What two ways can you find the product of 8x997 using mental math

1 answer:

7 0

8=10-2 or
997=1000-3
so we can use distributive property
remember, a(b+c)=ab+ac

for the first one
8(997)=(10-2)(997)=997(10-2)=997(10)+997(-2)=9970-1994=7976

2nd one
8(997)=8(1000-3)=8(1000)+8(-3)=8000-24=7976

Use the following diagram and information to answer the question.

Reika [66]

Answer:

b) Julie can use properties of congruent triangles to show that AB≅BC and BC≅CD. Then she can show BC≅AD because opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

On the assumption that Julie must show all four sides to be congruent, the one remaining step after using the properties of congruent triangles is to show that side AD is congruent to the rest of the sides. Answer choice B describes that.

___

IMO, Julie is finished after she shows∠A≅∠B and AB≅BC, because a parallelogram will be a square if adjacent sides are congruent (makes it a rhombus) and adjacent angles are congruent (makes it a rectangle). A rhombus that is a rectangle is a square.
