Answer

Find out the value of x .

To proof

SAS congurence property

In this property two sides and one angle of the two triangles are equal.

in the Δ ADC and ΔBDC

(1) CD = CD (common side of both the triangle)

(2) ∠CDA = ∠ CDB = 90 °

( ∠CDA +∠ CDB = 180 ° (Linear pair)

as given in the diagram

∠CDA  = 90°

∠ CDB = 180 ° - 90°

∠ CDB = 90°)

(3) AD = DB (as shown in the diagram)

Δ ADC ≅ ΔBDC

by using the SAS congurence property .

AC = BC

(Corresponding sides of the congurent triangle)

As given

the length of AC is 2x and the length of BC is 3x - 5 .

2x = 3x - 5

3x -2x =5

x = 5

The value of x is 5 .

Hence proved

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We will prove the SAS congruence property

(In this property two sides and one angle of the two triangles are equal the, the two triangles are similar)

consider,  Δ ADC and ΔBDC

(1) CD = CD (common side of both the triangle)

(2) ∠CDA = ∠ CDB = 90 °

( since, ∠CDA +∠ CDB = 180 ° )

(3) AD = DB (as shown in the diagram)

Hence, Δ ADC ≅ ΔBDC

by using the SAS congurence property .

AC = BC

(Corresponding sides of the congruent triangle)

i.e. 2x = 3x - 5

    3x -2x =5

      x = 5

Hence, the value of x is 5

Each student at a high school throws away two pounds of garbage a day. If there are s students at the school and the non-student
damaskus [11]

ANSWER

2(s+175)


EXPLANATION

The total amount of garbage thrown away at the school each day is the amount of garbage thrown away by the students plus the amount of garbage thrown away by non-students.


total = lb students + lb non-students


lb students is 2s as each student throws away two pounds a day.

lb non-students is 350. Therefore, the total amount of pounds of garbage thrown away each day is


total = 2s + 350


We can factor out a 2 from this expression as each term is divisible by 2 and that is the greatest common factor. We end up with


total = 2(s+175)
