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.

Calculate the average speed (tin km/hr) of charlie who run to the store 4 km away in 30 minutes
Galina-37 [17]

ANSWER

8km/hr

EXPLANATION

The average speed

=  \frac{distance}{time}

Distance=4km

Time=30mins

Convert time to hours.

Time =0.5hrs

The average speed

=  \frac{4}{0.5}

= 8km/hr

Jan is saving for a skateboard she has saved 30 dollars already which is 20percent of the total price. How much does it cost?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so 20% of the total price equals $ 30

let x represent the total price

turn ur percent to a decimal

0.20x = 30

x = 30 / 0.20

x = 150 <=== total price

Help? im confused plss!<br> Find the area of the regular polygon with the given radius or apothem
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

  50 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the regular polygon is a square, there are multiple ways you can jump directly to the answer. Perhaps the simplest is to use the formula for the area of a rhombus:

  A = 1/2(d1)(d2)

where d1 and d2 are the lengths of the diagonals. Here, we see that half the diagonal is 5 cm, so the area is ...

  A = (1/2)(10 cm)(10 cm) = 50 cm² . . . . area of the polygon

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>

If you want to use the radius and the number of sides in a formula, you can consider the area of each triangle formed by radii and a side. That triangle has area ...

  A = 1/2r²sin(α)

where r is the radius and α is the central angle. For an n-sided polygon, the area is the sum of n of these triangles, and the central angle is 360°/n. Then the polygon area is ...

  A = n/2·r²·sin(360°/n)

For n = 4 and r = 5 cm, the area is ...

  A = (4/2)(5 cm)²(sin(360°/4)) = 2(5 cm)²(1) = 50 cm² . . . . area of square

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The formula is somewhat different if you start with the length of the apothem. One way to find the area is using the above formula and the relation between the radius and apothem:

  r = a·sec(180°/n)

Another formula uses the apothem directly:

  A = n·a²·tan(180°/n)
