ABCD is a plane quadrilateral and E is any point on AD. EF is drawn parallel
1 answer:
<u>Try this</u>:
FA/AB = AE/AD by the side-splitter theorem because EF ║ BD
∠FAE ≅ ∠BAD because an angle is congruent to itself
AE/AD = EG/DC by the side-splitter theorem because EG ║ CD
∠AEG ≅ ∠ADC because they are corresponding angles where a transversal crosses parallel lines
quadrilateral AFGE is similar to quadrilateral ABCD by SASAS similarity of quadrilaterals
From here, there are numerous ways to reach the conclusion. One of them is ...
∠AFG ≅ ∠ABC by corresponding angles of similar quadrilaterals
∴ FG ║ BC because ∠AFG and ∠ABC are corresponding angles where transversal AB crosses FG and BC

Answer: A basic theorem for finding the third length of a right angle triangle is the Pythagoras Theorem.
In a right angle triangle, the slant and usually longest side is called the Hypotenuse while the other two sides are Opposite and Adjacent.
The Pythagoras Theorem States:
Step-by-step explanation:
If for example, we are given the other two sides as 3 and 4 respectively,
Using
Hypotenuse = =5
These set of numbers (3,4,5) in this that satisfies the theorem are called Pythagorean Triples
