AB = AU + UB = 20x + 108 + 273 = 20x + 381

$\cfrac{AU}{AB} =\cfrac{UV}{BC} \\ \\ \cfrac{20x+108}{20x+381} =\cfrac{444}{703} \\ \\ 703(20x+108)=444(20x+381)\\\\14060x+75924=8880x+169164 \\ \\ 14060x-8880x = 169164 - 75924 \\ \\ 5180x = 93240 \\ \\ x=93240/5180 \\ \\ x=18$

In XYZ, mX=90 and mY=30.In TUV,mU= 30 and mV=60. Which is true about the two triangles? XYZ=TUV, XYZ= VUT,No congruency statemen

Flauer [41]

Answer:

No congruency statement can be made because the side length are unknown.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of all interior angles in a triangle is always 180°.

In triangle XYZ,

$m\angle X=90^{\circ}\\ \\m\angle Y=30^{\circ},$

then

$m\angle X+m\angle Y+m\angle Z=180^{\circ}\Rightarrow m\angle Z=180^{\circ}-90^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=60^{\circ}$

In triangle TUV,

$m\angle U=30^{\circ}\\\\m\angle V=60^{\circ},$

then

$m\angle T+m\angle U+m\angle V=180^{\circ}\Rightarrow m\angle T=180^{\circ}-30^{\circ}-60^{\circ}=90^{\circ}$

We have two triangles with congruent angles but we have no information about side lengths. Therefore, can not be made because the side length are unknown. Correct option is last option.

You have to multiply the number of people times the number of cookies they are each supposed to get

So, 28 x 3 = 84 cookies
