The triangles KLH and FLH are congruent by the hypotenuse leg theorem (HL theorem for short) because KL = LF is one pair of congruent legs and LM = LM is the pair of congruent hypotenuses. This theorem only works for right triangles.

By CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent), this means we can say that the bottom two angles KHL and FHL are congruent

So,

angle KHL = angle FHL

6y = 4y+18 ... substitution

6y-4y = 4y+18-4y .... subtract 4y from both sides

2y = 18

2y/2 = 18/2 ... divide both sides by 2

y = 9

Answer: 9

If you have 80 employees and you grew 116%, what was the amount of original employees?

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: 69

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original employee be x , this means that

116% of x = 80

$\frac{116x}{100}$ = 80

116x = 8000

divide through by 116

x = 8000/116

x = 68.96551724

Since we are dealing with employees , therefore x ≈ 69

This means that there were 69 employees originally

Carys calculates the total amount EEE, in dollars, that she earns for working hhh hours using the equation E=10hE=10hE, equals,

timurjin [86]

Answer:

$10 per hour
0.1 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Carys' earnings in one hour, fill in h=1 in the formula:

E = 10·1 = 10

Carys earns 10 dollars per hour.

To find the number of hours required to earn 1 dollar, fill in E=1 in the formula:

1 = 10h

0.1 = h . . . . . divide by 10

It takes 0.1 hours for Carys to earn 1 dollar.
