Answer: the correct option is (A) x = y = 2.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the values of x and y that makes the triangles in the figure congruent by HL.

From the figure, we note that

triangles ABC and AED are right-angled triangles with hypotenuse AC, AD and one congruent side BC, ED.

Also, AC = 2x + 3, AD = 3y+1, BC = x and ED = y.

Since the triangles are congruent by HL postulate, so we must have

$x=y~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\2x+3=3y+1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)$

Substituting the value of x from equation (i) in equation (ii), we get

$2x+3=3x+1\\\\\Rightarrow 3x-2x=3-1\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.$

So, from equation (i), we arrive at

x = y = 2.

Thus, the correct option is (A).

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

60000

Step-by-step explanation:

56763 so you're going to take that number and you're going to run it to the nearest thousands by doing that you're going to take the six and six is either closest to zero or 10 and it is closer to 10 which would be your answer so you're going to add these zero replacing the six seven six and three in the equation and making me five of six by adding the one from the number 10 if you have any other questions text me if that doesn't make sense

shusha [124]

Hey there!

$\large\boxed{40\%}$

To find percent error, we find the difference between the prediction and the actual value. We take that difference, divide it by the prediction, and multiply it by 100.

So let's find the difference.

42 - 30 = 12

Divide the difference, which is 12, by 30.

12 ÷ 30 = 0.4

Multiply this by 100 to get the percent.

0.4 x 100 = 40

The percent error is 40%.

Hope this helps!
