I think that first you need to understand what CPCTC is used for.

Let's start with the definition of congruent triangles.

Definition of congruent triangles
Two triangles are congruent if each side of one triangle is congruent to a corresponding side of the other triangle and each angle of one triangle is congruent to a corresponding angle of the other triangle.

A definition works two ways.
1) If you are told the sides and angles of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding sides and angle of a second triangle, then you can conclude the triangles are congruent.
2) If you are told the triangles are congruent, then you can conclude 6 statements of congruence, 3 for sides and 3 for angles.

Now let's see what CPCTC is and how it works.
CPCTC stands for "corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent."
The way it works is this. You can prove triangles congruent by knowing fewer that 6 statements of congruence. You can use ASA, SAS, AAS, SSS, etc. Once you prove two triangles congruent, then by the definition of congruent triangles, there are 6 congruent statements. That is where CPCTC comes in. Once you prove the triangles congruent, then you can conclude two corresponding sides or two corresponding angles are congruent by CPCTC. These two corresponding parts were not involved in proving the triangles congruent.

Problem 1.

Statements                                        Reasons
1. Seg. AD perp. seg. BC               1. Given
2. <ADB & <ADC are right angles     2. Def. of perp. lines
3. <ADB is congr. <ADC                 3. All right angles are congruent
4. Seg. BD is congr. seg CD           4. Given
5. Seg. AD is congr. seg. AD        5. Congruence of segments is reflexive
6. Tr. ABD is congr. tr. ACD           6. SAS
7. Seg. AB is congr. seg. AC        7. CPCTC

what is the common ratio for the geometric sequence below, written as a fraction? 768, 480, 300, 187.5, …
Crazy boy [7]

Let

a1=768\\a2=480\\a3=300\\a4=187.5

Step 1

Find \frac{a2}{a1}

\frac{a2}{a1} =\frac{480}{768}

Divide by 96 numerator and denominator

\frac{480}{768} =\frac{\frac{480}{96}}{\frac{768}{96}} \\   \\ \frac{480}{768}=\frac{5}{8}

a2=a1*\frac{5}{8}

Step 2

Find \frac{a3}{a2}

\frac{a3}{a2} =\frac{300}{480}

Divide by 60 numerator and denominator

\frac{300}{480} =\frac{\frac{300}{60}}{\frac{480}{60}} \\   \\  \frac{300}{480}=\frac{5}{8}

a3=a2*\frac{5}{8}

Step 3

Find \frac{a4}{a3}

a4=187.5 \\ a4=187\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ a4=\frac{375}{2}

\frac{a4}{a3} =\frac{\frac{375}{2}}{300}  \\ \\  \frac{a4}{a3} =\frac{375}{600}

Divide by 75 numerator and denominator

\frac{375}{600} =\frac{\frac{375}{75}}{\frac{600}{75}} \\   \\ \frac{375}{600}=\frac{5}{8}

a4=a3*\frac{5}{8}

In this problem

The geometric sequence formula is equal to

a(n+1)=a(n)*\frac{5}{8}\\

For n\geq 1

therefore

the answer is

the common ratio for the geometric sequence above is \frac{5}{8}

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: D. 0.9967

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this, you need to do the z-score formula with both numbers. So 30-22/2.5 = 3.2. On the z-score chart, that equals .9993. Hold onto that number. Then you do the same with 15. 15-22/2.5 = -2.8. On the z score chart, that equals .0026. Subtract those numbers. .9993 - .0026 = .9967. It's not as compacted as it looks <3
