real value of <em>a</em>.

|a| = b > 0 -  <em>two solutions: </em>a = b or a = -b

|a| = 0 - <em>one solution: a = 0</em>

|a| = b < 0 - <em>no solution</em>

<em />

|x + 6| - 4 = c

for c = 5:

|x + 6| - 4 = 5           <em>add 4 to both sides</em>

|x + 6| = 9 > 0   <em>TWO SOLUTIONS</em>

for c = -10

|x + 6| - 4 = -10           <em>add 4 to both sides</em>

|x + 6| = -6 < 0   <em>NO SOLUTIONS</em>

<em></em>

Calculate the solutions for c = 5:

|x + 6| = 9 ⇔ x + 6 = 9 or x + 6 = -9         <em>subtract 6 from both sides</em>

x = 3 or x = -15

What pattern do you see in the powers of 4?
Over [174]
All of them are even numbers. You will not find a power of 4 that is an odd number. Also, all of the numbers have a 4 or a 6 or both. For example,
4^3= 64

4^8= <span>65536


I hope this helps:)</span>
