If you would like to find the percent markup, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of $20 is $29
x% * 20 = 29
x/100 * 20 = 29
x = 29 * 100 / 20
x = 145%

145% - 100% = 45%

The correct result would be 45%.

Answer: C. $\angle BCA\cong \angle DCB$ is the missing statement.

Explanation: Given: ΔABC with m∠ABC = 90° (view diagram)

Prove: $AB^2 + BC^2 = AC^2$

Proof: 1. Draw $BD\perp AC$ (construction)

2. $\angle ABC\cong\angle BDC$ (Angles with the same measure are congruent.)

3. $\angle BCA\cong \angle DCB$ (Reflexive Property of Congruence)

4. $\triangle ABC\sim \triangle BDC$ (AA criterion for similarity)

5. BC:DC=AC:BC (Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.)

6. $BC^2= AC\times DC$ (cross multiplication)----------(1)

7. $\angle ABC\cong \angle ADB$ (Angles with the same measure are congruent)

8. $\angle BAC\cong \angle DAB$ (Reflexive Property of Congruence)

9. $\triangle ABC\sim \triangle ADB$ (AA criterion for similarity)

10. AB:AD=AC:AB⇒ $AB^2=AC.AD$ --------------(2)

equation (1) + equation (2) ⇒ $AB^2+BC^2= AC(DC+AD)$ ⇒ $AB^2+BC^2= AC^2$

Solve the math problem

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

2) a. slope = 4/3

2) b. slope = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line that passes through points

$(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$

is m, given by the slope formula below:

$m = \dfrac{y_1 - y_2}{x_2 - x_1}$

2) a. (30, 32) and (18, 16)

$m = \dfrac{y_1 - y_2}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \dfrac{32 - 16}{30 - 18}$

$m = \dfrac{16}{12}$

$m = \dfrac{4}{3}$

2) b. (4, -26) and (10, -50)

$m = \dfrac{y_1 - y_2}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \dfrac{-50 - (-26)}{10 - 4}$

$m = \dfrac{-24}{6}$

$m = -4$

a pitcher of fruit punch holds 2 gallons.If 9 people share the entire pitcher equally ,how much punch does each person get ?

Arada [10]

Answer:

28 4/9oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'd convert this to ounces. A gallon is 128oz.

2x128=256

Now, divide by 9.

256/9≈28.44oz., or 28 4/9 oz.
