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).

Find the area of the blue sector(s). The diameter of the wheel is 12

Ber [7]

We know that to find the area of the entire circle, we are going to use the equation:

$A=\pi r^{2}$

And we know that the diameter is 12. To find the radius, we divide the diameter by 2, so 12/2 = 6. So the radius is 6.

Now we can use this radius in the equation:

$A=\pi (6)^{2}$

$A=36\pi$

Since all of the angles of each section are equal, we can assume that each of the sections has an equal area. There are 5 sections, so we need to divide $36 \pi$ by 5 to find the area of each section:

$\frac{36 \pi}{5} =7.2 \pi$

Each section has an area of $7.2\pi units^{2}$ or, using 3.14 for pi, $7.2*3.14=22.61units^{2}$ .

Since we are told to find the area of the blue sections, we know that there are 2 sections that are blue. So we need to multiply the area of each section by 2, to find the area of two of the sections:

$22.61*2=45.22units^{2}$

Therefore, the answer is C) 45.2 $units^{2}$ .

the sum of two numbers is -17 one of the numbers is seven less than the other what are the two numbers?

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

-12 and -5

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=-17

b-a=7

b=7+a

a+7+a=-17

2a+7=-17

2a=-17-7

2a=-24

a=-12

-12+b=-17

b=-17+12

b=-5

so a and b are -12 and -5 respectively
