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).

Help pleaseeeeee thanks i hope u have a good day
VikaD [51]

Answer:

12825$

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yard = 3 ft

we can convert each of the lengths from ft to yards

240 ft = 80 yards

285 ft = 95 yards

450 ft = 150 yards

150+150+95+80 = 475 yards

1 yard of fencing costs 27$ so we are going to multiply that by the total yards

475*27=12825$

Point B is a point of tangency. Find the radius r of OC.<br> А 9<br> B<br> r<br> n
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Radius, r, is 3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram,

AB = 9

AC = 6 + r

BC = r

Thus applying the Pythagoras theorem, we have;

/AC/^{2} = /AB/^{2} + /BC/^{2}

(6 + r)^{2} = 9^{2} + r^{2}

36 + 12r + r^{2} = 81 + r^{2}

collecting like terms,

12r = 81 - 36

12r = 45

r = \frac{25}{12}

   = 3.75

r = 3.75

The radius is 3.75.
