Ok, imagine I have a finger pointed up, and you have your's as well. They are not congruent / parallell to each other because they are not in the same plane.

Plane: A plane is kind of the space around you, so take a paper and draw a line, the space around the line is called a plane. To make two lines parallell, they have to be straight and be in the same plane

Congruence/congruent= Equal(led) to

Postulates means that you know it without proof, for example, a right angle is 90 degrees.

There are different congruence postulates. It can be used for triangles or for other shapes.

I hope this answers your question, I am not to sure on what you said !

In the figures, name the congruent sides.

The second answer is correct. On the paper, CD are in the same spots as XY, and so forth for the other segments.

Explicit and Recursive Functions:

In this problem we need to find the value of a and b. So given that the function should be in the form f(n) = an + b and we know each value of n, then out goal is to find a and b.

For getting this purpose, we need to find a system of two equations (given that we have two unknown variables)

Therefore:

(1) f(0) = a(1) + b = 18
∴ a + b = 18

(2) f(1) = a(2) + b = 24
∴ 2a + b = 24

Solving for a and b we have:

a = 6
b = 12

Finally:

f(n) = 6n + 12
