Answer:
Side-Side-Side (SSS) Congruence Property
Step-by-step explanation:
Congruence just means that two things are of the same size. For instance, if you have two congruent side lengths, they are the same length. In this picture, you can see that both triangles have a side with one dash and a side with two dashes. In geometry, to show that two lines are congruent you give them the same number of dashes, and therefore you know for sure that those two pairs of sides are congruent. Finally, the triangles share a side length, so you know that that side length is equal for them. Therefore, the appropriate congruence property here is SSS, since you know that three pairs of sides are congruent.
Answer:
with what
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the man works 8 hours straight without breaks:
25% is the same as 1/4 of something.
So, we just have to figure out what 1/4 (one quarter) of 8 equals.
You can think of it as a pizza cut into 8 slices. One slice is equivalent to one hour for the patrolman.
If we take away 1/2 (half) of the pizza, we have 4 slices, right? Since we start with 8 slices, half of that equals 4 slices. In other words, 50% (half) of the pizza = 4 slices.
Now, 25% (one quarter) of the pizza will equal half of what is left:
If we know that 50%=4 slices (or 4 hours), then 25% must be 2 slices (or 2 hours).
That's it! 25% of 8 hours = 2 hours.
***So, the patrolman spends 2 hours each day completing paperwork.***
Lets check our work:
We know 8 hours (or 8 slices)= 100%
(We know this because
8 slices = 1 whole pizza, or 100% of a pizza. Similarly,
8 hours = 1 whole shift or 100% of the man's shift ).
So
25% + 25% + 25% + 25% = 100%
If 100% of the mans shift = 8 hours:
2+2+2+2 = 8
It checks out!
Hope this helps!
