Answer:

SAS

SSS

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these are right triangles, and you have the two hypotenuses are congruent to each other and two legs that are also congruent to each other, then HL can be applied.

For HA to work we must have been given something else about one of those angle (besides the 90 degree one).

Since you have two corresponding sides that are congruent, then the 90 degree angles in both are congruent, and then the sides right after that 90 degree angle are also congruent to each other, so SAS can be applied.

We can't use AAS. We only know something about one angle per each triangle due to the markers.

LA? Needed another angle besides the 90 degree one.

All three corresponding sides are congruent. The markers tell us this. So we can apply SSS.

What is the value of the expression |a + b| + |c| when a = –6, b = 2, and c = –11?

iVinArrow [24]

The answer is D. -15 because I am assuming that the vertical lines mean brackets, and we have to work out the brackets first (according to BIDMAS). Doing so, -6 + 2 = -4 and -4 + -11 = -15.

3 On a coordinate grid, the location of a lighthouse is at L, and the location of a buoy is at B. At noon, a ship is at the midp

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$(\frac{1}{2}, 2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the midpoint formula, $M(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$ , we can find the coordinates that represents the position of the ship at noon.

Let $L(-4, 7) = (x_1, y_1)$ (given on the coordinate plane)

$B(5, -3) = (x_2, y_2)$ (given also)

Plug in the values into the formula and solve as follows:

$M(\frac{-4 + 5}{2}, \frac{7 +(-3)}{2})$

$M(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{7 - 3}{2})$

$M(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{4}{2})$

$M(\frac{1}{2}, 2)$

Position of the ship at noon is best represented at $(\frac{1}{2}, 2)$

A parabola has a focus of F(2, -0.5) and a directrix of y=-1.5 P(x,y) represents any point on the parabola, while D(x, -1.5) rep

prohojiy [21]

The sketch of the parabola is attached below

We have the focus $(a,b) = (2, -0.5)$
The point $P(x,y)$
The directrix, c at $y=-1.5$

The steps to find the equation of the parabola are as follows

Step 1
Find the distance between the focus and the point P using Pythagoras. We have two coordinates; $(2, -0.5)$ and $(x,y)$ .
We need the vertical and horizontal distances to find the hypotenuse (the diagram is shown in the second diagram).
The distance between the focus and point P is given by
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$

Step 2
Find the distance between the point P to the directrix $c$ . It is a vertical distance between y and c, expressed as $y-c$

Step 3
The equation of parabola is then given as
$\sqrt{ (x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2} }$ = $y-c$
$(x-a)^{2}+ (y-b)^{2}= (y-c)^{2}$ ⇒ substituting a, b and c
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y--0.5)^{2} = (y--1.5)^{2}$
$(x-2)^{2}+ (y+0.5)^{2}= (y+1.5)^{2}$ ⇒Rearranging and making $y$ the subject gives

$y= \frac{ x^{2} }{2} -2x+1$
