Step-by-step explanation:
- Since m∠ACM = 90°, then by angle addition, m∠ACP + m∠PCM = 90°.
- Since CP⊥ AM, then by definition of perpendicular, m∠APC = 90°. Since angles of a triangle add up to 180°, that means m∠PAC + m∠ACP = 90°.
- By substitution, m∠PCM = m∠PAC.
- Since m∠PCM + m∠CMP = 90°, then by substitution, m∠CMP = m∠PAC.
- Therefore, by AAA, △ACP and △CMP are similar.
Having proven that the triangles are similar, we can write the proportion:
AP / CP = CP / MP
9 / CP = CP / 16
CP² = 144
CP = 12
Now, we can simply use Pythagorean theorem to find the other sides.
AC² = AP² + CP²
AC² = 9² + 12²
AC = 15
CM² = CP² + PM²
CM² = 12² + 16²
CM = 20
Answer:
Improper fraction = 10/3 cups
Mixed fraction = 3 1/3 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Sam uses 2/3 cup of sugar to make cookies
Rate = 2/3 cup per batch
To make 5 batches, he would need;
Amount = number of batches × rate per batch
Amount = 5 batches × 2/3 cups per batch
Amount of sugar he would need = 10/3 or 3 1/3 cups
