Compute and compare the side lengths of the two figures. Does this support an argument claiming that they are congruent? What el

se must be true to say two polygons are congruent?

We compute for the side lengths using the distance formula √[(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²].

AB = √[(-7--5)²+(4-7)²] = √13
A'B' = √[(-9--7)²+(0-3)²] = √13

BC = √[(-5--3)²+(7-4)²] = √13
B'C' = √[(-7--5)²+(3-0)²] =√13

CD = √[(-3--5)²+(4-1)²] = √13
C'D' = √[(-5--7)²+(0--3)²] = √13

DA = √[(-5--7)²+(1-4)²] = √13
D'A' = √[(-7--9)²+(-3-0)²] = √13

The two polygons are squares with the same side lengths. 

But this is not enough information to support the argument that the two figures are congruent. In order for the two to be congruent, they must satisfy all conditions: 
1. They have the same number of sides.
2. All the corresponding sides have equal length.
3. All the corresponding interior angles have the same measurements.

The third condition was not proven.

The side lengths of the two figures can be calculated with the distance formula:

 √ (x1 - x2)² + (y1 - y2)²        

AB = √13  

BC = √13      

CD = √13    

DA = √13  

A'B' = √13      

B'C' = √13      

C'D' = √13      

D'A' = √13

They are all the same lengths. This supports an argument claiming that they are congruent because if the sides are congruent, then the two polygons are congruent.

Something else that must be true to say that two polygons are congruent is that the angles have equal measures.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

No, it is not a square

Step-by-step explanation:

If one wall is 19", that would mean the wall perpendicular to this wall is also 19" (in fact all of the walls would be 19"!) If this was a square, then the diagonal we draw at 20.62" would serve as the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  One wall would serve as a leg, and another wall as another leg.  If this is a square, then the Pythagorean's Theorem would be satisfied when we plug in the 2 wall measures for a and b, and the diagonal for c:

19^2+19^2=20.62^2

We need to see if this is a true statement.  If the left side equals the right side, then the 2 legs of the right triangle are the same length, and the room, then is a square.

361 + 361 = 425.1844

Is this true?  Does 722 = 425.1844?  Definitely not.  That means that the room is not a square.

A line passes through the point (8, -2) and has a slope of -3/4 .
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

y = -3/4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

-2 = (-3/4)(8) + b

-2 = -6 + b

4 = b

y = -3/4x + 4
