Short Answers:

Answer for part A: Definition of perpendicular
Answer for part B: Right Angle Congruence Theorem
Answer for part C: Reflexive Property of Congruence
Answer for part D: Definition of Midpoint
Answer for part E: \triangle SXR \cong \triangle TXR
Answer for part F: CPCTC

-------------------------------------------------------------

Explanations:

Part A:

We are given that \overline{RX} \perp \overline{ST} which means, in english, "line segment RX is perpendicular to line segment ST"

By the very definition of perpendicular, this means that the two line segments form a right angle. This is visually shown as the red square angle marker for angle RXT. Angle RXS is also a right angle as well.

---------------------
Part B:

The Right Angle Congruence Theorem (aka Right Angle Theorem) is the idea that if we have two right angles, then we know that they are both 90 degrees so they must be congruent to one another. 

---------------------
Part C:

Any line segment is congruent to itself. This is because any line segment will have the same length as itself. It seems silly to even mention something so trivial but it helps establish what we need for the proof. 

---------------------
Part D:

We are given "X is the midpoint of segment ST" so by definition, X is in the very exact middle of ST. Midpoints cut segments exactly in half. SX is one half while TX is the other half. The two halves are congruent which is why SX = TX

---------------------
Part E:

Writing \triangle SXR \cong \triangle TXR means "triangle SXR is congruent to triangle TXR". These two triangles are the smaller triangles that form when you draw in segment RX

Side Note: SAS stands for "side angle side". The angle must be between the two sides. The pairing RX and RX forms one of the 'S' letters (see part C), while the pairing SX and TX forms the other 'S' (see part D). The angles between the sides are RXS and RXT (see part B). 

---------------------
Part F:

CPCTC stands for "Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent"

It means that if we have two congruent triangles, then the corresponding parts are congruent. Back in part E, we proved the triangles congruent. For this part, we look at the pieces RS and RT (which correspond to one another; they are the hypotenuse of each triangle). They are proven congruent by CPCTC

If CPCTC is an odd concept to think about, then try thinking about something like this: you have two houses which are completely identical in every way. We can say that those two houses are congruent. If the houses are identical, then surely every piece that makes up the house is identical to its corresponding piece to the other house. For example, the front door to each house is both the same size, shape, color, made of the same material, designed in the same pattern, etc. So the two doors are congruent as well.

What is b’c the length of bc after dilation? What is the measure of
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

the angle will always stay the same, it won't change

but if the dialation is 1/2, then that means that the sides will decrease in size compared to the original length,

(just divide by 2) on each side length to get the answer

A part-time contractor at a manufacturing facility earns $11.00 per hour. He worked 414 hours on Tuesday, 314 hours on Wednesday
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

$215.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming he worked:

Tuesday - 4.14 hours

Wednesday - 3.14

Thursday - 7.14

Friday - 5.14

Add all the hours together: 4.14+3.14+7.14+5.14 = 19.56. Now times the hour by his rate of $11.

19.56(11) = $215.16

. Two rectangles have a ratio of similarity of 4/7. If one side of the small rectangle is 12m long, how long is the same side of
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

For two rectangles to be similar, their sides have to be proportional (form equal ratios). The ratio of the two longer sides should equal the ratio of the two shorter sides.

A sphere has radius of 3 cm. What is the volume of the sphere?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer: 113.04 cm³

Step-by-step explanation: To find the volume of a sphere, start with the formula for the volume of a sphere which is shown below.

V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Here, we are given that our sphere has a radius of 3 centimeters.

So plugging into the formula, we have (\frac{4}{3})(\pi)(3 cm)^{3}.

Start by simplifying the exponent.

(3 cm)³ is equal to 3 centimeters · 3 centimeters ·

3 centimeters or 27 cm³.

So we have (\frac{4}{3})(27 cm^{3})(\pi).

Notice that we can cross-cancel 3 and 27 to 1 and 9.

So we have (4)(9 cm³) which is equal to 36 cm³.

So we have 36π cm³.

So the volume of the sphere is 36π cm³.

Remember that π is approximately equal to 22/7 or 3.14 so we can estimate the value of the volume by plugging in 3.14 for π.

So we have (36)(3.14) which is equal to 113.04 which means

that the volume of approximately equal to 113.04 cm³.
