Remark

The key to this is the point (1,-3) That point must be found first. C is incorrect because you are using 3 not - 3 which does not change (as C has changed it) through out the problem.

A is using (-1,-3) which makes it wrong. Also the equation is y = -abs(x-1) - 3 which is also a mistake. The given graph points upwards not downwards.

D has it's min point at (-1,-3) which is not correct.

You are left with b which opens upwards (correct) has it's min at (1,-3) [also correct] so the answer is

The sale price of every item in a store is 85 percent of its usual price a. The usual price of a backpack is $30, what is the sa

zlopas [31]

for A multiply 85 and 30. then subtract 30 by the product, this gives you the sale price. For B you do the same thing but you multiply 18 and 85. then 18 subtracted by the product which gives you the sale price.

In triangle RST, m∠R > m∠S + m∠T. Which must be true of triangle RST? Check all that apply.

solmaris [256]

Answer:

1. m∠R > 90°

2. m∠S + m∠T < 90°

4. m∠R > m∠T

5. m∠R > m∠S

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>General strategy</h3>

prove the statement starting from known facts, or
disprove the statement by finding a counterexample

Helpful fact: Recall that the Triangle Sum Theorem states that m∠R + m∠S + m∠T = 180°.

Option 1. m∠R > 90°

Start with m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

Adding m∠R to both sides of the inequality...

m∠R + m∠R > m∠R + m∠S + m∠T

There are two things to note here:

The left side of this inequality is 2*m∠R
The right side of the inequality is exactly equal to the Triangle Sum Theorem expression

2* m∠R > 180°

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 2...

m∠R > 90°

So, the first option must be true.

Option 2. m∠S + m∠T < 90°

Start with m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

Adding (m∠S + m∠T) to both sides of the inequality...

m∠R + (m∠S + m∠T) > m∠S + m∠T + (m∠S + m∠T)

There are two things to note here:

The left side of this inequality is exactly equal to the Triangle Sum Theorem expression
The right side of the inequality is 2*(m∠S+m∠T)

Substituting

180° > 2* (m∠S+m∠T)

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 2...

90° > m∠S+m∠T

So, the second option must be true.

Option 3. m∠S = m∠T

Not necessarily. While m∠S could equal m∠T, it doesn't have to.

Example 1: m∠S = m∠T = 10°; By the triangle sum Theorem, m∠R = 160°, and the angles satisfy the original inequality.

Example 2: m∠S = 15°, and m∠T = 10°; By the triangle sum Theorem, m∠R = 155°, and the angles still satisfy the original inequality.

So, option 3 does NOT have to be true.

Option 4. m∠R > m∠T

Start with the fact that ∠S is an angle of a triangle, so m∠S cannot be zero or negative, and thus m∠S > 0.

Add m∠T to both sides.

(m∠S) + m∠T > (0) + m∠T

m∠S + m∠T > m∠T

Recall that m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

By the transitive property of inequalities, m∠R > m∠T.

So, option 4 must be true.

Option 5. m∠R > m∠S

Start with the fact that ∠T is an angle of a triangle, so m∠T cannot be zero or negative, and thus m∠T > 0.

Add m∠S to both sides.

m∠S + (m∠T) > m∠S + (0)

m∠S + m∠T > m∠S

Recall that m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

By the transitive property of inequalities, m∠R > m∠S.

So, option 5 must be true.

Option 6. m∠S > m∠T

Not necessarily. While m∠S could be greater than m∠T, it doesn't have to be. (See examples 1 and 2 from option 3.)

So, option 6 does NOT have to be true.

Help? Please? I really suck at geometry

Maslowich

Answer:

x = 14

y = 4

Explanation:

Ok so, just from looking at the two triangles i can tell they're congruent right triangles. I used different colors to show which sides of the triangle correspond and are equal to each other in my attatched photo.

So the side thats equal to x is the same length as the side that's equal to y+10 on the other triangle.

So we can write the equation x = y + 10.

Using this same method, the side that's equal to x + 2 is the same length as the side that's equal to 4y on the other triangle.

So, we can write the equation 4y = x + 2.

Now we have the equations $\left \{ {{x=y+10} \atop {4y=x+2}} \right.$ you could rewrite to be in slope- intercept form so they're easier to graph. But a graphing calculator online would plot it just fine.
