Answer:

Given that JN was bisected, JL ≅ LN

Given that KM was bisected, KL ≅ ML

∠JLK ≅ ∠MLN because of vertical angles.

∠JLK is contained by JL and KL.

∠MLN is contained by ML and LN.

Therefore ΔJKL ≅ ΔNML by the SAS postulate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The SAS postulate states that when you know two triangles have an equal angle, and that angle is formed by two sides that are equal in both triangles, the two triangles are congruent.

When a line is bisected, it means it was cut in two equal parts.

Since two lines were bisected and each form a side in the triangles, two sides are congruent.

The contained angles, ∠JLK and ∠MLN, are equal because of vertical angles. Vertical angles occur when two straight lines intersect. Angles that are opposite to each other are equal in all cases.

How many whole cans can the company make out of each sheet of metal?

klio [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Surface Area of the Metal Sheet = $1000\:in^2$

Given a cylinder with diameter 3 Inch and height $4\frac{1}{4} in$

To determine how many whole cans can be made, the first step is to find the total surface area of each of the cylindrical can.

Total Surface Area of a cylinder = $2\pi r^2+2\pi rh$

Radius =3÷2=1.5 Inch

Height of the can = $4\frac{1}{4} in$

Total Surface Area of each can

$2\pi r^2+2\pi rh=2\pi r(r+h)\\=2*1.5*\pi(1.5+4.25)\\=3\pi *5.75\\=17.25\pi \:in^2$

Number of Cans that can be Made

To determine this, we divide the total surface area of the metal sheet by the total surface area of each can.

Number of Cans=Total surface area of the metal sheet÷Total surface area of each can.

$=1000 \div 17.25\pi\\=18.45$

Therefore, the company can make 18 whole cans from each sheet of metal.

How many triangles can be drawn with side lengths of 3 inches, 5 inches, and 6 inches???

storchak [24]

Answer:

4 congruent triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

since there is no one of the sum of two sides is less then the third side, so it's possible to form a triangle

Use straightedge and compass, it can draw 4 triangles at a common base

7 points!

Travka [436]

It is the plus minus sign. It means to do the addition and subtraction.

Examples:

10 ± 7 = 17 and 3

15 ± 5 = 20 and 10

100 ± 90 = 190 and 10

It is generally used to indicate a possibility of two outcomes. A negative or positive outcome.
