If triangle KMN is congruent with triangle LMN, then:
1) KM must be congruent with LM→KM=LM→
x+2y=3x-y→x+2y-x-2y=3x-y-x-2y→0=2x-3y→2x-3y=0 (1)

2) KN must be congruent with LN→KN=LN→
5x+3y=8x-7→5x+3y-5x-3y+7=8x-7-5x-3y+7→7=3x-3y→3x-3y=7 (1)

We have a system of two equations and two unkowns:
(1) 2x-3y=0
(2) 3x-3y=7

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2)
(3x-3y)-(2x-3y)=7-0
3x-3y-2x+3y=7
x=7

Replacing x=7 in equation (1)
(1) 2x-3y=0→2(7)-3y=0→14-3y=0→
14-3y+3y=0+3y→14=3y→14/3=3y/3→14/3=y→y=14/3

The length of the hypotenuse is:
KN=5x+3y=5(7)+3(14/3)=35+14→KN=49
or
LN=8x-7=8(7)-7=56-7→LN=49

Answer: Option C. 49

Answer:

$0.47 \to 2\ digits$

$3.2 \to 1\ digit$

$Product \to 3\ digits$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$0.47 * 3.2 =$

See comment for complete question

Required

The number of decimal places

To do this, we simply calculate the number of digits after the decimal points

$0.47 \to 2\ digits$

$3.2 \to 1\ digit$

The product is the sum of the digits above 2 + 1 = 3

Hence:

$Product \to 3\ digits$

Name an angle bisector shown in the figure. DE AB GB CF

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An angle bisector is a line that divide an angle into two equal angles.

In this problem

$m\angle ACF=m\angle FCD$ ---> given problem

$m\angle ACD=m\angle ACF+m\angle FCD$ ---> by addition angle postulate

CF is an angle bisector of angle $m\angle ACD$

KatRina [158]

The equation describes a function whose maximum value is 5. The data set describes a function whose maximum value is also 5. Comparing the maximum values, we must conclude ...

... It is the same for both functions.

_____

Please note that the premise is that g(x) is a quadratic function. It is definitely NOT a quadratic function in the usual sense of the term.
