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).

What is the total number of digits required in numbering the pages of a book which has 53 pages?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The total number of digits required in numbering the pages of a book that has 53 pages would be: 97.

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer would be 97 due to the first nine digits being singular.

The next 44 digits are double, so therefore, you multiply 44 by 2, and you end up with 88.

After that, you take 88 and add the 9, which, is 97 digits in total that you would need to number a 53 page book.
